A Wedding of Unmatched Opulence
If reports are to be believed, Ambani spent an astounding amount of 1,259 crore rupees on just the pre-wedding festivities held in Jamnagar in March. The estimated amount of Anant and Radhika’s wedding is around 5,000 to 6,000 crores, oh yeah wait, this amount is only for yesterday’s grand wedding , we haven’t counted the rest of the pre wedding functions and the upcoming two functions in this list. While for most of us this amount seems like some eye popping sum, it only represents 0.5% of Mukesh Ambani’s net worth, yes we are in the same team guys.
Anant and Radhika’s wedding has set a new benchmark for grandeur and opulence. From their Hastakshar ceremony to two different pre wedding functions in Jamnagar and Italy cruise to this dreamy Shaadi week from Mameru to tomorrow’s Mangal Utsav this Shaadi was nothing less than a festive celebration of India. The celebrations will conclude tomorrow, marking the end of a spectacular “Shaadi of the Century” that has captivated audiences worldwide
