What to know about the wedding of Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez
Written by Jesse McKinley and Emma Bubola It may be the best semi-secret wedding money can buy. Next week, Jeff Bezos, the founder of Amazon and one of the world's richest men, is set to marry Lauren Sánchez, a former TV reporter. Their ceremony promises to be among the most closely watched, and closely held, in recent memory. Beyond its general locale — Venice, Italy, where some locals are already upset about the event — little is known about the couple's impending nuptials, following what has been about six years of public courtship. It's a period that includes Bezos' evolution from being known as the owner of The Washington Post, one of the nation's most prominent newspapers, to being known as a friend of a president notorious for his attacks on the press. At the same time, Sánchez has transitioned from being a news anchor in Los Angeles and a notable figure in the social scene to becoming a celebrity in her own right — taking a short spaceflight with Katy Perry aboard a rocket bankrolled by her fiance and having a bachelorette party attended by the Kardashians. Bezos, 61, proposed to Sánchez, 55, on his yacht, Koru, docked near the Cannes Film Festival in May 2023, according to an interview in Vogue, hiding the pink diamond ring under her pillow. 'When Jeff opened the box,' Sánchez recalled. 'I think I blacked out a bit.' Yet, for all of that publicity, the actual wedding plans have remained exceedingly secret, with security concerns and possible protests, though rumors abound about the guest list, the locale, and — naturally — the prenuptial agreement. Here's what we know. Needless to say, it's a destination wedding, and it seems likely to occur between June 26 and 28. According to unconfirmed reports in Italian newspapers, the locations for festivities may include a pagoda on Venice's Lido beach, where the Venice Film Festival is held; the island of San Giorgio, which faces the Doge palace; and the Scuola Grande della Misericordia, a lovingly restored Renaissance building, which exudes status-symbol wedding vibes: soaring ceilings, an indoor colonnade, plenty of plinths. But Bezos and his camp have been mum about venues — and pretty much everything else. Wherever Sánchez and Bezos say their 'I do's,' it won't be at City Hall, unlike George Clooney and Amal Alamuddin, who got married there in 2014, according to city officials. Italy has a variety of rules surrounding marriage rites, which can involve religious ceremonies, often performed in Roman Catholic churches. The Sánchez-Bezos wedding, however, will be nondenominational, likely of a ceremonial nature. Secrecy surrounding the event extends to the guest list, though approximately 200 guests are expected. Many of those will be close friends and family — the couple have seven children, combined, from previous marriages and relationships — with a dappling of celebrities, tech moguls and political figures. President Donald Trump is not attending, though his daughter Ivanka is likely to be there, with her husband, Jared Kushner. The list is believed to be packed with A-listers, including Oprah Winfrey, Mick Jagger, Jay-Z & Beyoncé, Eva Longoria, Gayle King and Jewel. Barry Diller and his wife, Diane von Furstenberg, who have a home in Venice, may also attend. If the bachelorette party — held in Paris in May — was any indication, Perry and Kim Kardashian likely will be on the guest list, as could Kris Jenner. Well, certainly more than your average Amazon purchase, but perhaps not on the level of last year's Anant Ambani-Radhika Merchant wedding in Mumbai. Still, numerous tabloid reports have estimated the cost to reach multiple millions. Perhaps aware of local concerns regarding the potential ostentation of the wedding, Lanza & Baucina, which is organizing the wedding, expressed their intention to minimize 'any disruption to the city' and its residents, while also employing locals to craft the events. They added that Bezos and Sánchez have supported 'the city and its all-important lagoon through nonprofit organizations and associated projects.' Venice and its canals attract large crowds, especially in the summer, prompting city officials to impose a small fee for visitors during peak periods and limit tour group sizes. But the protests over the Bezos wedding also seem to be dovetailing with a larger movement in some popular European locations against 'overtourism,' with protests in places like Barcelona, Spain; Mallorca; and Lisbon, Portugal. In Venice, the 'No Space for Bezos' movement is promising more protests, with talk of blocking canals and other anti-nuptial mischief. There is likely to be a crush of paparazzi and other amateur stargazers. One point of reference is the 2014 Clooney-Alamuddin event, where celebrity news and morning shows decamped to Venice and photographers pursued the couple. (That couple seemed remarkably at ease, answering shouted questions from reporters and acknowledging screaming fans.) How Sánchez and Bezos greet and are greeted by the public remains to be seen, though they could have a handy escape if they want to avoid any unwanted attention: according to boat tracking site Marine Traffic, Koru is already bobbing in the Adriatic Sea, along with Bezos' 'support ship,' the Abeona, a 250-foot-long dinghy complete with a helicopter pad. (Sánchez is a pilot.) But unlike other big boats, and big names, Koru appears not to be headed to the wedding.

Fatima Sana Shaikh On Sexual Misconduct In Bollywood: ‘Things Have Changed After Me Too'
Last Updated: Fatima Sana Shaikh opens up about sexual misconduct, blurred lines of intimacy and power, and the impact of the Me Too movement in Bollywood. Fatima Sana Shaikh, known for her powerful performances in films like Dangal, Ludo, Thugs of Hindostan, and Sam Bahadur, recently opened up about the casting couch, sexual misconduct, and shifting power dynamics in Bollywood. Speaking to Humans of Bombay, the actress shared how the post-Me Too landscape has brought about change—but also how much further the industry still needs to go. When asked why she's among the few Bollywood stars to speak openly about these issues, Fatima acknowledged that the culture has started to shift in the right direction. 'I think things have changed. People are much more accountable. They are a little more fearful," she said. She highlighted that many film sets today have mechanisms in place to deal with misconduct. 'There is a conversation. There is an investigation… it exists in every industry," she added, pointing out that complaints are taken more seriously than before. Delving deeper into the nuanced reality of misconduct, Fatima shed light on the grey areas that often go unnoticed, especially when personal and professional boundaries blur. 'You are working with someone, you have become intimate. But then you don't understand, the lines are blurred. Then there is the dynamic of the power," she explained. She also touched on how accountability is now a part of the equation. 'Because it is a male-dominant industry. And now, after Me Too, women can talk about it… You will be held accountable," she said. Addressing her personal experience, Fatima clarified that while she has faced uncomfortable situations, she has never been a victim of outright sexual misconduct within Bollywood. 'It's not like the industry is bad. Any incident that has happened, it's just been this one little, small-time somebody and some conversation," she remarked. Fatima also drew attention to the fact that such issues are not limited to the entertainment industry. In fact, she believes they may be worse in the corporate world. 'Corporate is life when you are together. So there, it's even more rampant… and even more toxic," she stated. She praised OTT platforms like Amazon and Netflix for enforcing strict guidelines to protect cast and crew. 'Somebody will come from this agency… you will have a meeting with the cast, crew, and all the HODs. You will be told what your rights are, what is appropriate, what is not," Fatima explained, referring to the PoSH (Prevention of Sexual Harassment) sessions that are now mandatory during shoots. In closing, Fatima said she sees hope in the steps being taken to ensure accountability across industries. 'People are being held accountable for their actions — not only in our industry, but in corporate and beyond. And that is what progress looks like," she concluded. First Published:

Abhishek Kumar, Rinku Dhawan, Falaq Naaz At Munawar Faruqui's First Copy Premiere
Last Updated: Munawar Faruqui debuts in Amazon's First Copy, set in the 1990s tackling movie piracy. Bigg Boss stars reunite, with Munawar and Abhishek's bond stealing the show. Munawar Faruqui finally made his OTT debut in the Amazon series First Copy. The show takes viewers back to the 1990s when people loved watching movies, but piracy was a big problem. Recently, the team came together for a special screening, where Munawar was seen welcoming the guests. Bigg Boss fans got an exciting surprise during the event when some former contestants, including Abhishek Kumar, Rinku Dhawan and Falaq Naaz, reunited on the red carpet. Among all the moments, the friendly connection between Munawar and Abhishek stood out the most and received loud cheers from the photographers. At first, Abhishek Kumar was seen posing with Rinku at the event. But when he noticed Falaq standing nearby, he quickly called her to join them. The three then smiled and posed together for the cameras. After a few clicks, the photographers requested Abhishek to pose alone and he agreed. Soon after, he called Munawar, the main star of the evening, to join him. The two posed side by side, and the comedian stood out in his stylish green blazer and matching pants. View this post on Instagram A post shared by (@tellychakkar) While appearing on Siddharth Kannan's show, earlier this month, Abhishek Kuma spoke about his bond with Munawar Faruqui and said, 'Your soul gets happy meeting him, it's that kind of bond, at least from my side. I don't know what it is from his side, but he always calls me, so obviously there must be something. From my side, the bond has grown stronger. Whenever I see him or meet him, I feel very happy. It feels nice to meet him. Bigg Boss turned out well for both of us. He won and I was the runner up." When the host joked about them being sharp when it came to girls, Abhishek laughed and shared, that Munawar gets a lot of attention from girls, while he doesn't. He also added that sometimes a certain image gets created in Bigg Boss and they can't do much about it. As per the official synopsis, First Copy follows 'Arif, a spirited young man whose magnetic charm and street-smart instinct lead him to a world where film dreams are copied, consumed, and capitalised. As ambitions grow, so do the emotional costs. First Copy is set against a cultural landscape that reflects real issues of accessibility, nostalgia, and the value of original creation. In an age where digital consumption is reshaping entertainment, the series offers a reflection on why supporting legal, creator-first content matters more than ever." Other than Munawar Faruqui, the series also stars Krystle D'Souza, Gulshan Grover, Saqib Ayub, Ashi Singh, Meiyang Chang, Inam Ul Haq and Raza Murad. First Published:
