Relationship coach shares tips on getting marriage planning right: How to handle parents, relatives and more
Weddings are often seen as the most magical day of a couple's life, but behind the glamour, there's a lot of planning, decision-making, and emotional work involved. Relationship coach and fitness trainer Yash Vardhan Swami in his May 16 post, shared the marriage planning principles and framework he developed, not just from his own wedding but after experiencing 15 close weddings over the last season. (Also read: Planning to get married? Here are the essential premarital conversations to have ) "Got married last year. Attended 15 more weddings after that. Read this before you plan your wedding," he wrote in the post. Let's take a look at his advice: A post shared by Yash Vardhan Swami (@trainedbyyvs) Some were childhood sweethearts. Some met abroad. A few were best friends who later fell in love. Others were colleagues. And some were introduced through their families, aka, an 'arranged' marriage. What's the common thread? Love, effort, and imperfection. None of these stories was flawless. But they worked because the people in them made them work. If Bollywood or K-pop has made you fantasise about perfect love stories, let this be your reminder: they're not real. You'll have your own story, where you and your partner are the leads. There will be good days and not-so-good ones. But always remember: no struggle, no story. Guests, including most of your extended family, won't remember much after a few days. If everything is perfect, they'll forget. If it's not, they'll still forget. It is nearly impossible to satisfy everyone, so instead of planning for others, focus on creating a meaningful experience for yourself. Be gracious hosts, but make choices that feel right for you. The couple should make most decisions based on their preferences, vision, and budget. While others may not remember the event in detail, you will. So, focus on what matters to you. Of course, being a good host is important, but don't let that come at the cost of your own enjoyment. A wedding has countless moving parts, and not everything will go as planned. If something is out of your control, let it go. Aim to plan 80% of your wedding based on your and your partner's wishes, and dedicate the remaining 20% to your family's preferences. Why? Because many parents didn't have the freedom or finances to plan the wedding they envisioned for themselves. Including them in your planning can be a meaningful gesture of love and respect. Note: If your parents are contributing financially, this ratio may need to shift accordingly. Being 1.5 years into marriage, Yash says he has realised that the wedding itself matters far less than the relationship that follows. A beautiful celebration is no substitute for a strong foundation. Before you finalise vendors and décor, have honest conversations about the things that truly matter: Yash suggests limiting photography time to around 20 minutes per day. This helps couples stay present and enjoy their special moments fully. He emphasises that what you feel during your wedding matters more than what ends up on social media. He recommends starting each day with meditation to stay centred amid the chaos and emotions. Meditation can calm nerves and protect emotional energy throughout the celebrations. Yash advises keeping alcohol intake low during the initial days of the wedding functions. This approach helps avoid hangovers and irritability, allowing you to feel fresh and fully present. You can then celebrate more freely on the final day. He reminds couples that a wedding is about both partners showing up for each other. While family and friends add to the joy, prioritising the couple's bond is essential. A meaningful marriage matters far more than a picture-perfect event.

No birthday gifts for Karan Johar, just sass: Yash and Roohi trolling dad's wardrobe goes viral
A Global Stage and New Collaborations Looking Ahead: Projects in the Pipeline Despite decades of success and an undeniable influence on Indian cinema, Karan Johar continues to find himself under public scrutiny. Whether it's the films he directs or the projects he produces, Karan is no stranger to trolling. But rather than let criticism affect him, the filmmaker often chooses to look at life with humour and grace. Recently, he shared a heartwarming moment that revealed how even within the safety of his home, he's not immune to sharp critique—from his own a recent video posted online, Karan shared a candid exchange with his twins, Yash and Roohi , on the occasion of his birthday. When he asked them why he didn't receive any presents, Roohi was quick to defend herself, proudly showcasing an origami flower she had crafted as a gift. Yash, on the other hand, offered warm hugs and kisses in place of material gifts. But the innocence ended Karan pressed further, asking Yash what he planned to give next year, the little boy didn't hold back. He candidly suggested that his father needed a new wardrobe. Roohi joined in, saying they both felt he should stop taking selfies. Karan, taken aback but trying to play along, found himself laughing awkwardly—until Yash delivered one final blow, asking him to stop making 'that face,' referring to Karan's trademark and mock-defeated, Karan jokingly asked why he even needed anyone else to criticize him when he had such brutally honest kids at home. He later captioned the video calling them his 'in-house trolls,' turning what could've been a moment of embarrassment into a display of self-deprecating humour and Karan was recently seen at the 78th Cannes International Film Festival, where he proudly represented his production venture Homebound. The film, directed by Neeraj Ghaywan, stars Ishaan Khatter, Janhvi Kapoor, and Vishal Jethwa in pivotal roles. Notably, the project boasts an impressive line-up of producers, including Somen Mishra, Adar Poonawalla, Apoorva Mehta, and legendary filmmaker Martin Scorsese. Homebound received a positive reception at the prestigious event, further cementing Karan's global influence as a his last production, Kesari 2—starring Akshay Kumar and R. Madhavan—did not perform well at the box office despite favorable reviews, Karan is far from slowing down. His upcoming slate includes the Punjabi film Akaal, a sequel titled Dhadak 2 featuring Triptii Dimri and Siddhant Chaturvedi, and a romantic drama titled Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri.

Tired of too many ads? go ad free now A police team was formed and investigations were initiated. ASP Ramsanehi Mishra said that with the assistance of the Zone-03 cyber crime team and through intelligence gathering, the police located Yash and three others near a secluded spot on Super Corridor Service Road along with a car. The suspects were taken into custody after a 16-hour-long operation. During interrogation, Yash confessed that he fabricated the abduction story with his associates. He revealed that he was involved in finance-related work and accumulated a debt of approximately Rs 2 lakh due to his lavish lifestyle and extravagant habits. In a desperate attempt to secure money, he pawned the family's SUV for Rs 1 lakh without informing his parents and falsely claimed that it was seized by the municipal corporation. Under pressure from creditors, Yash plotted his fake abduction with the help of Rahul Mehra, a known criminal, and two others—Adarsh Chakravedi and Dharmendra Lodhi. Rahul Mehra, who has 13 criminal cases registered against him at various Indore police stations, including Tukoganj, MIG, Lasudiya, Khajrana, Kanadia and Tilak Nagar, made a ransom call to Yash's parents. Adarsh monitored the activities of both the victim's family and the police, while Dharmendra provided logistical support. Following the revelation, all four accused—Yash Rathore, Rahul Mehra, Adarsh Chakravedi and Dharmendra Lodhi—were arrested and further legal action is underway. In recognition of the teamwork, Zone-03 DCP has announced a cash reward for the entire team.
