However, after the validity of this video was verified, it was discovered that it is from Jamnagar, but the vocalist in it is not Taylor Swift. She is Ashley Leachin, also known as Taylor Swift's lookalike (doppelganger). Ashley performs like Taylor Swift across the world. The wedding was not of the Ambani family, but of Ahana Raheja and Yash Patel, members of a Gujarat-based business family.
