Mukesh Ambani’s youngest son, Anant, is set to marry his girlfriend Radhika Merchant in what is being hailed as the most anticipated and luxurious wedding in the world. The extravagant pre-wedding celebrations have been a display of opulence and lasted over four months.
The pre-wedding festivities began in March with a fiesta attended by 1,200 guests including billionaires like Mark Zuckerberg, Bill Gates, Sunder Pichai, and Ivanka Trump. The couple hired Rihanna to perform and featured a light show with 5,500 drones. Guests wore jungle-themed clothing to visit an animal rescue center run by Anant, which houses abused, injured, and endangered animals.
An army of Indian hairdressers, makeup artists, and clothing designers were hired to help guests get ready for the celebrations. They were offered 500 different dishes prepared by 100 chefs. Additionally, a community feeding service was organized for 51,000 people living in villages near Jamnagar.
