The Ambani family is throwing a massive pre-wedding party, much like the wedding of Mughal Prince Dara Shikoh, which was a significant event centuries ago. According to a recent report by The Print, Dara Shikoh's wedding was very expensive at the time, approximately Rs 352 crore in today's money. However, the first of the two parties for the Ambani wedding has allegedly cost a staggering Rs 1,116 crore.
The Ambani wedding is grabbing attention all over the world. It's not just about being fancy; it's also about showing off power and importance. Like ancient royal weddings, it's all about making a statement.
Royal weddings have always been more than just about love. They were about politics too, like forming alliances or showing off the family's wealth. Even though the Ambani-Merchant wedding might not be about politics, it still follows what society expects. The couple's acts of charity, visits to temples, and efforts to raise health awareness are like how people used to get married in the olden days.
Before the ongoing cruise party, Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant's first pre-wedding party cost a lot of money. According to the Daily Mail, it reached a total of ?120 million, which is about Rs 1259 crore in Indian money. Just the food for the party cost an amazing ?20 million, which is around Rs 210 crore. Rihanna performed at the event, and she reportedly got paid between $8 and $9 million, which is about Rs 66 and 74 crore, as per India Today. The celebration lasted for three days and had some very important guests like Shah Rukh Khan, Sachin Tendulkar, Mark Zuckerberg, and more. They were not only flown in on private planes but also driven around in luxury cars like Rolls-Royces.
