Mumbai, March 3 (IANS) Ashutosh Gowariker’s son Konark’s wedding reception was a star-studded affair, with Bollywood’s who’s who in attendance.
However, the highlight of the evening was the reunion of the ‘Lagaan’ cast and crew, who came together to relive old memories. Notably absent from the celebration was Reena Dutta, Aamir Khan’s first wife.
On Sunday, Ashutosh hosted a star-studded wedding reception of his son Konark, and among the guests were ‘Lagaan’ stars Aamir Khan and Gracy Singh. The ‘Dhoom 3’ actor looked dashing in a suit, while his ‘Lagaan’ co-star Gracy wore an elegant pink lehenga. A lot of people associated with the film, including Aditya Lakhia, who played Kachra in ‘Lagaan,’ and producer Kiran Rao, also attended the reception.
However, one important name that was missing was Reena Dutta, who was one of the producers of ‘Lagaan.’ The reunion of the Lagaan team was a nostalgic moment for fans and industry insiders alike, as many cast members came together to celebrate Konark Gowariker’s wedding.
Interestingly, on the 20th anniversary of ‘Lagaan,’ Aamir reminisced about how his ex-wife, Reena, played a pivotal role in the production of the blockbuster film.
Speaking at a press conference, the ‘PK’ actor fondly recalled how Reena supported him in turning his dream into reality.
Aamir was quoted as saying, “I think the one thing that remains with me is the way Reena handled the film. My ex-wife Reena, who was a producer of the film, was somebody who had no understanding of cinema until then. Though she was married to me for a number of years, she was not interested in films. So, she never knew anything about filmmaking. So, when I requested her one night that I am producing a film, I will need your help.”
Among other celebs who graced Ashutosh Gowariker’s son’s reception were Shabana Azmi, Javed Akhtar, Vidya Balan, Pooja Hegde, Sonali Bendre, Genelia D’Souza, and Riteish Deshmukh.
