When asked about his experience performing at the Bollywood couples’ parties, DJ Aqeel said, “Saif and Kareena’s sangeet ceremony was very intimate, with only a few people at the Taj. Abhishek’s was at his house in Juhu — it was a crazy party. Both were fun. They are all my friends; I grew up with these guys. So, there was a sense of comfort in knowing the entire crowd. It wasn’t like a stranger came in and performed. Most of them even attended my wedding too.”

DJ Aqeel also shared his experience of performing at Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant’s wedding, revealing that the baraat featured 13 stages, with him performing on one of them during a non-stop marathon lasting four-and-a-half to five hours alongside several renowned artists. He also explained that his absence from social media posts related to the event was due to an NDA he had signed, which prohibited him from sharing any content online.

Abhishek and Aishwarya tied the knot in April 2007 in a lavish wedding ceremony. The couple has been married for 18 years now and are parents to a beautiful daughter, Aaradhya Bachchan. Saif and Kareena tied the knot in October 2012 after dating for five years. The couple is now parents to two sons, Taimur Ali Khan and Jeh Ali Khan.
