With a performance by Rihanna, instructions to dress in “jungle fever” gear when visiting an animal rescue center, and charter planes for celebrities and tycoons, billionaire Mukesh Ambani is kicking off a lavish Indian wedding party for his son.
Ambani, who leads the Indian conglomerate Reliance and is reportedly the wealthiest man in Asia with a net worth of $114 billion, is renowned for never reducing corners.
A three-day pre-wedding celebration for his youngest son Anant Ambani, 28, who is being married to his longtime fiancée, Radhika Merchant, 29, is the reason behind the moment that has India enthralled. It takes place at a township in Jamnagar, next to Reliance’s main oil refinery in the western state of Gujarat, and starts on Friday. It is expected to host 1,200 people.
The actual wedding is not scheduled for July, but the celebrations began de facto on Wednesday night when Anant and his future wife fed 51,000 people in a community feast.
Pop and R&B sensation Rihanna will perform alongside American magician David Blaine. Traditional ceremonies will also take place at a complex of temples.
