Ambanis take over Paris and London before Anant Ambani, Radhika Merchant's international reception

Mukesh Ambani, chairman of Reliance Industries, and Nita Ambani, his wife, are the parents of Anant Ambani, their younger son. On July 12, Anant wedded Radhika Merchant, his longtime girlfriend in Mumbai. It is estimated that the extravagant wedding, which included a number of pre-wedding events, cost $500 million.

“The Ambanis don’t do things by halves and so thought nothing of booking the entire venue for two months. The cost is chicken feed to them. The bride and groom and family will attend different parties planned between now and September," a source told The Sun.

“Security, which is tightened, has been told to expect Boris Johnson and Tony and Cherie Blair. Prince Harry is also said to be hoping to pop in,” the source further added.
