From President, PM to Salman Khan: Chautala grandson has all on his wedding invite list

The younger brother of Haryana Deputy Chief Minister Dushyant Chautala, Digvijay is the grandson of the state’s former chief minister Om Prakash Chautala and son of Om Prakash’s elder son Ajay Chautala.

Lagan hails from a political family herself. She is the granddaughter of former Congress MLA from Majithia, Sawinder Singh Kathunangal. While the family was earlier affiliated with SAD, they switched allegiance to the Congress. Sources said the family has a “well-established real-estate business and developed colonies in and around Amritsar”.

Digvijay and Lagan got engaged in January this year.

According to close aides of the Chautala family, the major functions — Bhaat, Tel Chadhana, lunch, etc — will be held in Sirsa on March 10. The ring ceremony will be held on March 12-13 along with a Sufi night. On these two days, the family will host their family and friends at their farmhouse in New Delhi.

The wedding function will be held in New Delhi and Manesar. The Chautala family has sent out invitations for the wedding functions to Prime Minister Narendra Modi besides various Union ministers, governors, chief ministers of various states, sportspersons, Hollywood and Bollywood actors and singers.

The reception is slated to be held in New Delhi on March 23 and, apart from Modi, it is expected to be attended by President Droupadi Murmu, Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar and Union Home Minister Amit Shah besides several other Union ministers and political leaders.

Among the Bollywood celebrities who have been invited for the wedding functions are Salman Khan, Sanjay Dutt, Randeep Hooda, Kailash Kher, A P Dhillon, Guru Randhawa and Honey Singh. Over the past few days, Digvijay is said to have met various Bollywood celebrities, including Khan and Kher, and invited them for his wedding.

The pre-wedding functions will begin from March 10 in Sirsa where the Chautala family is hosting a grand lunch for party workers and panchayat members from Haryana. At Sirsa’s GTM Ground, where the function will be held, water-proof tents have been pitched in an area measuring over 16 acres. The family’s close aides said they are “expecting thousands of people to attend the pre-wedding events”, including at least 4,000 VIPs.

Party sources told The Indian Express that besides all current MLAs of Haryana, invitations have been sent out to former ministers and MLAs who have been elected since 2014.
