The Ambani wedding, a three-day extravaganza filled with star-studded events in Mumbai, has taken the world by storm. Mukesh Ambani's son, Anati Ambani, married Radhika Merchant in a ceremony that has raised eyebrows for its extreme opulence amidst India's poverty. The wedding, estimated to cost between $132 million to $156 million, featured appearances by the likes of Kim Kardashian, Tony Blair, and Jasprit Bumrah. The stunning event was just one in a series of lavish celebrations, including a cruise with performances by Rihanna, Pitbull, and Justin Bieber. With traditional Hindu rituals like the haldi and pheras, the couple tied the knot in front of a crowd that included John Cena, Nick Jonas, and the Kardashians. As the festivities wind down, the couple will seek blessings in the shubh ashirwad ceremony before hosting a grand reception at their $2 billion Mumbai residence.
