MediaFx Opinion
From the people’s perspective, this grand gala shows how wealth towers while public needs lag. It’s great on paper — plenty of jobs, stellar experiences, and those mass weddings were heartwarming. But could just a fraction of that ₹5,000 crore help rebuild schools, fix roads, or boost healthcare? 🤷♂️ We say: celebrate love and family, but also demand equity and solidarity. When private celebration overshadows public welfare, we’ve got to speak up. At the end of the day, weddings are personal—but priorities? They should remain public.
