Everyone swooned when actors Sidharth Malhotra and Kiara Advani tied the knot at Suryagarh Palace in Rajasthan last year. But it was their wedding song that truly captured the hearts of many.

In a recent podcast, their wedding videographer Vishal Punjabi, also known as ‘The Wedding Filmer,’ recalled how the Shershaah co-actors decided to use their wildly popular song ‘Ranjha’ for their wedding.

Vishal explained that the original lyrics of ‘Ranjha’ from the movie were about Sidharth’s character dying and Kiara’s character, who was his love interest, yearning for him to come back to her.

“It’s a song about death and destruction, but she (Kiara) wanted to walk to that song. Validly so, because it’s the song that people loved the two of them for. Being Bollywood actors, they’re known for that song,” Vishal said in the Culture Podcast with DJ Simz.

Though it made sense for Kiara to walk to that song, the videographer and his team felt the lyrics didn’t fit the celebratory vibe of the wedding.

“What I did with my team was change the lyrics of the song. We made them positive and happy, and about, ‘I’m coming to you,’” Vishal revealed in the interview.

Bollywood fans embraced the new version, seeing it as the happy ending the couple’s characters didn’t get in the movie. “They took the wedding film as the real ending to the movie. They didn’t get a happy ending in the movie, but in real life, they got it.”

This is not the first time a custom song has been made for a Bollywood celebrity wedding. The first ones to do it were Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma, for whom singer Harshdeep Kaur sang the song ‘Peer Vi Tu.’
