Ambani wedding’s guests: Hollywood moguls to political figures fill Mumbai

MUMBAI: Billionaire Mukesh Ambani’s son Anant Ambani marries this week in a four-day extravaganza to be attended by a gamut of VIPs from former British prime ministers to celebrities like Kim Kardashian.

The wedding of the billionaire’s youngest son Anant, 29, and his long-time girlfriend Radhika Merchant, 29, is the culmination of lavish celebrations throughout the year and according to police, has been deemed a “public event” due to the presence of international and Indian household names.
