The celebrations began more than 130 days ago - now they are reaching their climax: the son of India's richest man, Anant Ambani (29), and his long-time girlfriend Radhika Merchant (29) are finally saying "I do" from Friday to Sunday. Many representatives of the world's elite are expected to attend the extravagant multi-day celebration in the Mumbai metropolis. Sebastian Kurz will also be there.

The former Austrian Chancellor arrived in "Indian garb" and celebrated with British ex-Prime Minister Boris Johnson and US ex-Secretary of State John Kerry, among others.

Kim and Khloé Kardashian, Tony Blair and Bollywood star Priyanka Chopra and her husband Nick Jonas were among those who landed in Mumbai. To facilitate the arrival of the many celebrities, the police even paralyzed traffic in important parts of the city.

The Indian financial center and heart of Bollywood movies is notorious for bad traffic jams even without a mega wedding.

Celebration began in March
The pre-wedding celebrations began back in March in the city of Jamnagar, where the world's largest oil refinery - owned by the groom's family - is located.

At the time, Microsoft founder Bill Gates, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, the daughter of former US President Donald Trump, Ivanka Trump, Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan and the King of Bhutan, Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck, were among the more than one thousand guests. Pop star Rihanna provided the entertainment.

Expenditure runs into hundreds of millions
Mukesh Ambani has already organized grand weddings for his two older children: in 2018, daughter Isha married the son of another billionaire. At the time, there was speculation about expenses of up to 100 million US dollars.
