The Ambani wedding extravaganza, a star-studded affair

India’s richest man Mukesh Ambani’s son, Anant Ambani’s highly-anticipated wedding to pharmaceutical heiress Radhika Merchant concluded yesterday after a seven-month celebration.

All festivities combined cost an estimated $600 million.

The event, held in Mumbai at the Jio World Convention Center, drew a star-studded guest list that is rumored to include India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi, former British prime ministers Tony Blair and Boris Johnson, actor John Cena, Kim and Khloe Kardashian, Nick Jonas, Priyanka Chopra, among several other VIPs.

The Ambani family spared no expense for the wedding, transforming the venue into a homage to Varanasi, showcasing India’s cultural heritage.

But the celebration, spanning multiple continents and featuring an array of high-profile performances by popstars, including Rihanna, has captivated the public’s attention and stirred considerable debate.
