Designer Sabyasachi Mukherjee says he remembers how Aditya Chopra helped keep the couple’s 2014 wedding with Rani Mukerji private. According to the account, Chopra was “chasing drones” during the ceremony, aimed at preventing outsiders from capturing or leaking details.

Sabyasachi also describes other behind-the-scenes efforts for secrecy and preparation. He says he had limited time—about a week—to design Rani Mukerji’s outfit, including creating a custom sari and wedding attire. He adds that only a small group was present, with around 15 people. The sources also say Sabyasachi warned filmmaker Karan Johar not to share any information with the press.

Contextually, the reports note that the wedding images remained largely undisclosed for years. They link this continued privacy to the couple’s later focus on family life, including the birth of their daughter, Adira, in 2015. While the outlets differ in wording and specifics, both attribute the secrecy to active measures to prevent photography and controlled sharing of information.
