Anant Ambani, heir to India's richest man Mukesh Ambani, married pharmaceutical heiress Radhika Merchant in a grand ceremony in Mumbai. The extravagant wedding, which followed seven months of pre-celebrations, attracted a guest list featuring global stars such as Kim and Khloé Kardashian, Priyanka Chopra, Nick Jonas, and former British prime ministers Tony Blair and Boris Johnson.
The event, held at the Jio World Convention Center, showcased luxury at every turn, from custom outfits by top Indian designers to high-profile performances, including a special appearance by Justin Bieber. Anant, dressed in a golden sherwani, and Radhika, wearing a couture red-and-ivory bridal ensemble, dazzled in a ceremony attended by thousands.
With celebrations set to continue through the weekend, the Ambanis’ wedding has been described as one of the most extravagant in India’s history, with a reported cost in the hundreds of millions. While some locals viewed the spectacle as excessive, others appreciated the economic boost it brought to Mumbai's businesses. The festivities capped off a year-long series of events, including a Mediterranean cruise for guests, making it one of India’s weddings of the year.
