'''''Mere Yaar Ki Shaadi Hai''''' ({{trans|''It's My Friend's Wedding''}}) is a 2002 Indian [[Hindi]]-language [[romantic comedy]] directed by [[Sanjay Gadhvi]] and produced by [[Yash Chopra]] and [[Aditya Chopra]] under the banner [[Yash Raj Films]]. The film starred [[Uday Chopra]], [[Tulip Joshi]] (in her debut), [[Jimmy Sheirgill]] and [[Bipasha Basu]].
