The wedding of Anant Ambani, son of billionaire Mukesh Ambani, and Radhika Merchant, daughter of industrialist Viren Merchant, is set to be one of the most lavish events of the year. After months of pre-wedding festivities, the couple will finally tie the knot on Friday at Mumbai’s Jio World Centre. The guest list reads like a who’s who of the global elite, featuring luminaries from various sectors.
Reality TV star Kim Kardashian and her sister Kloe Kardashian arrived in Mumbai on Thursday night for the wedding. The presence of Samsung CEO Han Jong-hee adds further weight to the list of prominent figures attending the event. Earlier on Thursday, Priyanka Chopra and her husband Nick Jonas also arrived in Mumbai to join the celebrations.
The wedding has already seen a string of A-list appearances. Last week, Justin Bieber performed for hundreds of guests at the Sangeet ceremony. Now, with the arrival of Kim Kardashian and Samsung’s CEO, the anticipation for the main event has reached fever pitch.
The guest list is a testament to the Ambani family’s influence and global connections. It includes HSBC Holdings plc Chairman Mark Tucker, Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd. Chairman Jay Lee, and political figures such as former UK leaders Boris Johnson and Tony Blair. Other prominent attendees include Chief Executives like Saudi Aramco’s Amin Nasser, BP Plc’s Murray Auchincloss, Emma Walmsley of GSK Plc, Jim Taiclet of Lockheed Martin, and FIFA President Gianni Infantino.
While CEOs from firms like Ericsson and HP Inc. will be present, notable tech figures such as Meta Platforms Inc.’s Mark Zuckerberg, who attended pre-wedding festivities, are reportedly absent from the guest list.
The event has garnered attention for its lavish scale, with Mukesh Ambani sparing no expense. Top performers from around the globe have been invited to India to entertain guests during the festivities. The wedding is expected to be a grand spectacle, showcasing the Ambani family’s wealth and influence on a global stage.
