Five hundred delectable dishes, over a thousand esteemed guests, and a budget that whispers millions – this epitomizes the grandeur surrounding the impending union of the scion of Asia’s wealthiest magnate.
Anant Ambani, accompanied by his betrothed Radhika Merchant, hosted a three-day extravaganza that witnessed a convergence of Bollywood luminaries, tech moguls, sports icons, and even the presence of Ivanka Trump, daughter of the former U.S. President.
The spectacle has ensnared the imagination of audiences both domestically and internationally, eagerly devouring every morsel of information emanating from the opulent affair orchestrated by his father, Mukesh Ambani, in the city of Jamnagar, Gujarat, over the preceding weekend.
So monumental was the occasion that the local airport was temporarily bestowed with international status to accommodate visitors from far and wide. Airport authorities disclosed the arrival of nearly 130 flights, ferrying luminaries such as Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg to the locale.
A majority of the guests luxuriated in plush “glamping” tents erected near the venue, offering a level of opulence that transcended the ordinary – boasting an array of over 500 gastronomic delights crafted by an ensemble of chefs hailing from diverse corners of the globe.
Moreover, the event boasted a retinue of hairstylists, makeup artists, laundry services, and stylists on standby to cater to the needs of attendees, ensuring they were impeccably groomed for the themed soirées meticulously outlined in a nine-page itinerary.
The zenith of the festivities was undoubtedly the maiden performance in India by pop luminary Rihanna, for which speculations abound regarding her remuneration, rumored to be in the vicinity of $7 million (£5.5 million). The veracity of this figure, however, remains unconfirmed by the BBC.
Eminent figures from India’s film fraternity also graced the stage, swaying to the rhythm of Rihanna’s chart-topping hits.
Rihanna and Other Celebrities Grace India for Ambani’s Gala Guests were treated to a visit to Anant Ambani’s passion project – a sprawling 3,000-acre sanctuary serving as a haven for myriad fauna.
Yet amidst the revelry, the altruistic endeavors of Mukesh Ambani, with an estimated net worth of $115 billion according to Forbes, also came to the fore, with reports indicating the construction of 14 new temples in the city.
All eyes are now poised on the forthcoming wedding, slated to transpire in Mumbai come July.
