To find the Ambani wedding distasteful

Was Kim Kardashian actually paid to attend the wedding 💍?

Looking at her outfit.. I think they must have assumed she was the entertainment

I’m seeing more than a billion pounds of difference 🤣. Societies which recognise the difference tend to score more highly in terms of happiness. Basically, there comes a point where inequality between the wealthiest and the majority is so great that any perception of fairness is lost and the concentration of that much wealth and power in so few hands is seen to be abusive, particularly when so blatantly flaunted. This family is advertising that they can click their fingers and get politicians, popstars and other leaders of industry to come running.

Maybe. But they do nothing and you do nothing. I’m not seeing much of a difference.

It’s all relative, but that doesn’t excuse arguing that black is white - extremes still exist and the bigger the gap between one end of the extreme and the other, the less defensible the gap becomes.

Tell that to the bloke sleeping on a bit of cardboard as you drive past in your 10k car, back to your 300k house, to reminisce about your 15k wedding.

Yes, they might be able to help millions with their money, rather than spending it on mansions and rolls Royce’s, but they don’t. You might be able to help one person with your money, rather than spending it on a house in the right catchment area and car that’s either new or only a couple of years old. But you don’t. It’s all relative.

Just saying...lots of commonwealth leaders and officials were invited to William and Catherine's wedding but guess that is ok as they are The Royals! I wonder if anyone in the Royal family knew any of these official people personally!

Weddings for the rich are sometimes business opportunities for those people to get even more richer and it's not just about celebrating the people about to get married.

The whole Ambani wedding was distasteful and tacky in my view but guess each to their own. Some of the Jubilee celebrations and Kings Coronation are also just as over the top.

It’s always people at least the parents or grandparents know, not bloody Kim Kardashian! That’s like me inviting Shah Rukh Khan lol

Yes weddings go on for days but you don’t invite random people you don’t know.

Yes you do

In contrast another Indian billionaires family wedding.

Murthy/Sunak.

They are self made due to corruption. Yes weddings go on for days but you don’t invite random people you don’t know.

They’re showing off and it’s tacky.

Some of the stuff on this thread is judging the religion, not the wealth, which I'm sure none of you mean to do, so I'll clarify a few things.

Hindu weddings do go on for days, a one day event is very alien to me.

The bride and groom would not have had control of their guest list, it's more than a wedding, it's a business event in this case. Even if you aren't a big business family, the first wedding in a generation for example is often used to bring the community together or reciprocate wedding invitations you've had (this could go back 20 years or more!). It's about togetherness of more than just the couple.

Although the wealth for these events has trickled down, I do struggle with the rich/poor disparity in these areas.

However, MN and the UK in general don't like it when other people become too successful, even if they're self made. I've asked numerous times on here what figure you're allowed to make before being vilified on here but no one has been answer me yet.

I'd also agree with PP that the colonial mindset is strong. I'd read up a little more of the impact of British rule on various colonies before you begin to comment.

Exactly and we have children using food banks here or whole families in hotel rooms because there is no social housing and nothing private affordable. At least they have used their own money

Omg this is HILARIOUS!!! You're so clever!

Who shall we take the piss out of next? People with ADHD? Cancer? MS?

BTW the groom is asthmatic and is on steroids so cannot control his weight. He is marrying his childhood sweetheart who belongs the biggest Pharma tycoon, usual billionaires marrying billionaires… no surprises

Ahhh I see, I was a bit puzzled, because all the comments have been saying it's just a financial marriage, but in all the pictures I looked at the Bride seems rapturously happy, which if it was just marriage for convenience would be a tad difficult to feign. Her happiness truly appears genuine.

The asthma must be very severe. Not nice.

You didn't have to accept the invitation.

It’s the use of ‘they’ that really grates. Stereotyping one religious group as one homogenous uncaring cruel mass of people. Ugh.

Thank you. Even poor people in India are richer than rich people in the UK given Indians don't live off benefits 😀

Your nan was evidently a succinct and classy lady.

I changed my mind and reported this racist crap. Unsurprisingly it has been allowed to stay up. Apparently its OK to accuse millions of people of not having any human feelings.

Plenty of black people live in India not to mention that the average Indian is dark skin much darker than Rihana that's why bleaching creams are so popular over there.

I was just talking about this family as they high profile right now.

wish them well but totally get why majority feel nauseous.

Hilarious that Rihanna launching her wares in a country that hates Black people.

That’s capitalism on acid.

all this hype is due to Social media, can you imagine if Diana/charles , Harry/Meghan wedding getting this kind of attention

750 million people watched Charles Marry Diana, 2 billion watched Diana's funeral

Id think that was some type of attention back in the early 80s and 97

I think most people don’t get their business relationships behind these celebrities showing up.

Ambanis produce Indian films and TV . Also have streaming platform that give a Netflix a run for the money. Naturally all entertainment celebrities are dancing at the procession

Rihanna charged for engagement show but also signed for her brand launch in india. Guess what they have launched several high profile brands in india.

zukerberg, bezos came because Ambanis are leading in 5G in India

No effing clue what Bojo and Blair are attending. I would like to know.

BTW the groom is asthmatic and is on steroids so cannot control his weight. He is marrying his childhood sweetheart who belongs the biggest Pharma tycoon, usual billionaires marrying billionaires… no surprises

Megs did invite Hollywood to her wedding… half of them didn’t even know her. But Royalty has attraction and so does the richest fam in Asia

Modi doesn’t factor in for the Tatas, Ambanis and Murthys. Yes when it comes to Adanis … similar sounding same to Ambanis….

SM has blown it out of proportions. Think about of same tik tokers and instagrams did this with Harry’s wedding , Sultan’s wedding which were same at 3digit in Millions

All of India absolutely does not love the Ambanis. There have been plenty of concerns about the Ambanis raised in the Indian press. If people only bothered to read them.

As for it being a marriage of two dynasties and a business transaction, of course. Like the royals or the super rich everywhere. You are not going to find Prince George marrying a Muslim woman for love either. Or Taylor Swift marrying the guy who serves her at McDonalds. Romance is a luxury for the top 1%.
