Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant’s wedding will be held at the Jio World Convention Centre in Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC), Mumbai. Due to the event, several companies in BKC have asked their employees to work remotely from July 12 to July 15 to avoid traffic congestion. Roads near the wedding venue, owned by billionaire Mukesh Ambani’s Reliance conglomerate, will be open only for “event vehicles” from 1 pm to midnight during these dates. These extensive traffic restrictions have caused frustration among locals and internet users.
The police have classified the wedding as a “public event” due to the attendance of high-profile international and Indian celebrities.
The wedding follows months of extravagant pre-wedding celebrations held in India and abroad. Mukesh and Nita Ambani hosted two grand events—one in Gujarat’s Jamnagar in March and another on a luxury cruise in Europe. Anant Ambani will marry Radhika Merchant on Friday after a series of events in Mumbai over the last two weeks. This weekend’s celebrations will feature global personalities like Kim Kardashian and her sister Khloe Kardashian, Samsung Electronics Chairman Lee Jae-Yong, and former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson. Last week, Justin Bieber performed at their Sangeet ceremony.
Hotel room rates in BKC have soared to as much as ₹91,000 per night for this weekend.
