Ushna Shah lashes out at a blogger who brought a drone to her big day. Every bride wants her wedding to go flawlessly and spends a lot of time planning ahead of time to ensure everything is perfect. However, when it comes to a celebrity wedding, some people refuse to understand that their privacy must be respected — especially if they request it. Ushna Shah married professional golfer Hamza Amin on Sunday, but some incidents ruined the festivities, including an invited blogger who brought not only a plus one but also a photographer and a drone to swoop in on moments the actor wanted to share only with her close family.
On Monday, the actor took to Instagram to name and shame the guest who did not comply with the terms. “I am disgusted and feel violated. AB Lakhany, of Moovyshoovy was invited out of obligation as I have known him for years and he happened to be at the office where we were designing invitations. His invite said strictly no plus one,” she wrote.
“He was then sent a memo along with other guests to not record personal moments, especially the nikah. Not only did he bring a plus one, he brought a photographer without permission [and] lied to my family that I had allowed this. That photographer then sent exclusive unapproved photos to various [media] portals.” she further added.
Whereas Shah’s own photographers — O Shoot and Fatima Tariq Photography — have not released any pictures from Ushna Shah’s wedding.
She said that he also brought a drone into the private nikah enclosure on the water and recorded the signing, which left her “in tears” afterwards. “This man has no principles, no ethics and no business being hired for anything. [I] invited him out of courtesy and he showed none. I am absolutely repulsed,” she added.
She also shared screenshots of the WhatsApp chat in which she sent him the invites.
She also described the atmosphere when the drone reached her. “The drone was hovering loudly next to my head during my signing I had to shoo it away. I had a sick feeling in my stomach wondering who it was. Does any bride deserve this?” she questioned.
Shah also wrote about comments people have made about her outfit and wrote, “Whether my dress looked Indian to people or even Mongolian, does any human being deserve this? Our nikah enclosure allowed 15 people, family only. I am dizzy with disgust that this man would stoop so low.”
She said the photographer in question was Saad Ansari Photography who “claims he just posted and distributed someone else’s photos”. The Parizaad actor said she will take legal action if possible. “Whoever it was, was not invited and came with AB Lakhani — please unfollow his sick portal. If I have any legal standing to do something about this, I will. I feel absolutely violated,” she concluded.
