Netra Mantena-Vamsi Gadiraju had the same wedding photographer as Radhika and Anant Ambani
Indian-American heiress Netra Mantena married Silicon Valley entrepreneur Vamsi Gadiraju in a luxurious Udaipur wedding photographed by Joseph Radhik.
Indian-American pharmaceutical heiress Netra Mantena tied the knot in what is being called the most luxurious wedding of 2025. Netra married Silicon Valley tech entrepreneur Vamsi Gadiraju in a lavish ceremony in Udaipur yesterday, which saw a bevy of national and international stars in attendance. Their pre-wedding celebrations were spread across multiple days and venues in the city of lakes and saw performances from superstars like Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, Kriti Sanon, Shahid Kapoor, Janhvi Kapoor and Ranveer Singh among others.

A wedding at such a grand scale inevitably draws comparisons with the Ambani wedding of 2024, when billionaire Mukesh Ambani’s youngest son married Radhika Merchant. While the Ambanis were not present in Udaipur for the Mantena-Gadiraju nuptials, their wedding did have an Ambani connection — both weddings had the same photographer.
Celebrity photographer Joseph Radhik, who photographed the Ambani wedding, was also the photographer of Netra Mantena and Vamsi Gadiraju’s opulent wedding celebrations.

Radhik shared a selfie with the bride and groom and their guests on Instagram Stories as the wedding wrapped up. “Netra Garu, that was a blast,” he captioned the selfie.
