SAEDNEWS: Asia’s richest man is throwing a wedding for his son — and it feels like everyone is either invited or following the spectacle on social media.
Anant Ambani, 29, married Radhika Merchant, 29, over the weekend in Mumbai.
But the wedding feels like it has been going on for much longer — and the guest list seems to have attracted as much attention as the couple themselves — with pop stars, politicians, tech tycoons and Bollywood stars setting social media abuzz with their attendance.
That’s because Anant’s father is Mukesh Ambani — the ninth richest man in the world and the richest man in Asia, according to Forbes’s 2024 list — and because the pre-wedding celebrations kicked off in March, with Rihanna and more recently Justin Bieber among those performing for the couple.
Here’s what to know about the much-hyped wedding — which is being seen as a celebrity and commercial event as well as a romantic one — that’s been hailed in the Indian press as “spectacular” but also been criticized as “vulgar” and sparked discussion about inequality in India.
