Renowned storyteller Indresh Upadhyay recently married in an elaborate ceremony held at the Taj Amer hotel in Jaipur. The wedding drew attention not just for its grandeur and spiritual ambiance, but also because of growing curiosity around his bride, Shipra. While the celebrations moved smoothly and guests hailed the union, social media exploded with questions: Who really is Shipra? Where is she from? And what is her original surname?
As these questions swirl, people across various religious communities have started discussing the matter, turning a happy union into a subject of widespread discussion and speculation.
Who is Shipra, the Wife of Indresh Upadhyay?
According to family and close circles, Shipra comes from Haryana. Her father reportedly served in the Haryana Police as a DSP. After his retirement, the family moved to Amritsar. Family members claim that the couple’s shared spiritual interests and values brought them together. The wedding was blessed by saints and spiritual leaders, giving it a religious and serene touch.
Shipra Bawa or Shipra Sharma?
However, on social media, some posts refer to Shipra with the surname “Bawa,” which is more common in Punjab. Other posts even claim her surname is “Sharma.” These conflicting claims have fired up speculation about her roots. Some people argue she must be Punjabi if she goes by “Bawa,” while others insist she is from Haryana, as family sources say.
As of now, there is no official confirmation from the family or from official records about her exact surname. But these varying assertions keep surfacing online — and the debate shows no sign of dying down.
Did Shipra get Married Twice?
On Reddit, several users are sharing unverified claims about Indresh Upadhyay’s wife, alleging that her real name is Shipra Bawa and not Sharma. Some posts also claim that she was previously married twice.
These rumours have led to heated discussions online, with many users commenting that even popular kathavachaks are becoming targets of misinformation and deceptive narratives.
However, none of these claims have been confirmed by the family, and the discussions continue to spread without any official clarity.

Grand Wedding of Indresh Upadhyay, Traditional Rituals and Viral Celebrations
The wedding was not a simple affair. Before the main ceremony, traditional rituals, haldi, mehendi, and music took place at Indresh Upadhyay’s ashram in Vrindavan. Devotees, family members, and followers all participated enthusiastically. The ashram’s spiritual atmosphere, decorated halls, and devotional chants created a deeply religious setting.
The wedding procession — with the groom dressed in a white sherwani, a majestic turban, and holding a silver staff — resembled a royal entry. Elephants and horses accompanied the procession. Many guests compared the visuals to a film set. Photos and videos of the ceremony quickly spread over social media, with people praising the couple’s festive vibes and spiritual aura.
Why People Are So Curious About Shipra’s Name
A public wedding of a popular storyteller naturally draws attention. But the intense speculation around Shipra’s surname has a deeper layer. For many, surnames relate to regional identity, caste, or community background. Since narratives about Hindu spirituality and cultural identity hold significance for many followers, any ambiguity around such personal details draws sharp interest.
Some view the different surname claims as a small matter of confusion. Others treat it like a mystery — someone to decode. The lack of a clear response from the bride’s family adds fuel to the speculation. In a way, the curiosity reflects larger social concerns about identity, community, and transparency.
Family Response or Quiet Closure?
As of now, the family has not responded officially to the conflicting claims about Shipra’s surname. Many expect a statement soon to clear the confusion. Others believe the topic will fade away quietly over time.
In the meantime, the wedding remains a subject of admiration — for its devotional songs, traditional rituals, royal-style procession, and spiritual energy. But it also offers a reminder: public attention often follows personal details. And in today’s connected world, even a simple surname can become a matter of public debate.
