A Wedding Puts India's Gilded Age on Lavish Display
Lavish Mumbai Wedding Celebrates Union of Two Billionaire Heirs
From Engagement Party to Justin Bieber Performance, Celebrations Showcase India's Wealth
From a star-studded engagement party to a Justin Bieber performance, India's "wedding of the year" has seen a succession of lavish celebrations. The wedding of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant, two heirs to billionaire family fortunes, is set to take place this weekend in Mumbai, with a weekend-long extravaganza at the Ambani-owned Jio World Convention Centre and the family home.
The lavishness of the wedding has drawn attention to India's growing wealth inequality, with many Indians cheering the rise of moguls like Mukesh Ambani, whose son's wedding is seen as a symbol of the country's economic progress. However, others have criticized the excessive spending, arguing that it highlights the vast gap between the rich and the poor in India.
The wedding is expected to be a star-studded affair, with celebrities and politicians from around the world in attendance. The festivities will include a traditional Indian ceremony, a cocktail party, and a reception with live music. Bieber is set to perform at the reception, which is expected to be one of the most exclusive events of the year.
The wedding of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant is set to take place from July 12 to 14 at the home of Anant's parents, Mukesh and Nita Ambani, a 27-story residence called Antilia.
