Bigshots attended Anant Ambani’s Pre Wedding Ceremony.
Many influential personalities and luminaries from around the world have arrived in Gujarat, India. The stalwarts are present for the pre-wedding party of Anant Ambani, the son of Asia’s richest man Mukesh Ambani.
Reliance Industries Chairman Mukesh Ambani has organized a pre-wedding gala on the occasion of Anant Ambani’s marriage. Among the invited guests are Mark Zuckerberg, Rihanna and Bill Gates.
Anant Ambani is going to get married to Radhika Merchant in the month of July.
Bollywood celebrities like Shah Rukh Khan and Amitabh Bachchan are also included for this special three-day event organized in Jamnagar, Gujarat on the occasion.
Mukesh Ambani is the 10th richest person in the world. According to the list of Forbes, his total wealth is 115 billion dollars.
Reliance is a large conglomerate founded in 1966 by Mukesh Ambani’s father. Their business is spread across important sectors like telecom along with refineries, retail and financial services.
Anant Ambani is the youngest of three children of Mukesh Ambani. All three of his children are on the board of directors of Reliance. 28-year-old Anant Ambani is associated with the business of Reliance Energy and is also on the board of Reliance Foundation.
The Ambani family has maintained the tradition of organizing grand wedding parties through this pre-wedding event.
In 2018, pop star Beyonce performed in a similar ceremony held in Udaipur before the wedding ceremony of Ambani’s daughter Isha Ambani. Former US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and John Kerry were among the guests present at the event.
At that time, Bloomberg, citing sources, claimed that 10 crore dollars were spent on Isha Ambani’s wedding ceremony. But a close relative of the Ambani family denied this claim. He had said that this cost was around one and a half million dollars.
The events started earlier this week in Jamnagar, where locals were treated to a feast, on the occasion of Anant Ambani’s wedding.
The pre-wedding party is taking place in a township near Reliance’s main oil refinery in Jamnagar. Around 1200 guests will attend the party. 100 chefs from around the world will be preparing 500 dishes for the guests at this event.
According to Reuters, guests will also include Indian billionaires Gautam Adani and Kumar Mangalam Birla. At the same time, Disney CEO Bob Iger is likely to come to the party. Disney’s India business has recently merged with Reliance.
At the same time, META chief Mark Zuckerberg, who is on a trip to Asia, reached Jamnagar on Thursday. Also, Bill Gates recently posted a video with a tea party which went viral.
A few more celebrities were spotted on Friday, including cricketer Mahendra Singh Dhoni, Dwayne Bravo and BP CEO Murray Auchincloss.
Also, Blackrock co-founder Larry Fink, Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai, former Prime Minister of Canada Stephen Harper, former Prime Minister of Australia Kevin Rudd and Ivanka Trump are also likely to attend the ceremony.
“In 2018 and 2019, both of Mukesh Ambani’s elder sons got married. But in comparison, maximum VVIPs from the global corporate sector can stay this time.
It clearly shows Reliance’s growing influence as a major player in the Indian economy vis-à-vis global technology, media and energy giants,” Bloomberg also wrote.
Entertainment will include a performance by Rihanna and a performance by illusionist David Blaine.
Attendees are also likely to visit an animal rescue center in Jamnagar. There are more than 2000 animals here.
Reuters claims to have seen an official document regarding the planned tour, according to which the dress code for the tour will be Jungle Fever.
In this dress code, guests are asked to wear clothes with animal prints.
In a document seen by Reuters, guests are already given some instructions. Hair styling, makeup artists and Indian wear will be available on a ‘first come first’ basis, it said.
The Ambani family is also providing charter flights to guests from New Delhi and Mumbai. But for that the guests have been asked by a couple to carry limited luggage of two big bags or three suitcases.
The document states that if there is excess luggage, it is not guaranteed that it will go on the plane with the guests.
