Ever since he made history as the youngest world champion, D Gukesh has been in the spotlight everywhere he goes. Recently, he was spotted at Vidit Gujrathi’s wedding, where he impressed everyone with his amazing dance skills.

Gujrathi, another Grandmaster, tied the knot with Nidhi Kataria on April 2, and the event attracted several notable guests, including Gukesh, Viswanathan Anand, and Dutch Grandmaster Anish Giri.

In a fun twist, Anand also hit the dance floor and joined Vidit on stage for some lively moves.

The 18-year-old is currently ranked World No. 3 and is India's top player. Recently, he shared some insights about the challenges his parents faced while supporting his journey to becoming a Grandmaster. “I recall how my parents’ friends helped fund my participation in tournaments overseas. It was tough back then, and we received a lot of support from incredibly kind and selfless individuals. Fortunately, the past year has been financially rewarding for us,” he mentioned.

“It really means a lot to me that my parents no longer have to worry about money. We can enjoy a comfortable lifestyle now, unlike before.”

On another note, Gukesh had a rough time at the Freestyle Chess Grand Slam in Weissenhaus but is gearing up for the upcoming event in Paris. Reflecting on his performance in Freestyle Chess, he said, “I don’t dwell on it too much. Freestyle is thrilling, and I enjoy playing it. However, it’s too soon to determine its direction. We’ve only had two serious freestyle tournaments so far.”

“I hope freestyle gains popularity, but I don’t think it will replace traditional chess. The history and legacy of classical chess give it a unique significance. The World Championship cycle remains the most important aspect for now. Freestyle is a fantastic complement to classical, rapid, and blitz formats. We’ll just have to see how it evolves. I’m open to all possibilities,” he added.

Gukesh also performed well at the Tata Masters in Wijk aan Zee, finishing in second place after losing to R Praggnanandhaa in the tie-breaker. He will be competing alongside Praggnanandhaa and Arjun Erigaisi at the Paris Grand Slam event.
