Who is Seema Singh, businesswoman whose daughter's lavish wedding is making waves online?
Mumbai witnessed a star-studded celebration recently when Seema Singh's daughter, Meghna Singh, got married to fiancé Shantanu in a lavish ceremony. The celebration was a multi-day affair with top Bollywood celebrities, politicians and other high profile personalities in attendance.
Shahid Kapoor performed at Meghna and Shantanu's sangeet, while Karan Johar set the stage on fire with his dance moves. Bollywood actors like Sushmita Sen, Arjun Kapoor, Shilpa Shetty and Anupam Kher also attended the celebrations, as did the entire star cast of Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Wives. In pictures shared on social media, Aaditya Thackeray can also be seen entering the venue of Seema Singh's daughter's wedding.
Seema Singh belongs to the family behind the multinational pharmaceutical company Alkem Laboratories, which is headquartered in Mumbai.
She is married to Mritunjay Kumar Singh, promoter of Alkem Laboratories, according to the Times of India. The couple resides in Worli, Mumbai.
Seema Singh is a philanthropist and the founder of Meghashrey, an NGO dedicated to the upliftment of underprivileged women and children. The NGO is named after her children, Meghna and Shrey.
Singh belongs to Patna. After completing her education at Patna University, she moved to Mumbai to pursue her entrepreneurial ambitions.
According to her website, despite her father-in-law chairing Alkem Pharma, and her husband, MK Singh being a director of the same company, Seema's true calling lies in social work.
She was conferred with the Champions of Change Award in 2023 by then-President Ram Nath Kovind. 'I am privileged to be able to support the underprivileged women and children through different initiatives and programs since the inception of Meghashrey,' she wrote on Instagram.

He says, 'I've played lead roles for almost a decade now and while I'm grateful for those opportunities, I wanted to break free from the loverboy image. I don't want to limit myself. Growth, for me, means evolving with every project.' He adds, 'My role in Anupamaa was refreshing and it gave me a chance to challenge myself as an actor. Going forward, I'd love to take up more grey or even negative roles. I'm also drawn to the mythological genre. I would love to play Ram or Krishna in a show." 'I hope to find the right partner soon' On the personal front, Randeep says that he's single. 'When I did Yeh Un Dinon Ki Baat Hai in 2017, I got thousands of marriage proposals from my hometown, Jhansi, and nearby towns in Uttar Pradesh,' he recalls with a smile. 'But like the show's title, yeh un dinon ki baat hai — those days are long gone. Life has moved on, and now I genuinely feel it's time to settle down.

Smriti Irani pens down a heartfelt post for her Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi producer and friend Ektaa Kapoor on her 50th Birthday
Ektaa Kapoor, who celebrates her 50th birthday today (June 7), received a heartfelt message from her longtime friend, Smriti Irani . Marking the special occasion, Smriti took to Instagram to pen an emotional note dedicated to Ektaa, the creative force behind the iconic show Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi. Wishing her a happy birthday, Smriti penned a long note and note, "That night, we walked —from the quiet lanes of Juhu to the sacred steps of Siddhivinayak. Not in celebration, but in surrender. She had made a silent vow when I was chasing a dream — a prayer not for herself, but for me. And when the dream turned real, when the world clapped — she didn't call to revel in the applause. She reminded me: We owe Bappa our thanks. Gratitude walks before pride in her world. " Praising Ektaa and her hard work, Smriti further wrote, "The world knows her as fierce - a woman of will, words, and unwavering resolve. But I have known her silences; the softness that doesn't seek attention, the care that doesn't need credit. She is the quiet strength behind many journeys, the keeper of promises no one else hears. Today, she turns 50. A milestone many will raise a toast to. But in the hush of this day, I whisper a prayer — May peace wrap itself around her like a shawl on a weary evening. May success find her, not because she chases it, but because she gives so much of herself away. She deserves both. And so much more. Happy Birthday EK." Ektaa and Smriti have been close friends for many years. They have always supported each other and have a strong bond with each other's families. Smriti enjoys spending time with Ekta's son Ravie and often brings him books. In the same way, Ekta is very loving towards Smriti's kids. For those who may not know, Smriti Irani's most iconic and longest-running show, Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi, was produced by Ektaa Kapoor. Smriti played the role of Tulsi Virani, a character that became a household name across the country. The two are now teaming up again for a brand-new season of the iconic show. Ekta Kapoor's emotional message on 19 years of Smriti Irani's 'Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi' Get the latest lifestyle updates on Times of India, along with Eid wishes , messages, , and quotes !
