The son of India's richest man, Anant Ambani, has finally become Radhika Merchant's husband. Boris Johnson and a number of other famous people were noticed at the celebration.





In India they like to do everything in a big way. Especially if there is enough money for it. Anant Ambani has a lot of money - or rather, his father, who did not spare a real fortune for his son. However, the bride is also not a dowry, but a quite wealthy person. Radhika Merchant is the heiress of a pharmaceutical company, although, of course, her father Viren Merchant’s capital is much more modest than that of the groom’s parents, amounting to “only” $90 million versus Ambani’s $123 billion.

Such a “star marriage,” of course, could not take place anyhow. Favorable dates for the wedding were chosen based on the couple's birth charts - it turned out that the best time for the celebration would be three days from July 12 to 14.

They began to prepare for the wedding ahead of time. Back in May, the groom hosted a pre-wedding party, where Justin Bieber performed for guests and parents, who, according to insiders, was paid about $10 million for this. Earlier, in March, Rihana was invited to a party for the future newlyweds. How much the singer, who performed several compositions, earned is unknown, but it is unlikely that her fee was lower than that of Bieber.

And they didn’t skimp on the wedding itself.

On July 12, Shubh Vivah began in Mumbai - this is the name of the wedding ceremony, the guests of which were billionaires, politicians and world celebrities. For the sake of their comfort in the city, which is already “famous” for its crazy traffic jams, the central roads are blocked.

Among the guests were Kim Kardashian, her sister Chloe, actress Priyanka Chopra and her husband Nick Jonas, and Hollywood wrestler John Cena.

Many guests are dressed in outfits of Indian designers. This was one of the main conditions of the holiday. Also, jewelry is prohibited at a wedding. All jewelry must be made of precious stones.

However, not everyone follows it. Former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson with his family and children and in ordinary clothes, as well as Tony Blair and his wife were seen at the wedding. The last couple took the dress code seriously and also dressed up in traditional Indian costumes.



However, no matter how stellar the guests are, no one will outshine the bride at her wedding. Radhika's wedding image was composed according to ancient Indian traditions. The ivory-colored outfit consisted of a flowing skirt with a second detachable train, a five-meter veil and a fabric dupatta on the shoulders. For her wedding, the bride wore family jewelry, including jewelry with emeralds, diamonds and other precious stones.







Just like at an ordinary wedding, there is a lot of fun, delicious food - except that the guests are hung from head to toe with jewelry and there is still no fight.





The wedding ceremony itself took place on Friday, the wedding took place today, and on Sunday there will be a wedding reception, which will complete the celebration. You can't stop living beautifully!
