Stars of every firmament – Bollywood, Hollywood, industry and cricket – from John Cena to Rajnikanth, American influencer Kim Kardashian and her sister Khloe, and Mahendra Singh Dhoni – turned out in their glittering best, marking their presence so as to make the priciest of Swarovskis seem less than a gleam, at what is being billed as the wedding of the decade.
Former UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson and his family were among the many foreign dignitaries; he was seen dancing to the pulsating beat of 'bhangra' and posing for the paparazzi.
The Kardashian sisters, who arrived here late on Thursday to a red-carpet welcome at the Taj Mahal Hotel, took an autorickshaw ride through the bustling streets of Mumbai ahead of the wedding.
Wearing a red and golden sherwani, Anant arrived at the venue with his family – father Mukesh, mother Nita, sister Isha and her husband Anand Piramal, and brother Akash and his wife Shloka Mehta, as well as their children.
The sherwani, a ‘bandhgala’ with intricate golden embroidery, front-button closures adorned with precious gems, full-length sleeves, and padded shoulders, paired with white pyjamas, beige sneakers embellished with gold sequins, and a gold elephant brooch.
Bride Radhika Merchant looked gorgeous in the first look revealed by designer Rhea Kapoor. She wore an Abu Jani-Sandeep Khosla lehenga, keeping with the Gujarati tradition of brides wearing red and white.
Not just the Ambani family but the guests also wore designer Indian dresses, complementing the groom-to-be.
