Despite receiving invitations to some of the events, she declined, attributing the invitations to PR motives.

“I value my self-respect too much to participate in someone’s extravagant wedding,”

Aaliyah wrote this, explaining her disinterest in engaging in the lavish affair.

The Canadian pop star, reportedly charging a staggering Rs 84 crore, performed his chart-topping hits to the delight of the attendees.

A screenshot of her chat is going viral on microblogging platform X, have a look

An X user shared one screenshot of Aaliyah’s chat. He captioned it as we quote,

“Aliyah Kashyap (Anurag Kashyap’s daughter) talks about the PR involved in the Ambani wedding on her Instagram channel. Influencers are being invited to promote wedding.

Although this is hard to digest. They don’t need the PR thing to promote the wedding + it also takes away the exclusivity factor involved that makes it all desirable.

If this is being done I would call it big PR blunder.”
