Listen to Story Anant Ambani tied the knot with childhood sweetheart Radhika Merchant in an extravagant fairytale wedding overflowing with celebrities, power brokers, and enough bling to blind a fashion blogger. The star-studded extravaganza saw international A-listers like reality royalty Kim Kardashian and sister Khloe rubbing shoulders with Indian film industry royalty like Rajinikanth and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, as well as world leaders like ex-UK prime ministers Tony Blair and Boris Johnson. The food was just as over-the-top as the guest list.
Money was no object for the richest family in Asia, who ensured their guests feasted like Maharajas on a world tour of flavours. From the Kardashians to Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas, to WWE champion John Cena and Indian cricket legends like Sachin Tendulkar and MS Dhoni, all had their plates piled high with both classic Indian fare and global cuisine. There was a delightful spread of traditional Indian sweets like creamy rabri, and refreshing lassi to quench guests’ thirst for extravagance.
For those fancy foodies, there was even caviar served on a bed of tiramisu - because why not? The dessert table was straight out of your Instagram feed. Forget cupcakes, these were edible works of art that blurred the lines between fruit and cake. The wedding venue was even transformed into a mini-version of the holy city of Varanasi, adding another layer of extravagance to this unforgettable night.
The days leading up to the wedding were no.
