Can Brides, Grooms and victims of the guest list survive?
Marriage in India isn't a decision - it's a lifelong group project.
And Ananya Khan never signed up.
A sarcastic, painfully relatable journey through childhood conditioning, family expectations, and the slow realization that your life choices are considered community property.
From report cards being evaluated for "marriage potential" to adulthood where independence exists only on paper, this story isn't about a wedding - it's about everything that happens before you're allowed to have one.
Told with humor, honesty, and just enough existential dread, The Great Indian Wedding Circus is a story for the guests and the almost-married generation navigating love, tradition, and unsolicited opinions - all while smiling politely.
Perfect for anyone who has ever been told,
"Beta, we're only thinking about your future."
