New Delhi: In an explosive revelation made by a famous wedding filmer Vishal Punjabi, once again eyebrows are raised on how infidelity is quite a norm in the dark underbelly of showbiz.
Filmmaker Vishal Punjabi, also known as The Wedding Filmer, has videographed several high-profile couples for their weddings. In a recent chat, he was asked if any of the marriages he has filmed have ended in divorce.
He revealed how a big actor was caught cheating with an actress by his wife, who then refused to see their wedding film.
Speaking to DJ Simz on YouTube, Vishal Punjabi said, "That happened with a celebrity.
Two months after their wedding, he was cheating on her. He was caught red-handed with this Bollywood actress
in his makeup van, on a Bollywood set. His wife walks in and catches him naked, and says,
‘I don’t want your wedding film'."
Recalling what happened next, Vishal continued, “I’m calling the groom, he’s not picking up.
I’m calling up the bride, she’s like, ‘Don’t talk to me, I don’t want the wedding film!’ So then,
I call up his manager, and he’s like, ‘Bro, man, it’s not happening, we don’t want the film’.
I was like, ‘What do I do? Do I sell it to Netflix?'” Vishal said that he hadn’t been fully paid for his
services either, and this experience made him change certain SOPs around his business. “Back then,
I used to have a contract that said 50% before and 50% after I give you the film. After this incident,
I was like, ‘This is about the heart, marriage, life and fam, and I’m going to charge you a 100% before I come.”
He said that he still has the footage, but he didn’t chase them for the pending payment later.
“In the film, the groom is crying, saying, ‘I love you, baby’. You know they’re fake crocodile tears.
He’s a big Bollywood actor. Can’t take names, but damn… The value I have of that footage is worth millions.
It’s a comedy film. I could sell it and make s**tloads of money,” he said. Looking directly into the camera,
he added, “You know who you are!”
Having had an insider’s view of several high-profile celebrity weddings over the years, filmmaker Vishal Punjabi,
otherwise known as the Wedding Filmer, spoke about a particularly controversial experience that he had with
a celebrity couple. He recalled that they refused to go through with their agreement about the video that
he was supposed to produce for them, because the husband – ‘a big Bollywood actor’ – was caught cheating on
his wife two months after their wedding.
