Anant Ambani, the youngest son of Reliance Industries chairman Mukesh Ambani, recently tied the knot in a lavish ceremony attended by numerous celebrities and dignitaries. The extravagant wedding took place at the Ambani family's luxurious residence in Mumbai, showcasing opulent decorations and entertainment that reflected the family's immense wealth and status.
The event garnered significant media attention due to its grandeur and the high-profile guests in attendance. Celebrities from Bollywood, sports, and politics were seen at the ceremony, adding to the glitz and glamour of the occasion. The Ambani family is known for their extravagant celebrations, setting a standard for luxurious weddings in India.
Priyanka Chopra and former British prime ministers Tony Blair and Boris Johnson were just some of the famous faces who flew in to Mumbai to attend the star-studded event. The wedding also attracted many of the biggest names in Indian entertainment, sport, business and politics, from Bollywood stars like Rajinikanth and Sanjay Dutt, to former president Ram Nath Kovind, the chief ministers of various states and numerous members of the country’s revered cricket team.
No expense was spared by the Ambanis, the family behind India’s largest private corporation, Reliance Industries. Founded by Anant’s grandfather, the conglomerate is now run by his father Mukesh, who is worth over $122 billion, according to Forbes.
Key roads in Mumbai are being sealed off for several hours a day until the festivities end on Monday.
Social media is awash with updates on the wedding, with people sharing minute-by-minute details of Bollywood stars and celebrities arriving.
But the extraordinary opulence has also led to backlash - city dwellers have complained the road closures have worsened traffic snarls caused by monsoon flooding, while others have questioned the ostentatious display of wealth at the seemingly never-ending celebrations.

In May, the family then chartered a cruise ship to take guests on a four-day trip around the Mediterranean. The schedule included multiple stops through Europe and on-deck concerts from the Backstreet Boys and Pitbull, among others.
Anant’s older sister, Isha, also held a lavish wedding in 2018. Her marriage to businessman Anand Piramal was watched by celebrities, politicians and business tycoons, while her pre-wedding bash featured an intimate private concert by Beyoncé.
