What happened at the Justin Bieber wedding surprise?
A clip shared by a fan page showed Bieber walking into the wedding venue unexpectedly, leaving the bride and her guests visibly thrilled. The video carried the caption: “Justin Bieber surprised a bride for her wedding in Los Angeles, CA.”
For the occasion, the Canadian singer kept his look relaxed in a plain white T-shirt and blue shorts, paired with a bold blue fur jacket. The bride dazzled in a traditional green saree, accessorised with gold jewellery and kaleeras tied to her wrists. The mix of Hollywood cool and Indian tradition clearly gave the ceremony a unique charm.
How did fans react to Justin Bieber at the wedding?
The candid footage of Bieber chatting and taking photos with the bridesmaids quickly drew attention online. Admirers flooded social media with heartfelt comments. One wrote, “He’s the sweetest.” Another said, “She is so lucky – best surprise and wedding gift for her.”
A different fan gushed, “SO CUTEEE OMGGG she’s so lucky! @lilbieber I don’t even have a man but come to my wedding pls.” Some even joked that they would have cried if they were in the bride’s place. While many praised his kindness, a few questioned his unusual choice of outfit for the occasion.
Has Justin Bieber attended Indian weddings before?
This is not the first time Bieber has been part of an Indian wedding celebration. In 2024, he performed at the sangeet of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant in Mumbai. The high-profile event also saw international stars Rihanna and Katy Perry perform.
The Los Angeles appearance, though far more casual, showcased a more spontaneous side of the pop star and delighted fans who are used to seeing him only on global stages.
Beyond weddings, Bieber recently made headlines for his return to music. On 11 July 2025, he dropped his seventh studio album Swag without prior notice. The album features collaborations with artists including Gunna, Druski, Dijon, Lil B, Sexyy Red, Cash Cobain, Eddie Benjamin, and gospel legend Marvin Winans.
The unexpected release has been widely discussed among music followers, with fans praising the fresh sound and diverse guest appearances. The wedding surprise, combined with the album’s release, signals a busy and memorable phase for the star.
Ranveer Singh’s rugged new look anchors the high-energy music video.
Rapper Hanumankind makes his official Bollywood début with a fierce verse.
Modern take on the classic Punjabi folk tune 'Jogi'.
Glimpses of Sanjay Dutt and Arjun Rampal in the mix.
The full trailer lands next month.
The Dhurandhar title track just hit the internet, and the noise around this spy thriller just went up a few notches. This is the track that pulls rapper Hanumankind into his first proper Bollywood playback moment. They have taken the old folk number 'Jogi' and built a power-packed version around it, a mix of earthy roots and straight-up aggressive energy that hits like a truck. It fits, honestly. It mirrors the film's whole gritty vibe and Ranveer Singh's battle-hardened look with that wild beard.

What is the Dhurandhar title track about?
You get a proper blast of the film’s atmosphere from this track. The music video cuts fast between shots of a heavily bearded and muscular Ranveer Singh, looking every bit the part of a hardened operative. The video cuts to the other big names in the cast as well. Sanjay Dutt, Arjun Rampal are all there in what appears to be a tense, dark situation. The music includes traditional Punjabi folk with a stronger, cinematic rhythm.
How did Hanumankind get involved in the Dhurandhar song?
It turns out his involvement was a pretty organic, almost spontaneous thing. Music composer Shashwat Sachdev opened up about how the rap section came together. Apparently, it happened during a late-night studio session with director Aditya Dhar and Hanumankind himself. They captured an impromptu performance that just clicked, bringing what Sachdev called a "raw, instinctive fire" to the whole track. For an artist known for his independent work, this Dhurandhar feature is a major step into the mainstream film scene.
All this build-up is heading towards a definite date. The makers confirmed it right at the end of the title track video. Dhurandhar is locked in for a worldwide theatrical release on 5 December of this year. For those who need more than a song to tide them over, the official trailer is promised for 12 November.
