The Ambani family, known for their extravagant celebrations, is currently hosting a lavish wedding for their son Anant Ambani in Mumbai. The four-day wedding extravaganza is the culmination of months of festivities that have included performances by international stars like Rihanna and Justin Bieber.
Anant Ambani, the youngest son of Asia’s richest man Mukesh Ambani, is set to tie the knot with Radhika Merchant, daughter of pharma tycoons Viren and Shaila Merchant. The wedding procession, known as the baraat, has already begun, with the groom arriving in a luxurious red car surrounded by joyful guests dancing around it.
International guests like reality TV star Kim Kardashian and former UK PM Tony Blair are in attendance at the ceremony. The main wedding rituals, including the exchange of garlands and the pheras, are scheduled to take place later in the day.
However, the extravagant celebrations have not been without controversy. City residents have complained of traffic snarls and questioned the ostentatious display of wealth at the never-ending festivities. Heavy rains and waterlogging in some parts of the city have added to the chaos.
Despite the backlash, the Ambani family continues to host a grand reception and final celebrations for their household staff in the coming days. Rumors of singer Adele performing at the wedding have surfaced, but the family has not confirmed this.
With high-profile guests like Priyanka Chopra, Nick Jonas, and Bill Gates in attendance, the Ambani wedding has become a star-studded affair. The family has spared no expense, with estimates suggesting they have already spent millions on the extravagant celebrations.
As the wedding festivities continue, the city of Mumbai remains abuzz with excitement and controversy surrounding the opulent affair.
