There’s only one event that took over all our feeds this weekend - Anant and Radhika’s wedding ceremony. Here’s a roundup of all the highlights and the guest list from the star studded weekend!
Only the Ambanis can pull off wedding festivities for months on end and have us all hooked in a way that even TV shows can't! Not only did they bring all our favorite Bollywood stars together but also invited popular celebrities from the west and world leaders from around the globe. And they literally are the only family for whom public figures would adjust their busy schedules and show up for. So it goes without saying that where there’s celebrities, there will be the papz and lots of viral videos from inside the ceremony.
What left everyone shook was when on Thursday night, Kim and Khloe Kardashian landed in Mumbai. It was the most unexpected crossover ever! Seeing the reality TV sisters in sarees and vibing to Hindi music was not on any of our 2024 bingo cards and neither was the fact that they would film their famous reality show ‘The Kardashians’ at the Ambani wedding. Apart from the Kardashian sisters, there were also many other renowned names from the world who showed up to grace the event and of course the Bollywood fraternity was at the wedding wearing their best ensembles!
