The youngest son of Asia's richest man, Mukesh Ambani, recently married his longtime girlfriend in a spectacular ceremony attended by global celebrities, politicians, and business moguls. The celebrations, held at the Ambani-owned Jio World Convention Centre in Mumbai, included an exchange of garlands, traditional Hindu rituals, and performances by pop stars like Rihanna and Justin Bieber. The event was graced by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and a star-studded guest list that included international figures like Tony Blair, celebrities Nick Jonas and Kim Kardashian, as well as Indian icons from Bollywood and cricket. Despite the grandiosity of the affair, it has sparked controversy over rising inequality in India and angered some Mumbai residents due to traffic disruptions. The Ambani family's extravagant displays of wealth have drawn both admiration and criticism, showcasing their immense influence and power.
