There is a wide variety of entertainment on offer at weddings, but DJs remain the most popular and regularly light up receptions with a multi-sensory musical experience.

Tell us about the DJ service Infinitive Music provides?
We are wedding specialists catering for all types of weddings - big or more intimate. We help couples plan the perfect ambience, from helping create the setup and stage design, to delivering entertainment for guests at the event.
How much do you enjoy DJing at weddings?
There is no better feeling than having a packed dance floor with all the guests enjoying the wedding and helping create memories that will last a lifetime.
What do you offer in a wedding set?
We offer a range of packages depending on the budget, venue and requirements from the couple. This includes a full DJ setup, host, a full visual setup and technical crew needed to make sure everything runs smoothly. The top priority is the couple and to make sure they are happy.
What is the secret of a good wedding DJ set?
It is all about playing the right songs at the right time. A big part of that is interacting with the crowd and getting everyone involved.
What advice would you give couples selecting a wedding DJ?
Make sure you believe in them that they have the confidence to perform at your event. Good DJs have loads of experience, so finding out about them should be easy. Do your research and proceed only when you feel fully comfortable that they can deliver.
Tell us how important is it for the DJ to closely work with the couple?
It is very important to make sure the day runs smoothly for both the couple and the DJ, so communication is key. If you don’t have a good communication channel with the DJ, then that should be a warning sign.
What has been the most memorable wedding you have DJed at?
There are too many to name because each wedding will offer a unique memory. The feeling of seeing happiness on the face of a couple about to embark on a lifelong journey together is priceless.
Are there any go-to tracks that never fail at a wedding?
The go-to tracks are what specific audiences will react to and as a DJ you can tell. But Das Ja, tracks by Sharry Maan and Diljit Dosanjh, and old school songs work.
What inspires you as a DJ?
I love to entertain and have a jam-packed dance floor. It feels great when you play a song and it forms an instant connection with the crowd.

Rahul’s casual dismissal of that controversy has added fuel to the fire
Rahul Bhatt sparks controversy over 'insensitive' remarks about sisters Alia and Pooja Bhatt
Rahul Bhatt, fitness trainer and son of veteran filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt, has found himself at the centre of a social media storm following controversial remarks about his half-sister, Alia Bhatt. In a recent interview, Rahul drew comparisons between Alia and their older sister Pooja Bhatt, calling the latter more talented, attractive, and principled.
The comments, which many have labelled inappropriate and insensitive, have sparked widespread criticism online. During the interview, Rahul stated, “In my opinion, she (Alia) is not even half of what my real sister Pooja is. Not in talent, not in looks, not in terms of being sexy. In front of my sister, she is ‘paani kam chai’ (watery tea). Amongst the siblings, the most talented and the most moralistic is Pooja.”
Social media users reacted strongly, questioning why Rahul would compare his sisters in such personal terms. Several users were particularly disturbed by his reference to their appearance and sex appeal, pointing out that such comparisons within a family cross boundaries of propriety. One comment read, “This is disturbing. Why talk about your sisters like that? It’s not just weird, it’s wrong.” Another post said, “There’s nothing respectful about comparing your siblings’ attractiveness in public.”
The backlash also reignited conversation around a decades-old controversy involving Mahesh Bhatt and Pooja Bhatt. Rahul was asked about the infamous 1990s magazine cover where the father-daughter duo shared a kiss, which had stirred public outrage at the time. Dismissing the criticism, Rahul said, “It doesn’t make any difference. It’s like water off a duck’s back. We know the truth, and we’ve seen everything since childhood.”
Rahul’s casual dismissal of that controversy has added fuel to the fire, with critics saying it reflects a broader issue of the Bhatt family being insensitive to public perception and boundaries. Many users questioned the need for bringing up old incidents in a bid to defend new and equally questionable statements.
As of now, neither Alia Bhatt nor Pooja Bhatt has issued any public response to Rahul’s remarks. Both actors, known for their significant contributions to Indian cinema, have typically kept family matters private despite living in the public eye.
This episode has also sparked debate over the role of public figures in maintaining respect when discussing family matters in the media. Observers say such comments, especially when involving women’s appearance and personal qualities, reinforce problematic attitudes and fuel unnecessary controversies.
While Rahul Bhatt is not as prominent in the entertainment industry as his father or sisters, his comments have made headlines and placed the Bhatt family in the spotlight for reasons beyond their creative work. For many, this serves as a reminder that public platforms come with responsibility, and that family ties should not be trivialised or dissected for attention or comparison.
The backlash is unlikely to subside soon, especially as fans and followers of Alia and Pooja continue to express disappointment over the way the situation has unfolded. Whether or not Rahul chooses to clarify or apologise remains to be seen.
