Anant Ambani-Radhika Merchant Wedding: Among India's Priciest Nuptials?
Anant Ambani-Radhika Merchant Wedding: Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant are set to marry today (July 12) at the Jio World Convention Centre in Mumbai. The couple's pre-wedding celebrations included a lavish 3-day event in Jamnagar and an exotic cruise trip. This wedding is one of the most anticipated events of the year, with the Ambanis, among the world's wealthiest families, sparing no expense.
P.S.- Prepare to be amazed by their extravagance!
The wedding festivities for Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant will span three days, beginning today with the 'Shubh Vivaah' or 'auspicious wedding'. From Justin Bieber performing at their Sangeet to Hollywood stars like Kim Kardashian and Khloe Kardashian attending, every aspect of this wedding exudes luxury.
According to ETimes, the total cost of the wedding is estimated to be between Rs 4,000-5,000 crores ($600 million USD approx.). This staggering amount represents just 0.5% of the Ambani family's total net worth. Feeling poor yet?
The Guinness Book of Records notes that the most expensive Indian wedding recorded was for Vanisha Mittal, daughter of steel magnate Lakshmi Niwas Mittal. Her father reportedly spent $55 million on her wedding, which was valued at over Rs 240 crore then and would cost around Rs 500 crore today.
The invitation card for Anant and Radhika's wedding, designed in traditional red and yellow hues, had previously surfaced online. According to the card, they will marry in a traditional Hindu Vedic ceremony. The dress code specified for guests is 'Indian traditional'.
Prominent figures from around the world are expected to attend today. The guest list includes Kim Kardashian-Khloe Kardashian, former UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson, West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee, Shah Rukh Khan and his family, Salman Khan, Ram Charan and his wife Upasana, Priyanka Chopra-Nick Jonas among others.
