I¡¯d call it building an empire using matchsticks but the sad part; most do buy into this perception game.The shaadi circuit pays enough to afford these buyouts with their ¡®status¡¯ oriented,¡¯live?¡¯music choices...Actors, first to get on to this & of course the Punjabi ¡®artists¡¯.?? pic.twitter.com/57PCHTfkNs
