MediaFx Opinion
From the peopleās perspective, this grand gala shows how wealth towers while public needs lag. Itās great on paperĀ ā plenty of jobs, stellar experiences, and those mass weddings were heartwarming. But could just a fractionĀ of that ā¹5,000 crore help rebuild schools, fix roads, or boost healthcare? š¤·āāļø We say: celebrate love and family, but also demand equity and solidarity. When private celebration overshadows public welfare, weāve got to speak up. At the end of the day, weddings are personalābut priorities? They should remain public.
