Mukesh Ambani’s lavish engagement celebration for his son Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant was a spectacle of opulence, marked by exclusive cruise stops, performances by Rihanna, and grand festivities that reportedly cost $150 million. However, the event sparked controversy in Portofino, Italy, where residents expressed outrage over the closure of the bay, affecting businesses and locals. Despite the controversy, Ambani’s pre-wedding celebrations in his hometown of Jamnagar were equally extravagant, featuring jewelled elephants and an appearance by Rihanna.
