Asia’s richest man, Mukesh Ambani, has been in the news for his son Anant Ambani’s extravagant pre-wedding celebrations. The Ambani family organized a mass wedding for over 50 underprivileged couples as part of the pre-wedding festivities. The celebrations included a 3-day cruise with performances by David Guetta, Katy Perry, and Pitbull. The upcoming wedding of Anant, 29, to Radhika Merchant, 29, is set to take place on July 12, with a grand reception on July 14.
Mukesh Ambani, chairman of Reliance Industries Limited, is known for his massive conglomerate with interests in petrochemicals, telecommunications, and retail, among others. Anant, the groom, holds a bachelor’s degree from Brown University and oversees the family’s renewable energy expansion. Radhika, the bride, is the daughter of a pharmaceutical tycoon and serves as the marketing director for his company.
The wedding festivities are expected to continue with traditional Hindu customs and rituals leading up to the main ceremony.
