With another round of wedding season coming up we take a closer look at how the Big Fat Indian Wedding has become quite the draw when it comes to the invite list, the endless festivities and the social media draw. One common link between all these fabulous fetes is the presence of some serious A-List star wattage when it comes to the wedding entertainment (Beyoncé anyone?). From J.Lo to Akon to Bruno Mars and of course Queen Bey, check out our list of superstars who performed at big fat indian weddings.

Beyoncé at the Ambani wedding

Isha Ambani, the daughter of India’s wealthiest man, Mukesh Ambani, tied the knot with businessman Anand Piramal in what is known as a “Big Fat Indian Wedding.” Guests were treated to a private Beyoncé concert in the historic city of Udaipur in Rajasthan. The Lemonade singer performed some of her biggest hits, including “Crazy In Love,” “Naughty Girl” and “Perfect” for guests at the glitzy event was held at the luxury Oberoi Udaivilas Hotel. Guests included Hillary Clinton, Sachin Tendulkar and Bollywood stars Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, Aamir Khan, Katrina Kaif, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Abhishek Bachchan and many more.

In 2015, Jennifer Lopez and Nicole Scherzinger were the star guests of Indian billionaire Sanjay Hinduja and Anusuya Mahtani, who also tied the knot in Udaipur. In addition to the Hollywood guests, the wedding was graced by several Bollywood celebs and fashion icons.
