Billionaire’s Son Hosts Extravagant Pre-Wedding Bash with High-Profile Guests in India
High-profile figures from across the globe, including Mark Zuckerberg, Bill Gates, and Ivanka Trump, gathered in India for the opulent pre-wedding celebrations of billionaire heir Anant Ambani.
The three-day lavish event featured mesmerizing performances by Rihanna and magician David Blaine, hosting around 1,200 guests from Silicon Valley, Bollywood, and beyond. Celebrities like cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar and actor Shah Rukh Khan were among the notable attendees caught on camera.
Anant Ambani, the youngest son of Asia’s wealthiest individual, Mukesh Ambani, who boasts a fortune of $117 billion, is set to tie the knot with his girlfriend Radhika Merchant in July. The 28-year-old holds a directorial position at Reliance, the Indian conglomerate founded by his grandfather.
Despite the wedding being scheduled for July, no expenses were spared at the extravagant pre-wedding bash. A document revealed that guests were treated to 500 gourmet dishes prepared by a team of around 100 chefs.
The extravagant celebrations took place in Jamnagar, Gujarat, in proximity to Reliance’s primary oil refinery. The city’s airport, normally catering to fewer than 10 flights a day, experienced a sudden surge in activity as approximately 130 flights arrived for the festivities.
Chartered jets from major cities like New Delhi and Mumbai were arranged for guests alongside services such as hairstylists, makeup artists, and event drapers. The event also had a philanthropic touch, with visually impaired artisans crafting candles for the attendees.
The Reliance Foundation, the charitable arm of the Ambani family’s business, shared that weavers were working on a special Hindu temple complex constructed exclusively for the wedding, which will later be accessible to the public.
During the celebrations, the family hosted a communal dinner for over 50,000 villagers as a gesture of inclusivity and community engagement.
