Bihar Bahubali Gears Up For Daughter’s Wedding, Guest List Expected To Exceed 4 Lakh

Anant Singh Plans Lavish Wedding Feast For Daughter, Up To 4 Lakh Guests Expected

Bihar’s Mokama MLA and strongman Anant Singh is preparing for an extravagant celebration as his daughter Shivangi Singh is set to marry Rishikesh Kumar on November 25. The wedding arrangements are being made on a massive scale, with provisions to host and serve food to as many as four lakh guests.

The wedding ceremony will take place at Anant Singh’s ancestral residence in Ladma village. Preparations are progressing rapidly, with workers and artisans engaged in creating elaborate arrangements for the grand occasion.

Special artisans from Mau in Uttar Pradesh have been brought in to construct the wedding pandal and stage for the traditional garland-exchange ceremony. The main pandal is expected to be ready by November 20, while a separate enclosure is being arranged for VIP guests.

A 100-foot-long cemented stage is also under construction for the bride and groom. According to the preparations, around 150 quintals of decorative material and ornaments will be used to adorn the venue.

The celebrations will also involve a newly constructed house in Bihta, where the groom’s family is expected to settle after the marriage. Several wedding-related ceremonies and rituals will take place at the new residence. The wedding procession will travel from Bihta to Ladma, where the main marriage rituals will be performed.

The guest list is expected to include prominent personalities from politics and the entertainment industry. Around three dozen Bollywood and regional entertainment figures, including Sonu Sood, Manoj Tiwari, Maithili Thakur, Akshara Singh and Pawan Singh, are reportedly among those expected to attend.

Anant Singh has also indicated that Prime Minister Narendra Modi will receive an invitation. He said invitations have been extended to politicians from both the ruling and opposition camps, emphasising that political differences should not matter at a wedding. He also mentioned inviting people from across India and Pakistan.

However, the celebrations come amid legal challenges for the Mokama MLA. Six days after the wedding, Singh may be required to surrender in connection with the murder case of Dular Chand Yadav. He was arrested in October last year over allegations of orchestrating the killing and was released on bail in March. The Supreme Court subsequently directed him to surrender by December 1.

Anant Singh, popularly known as ‘Chhote Sarkar’, has also recently attracted controversy over his claim that he had masterminded the killings of nine people for former Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar. He later withdrew the statement, clarifying that he had intended to refer to the deaths of nine associates during the Lalu Prasad Yadav government, allegedly because of their association with Nitish Kumar.

The Janata Dal (United) distanced itself from his controversial remarks and expelled him from the party for six years on disciplinary grounds.
