The groom, Anant, isn't set to wed his bride, Radhika Merchant, until July 12. If the pre-wedding event is any indication, wedding attendees can expect a truly remarkable experience.

However, Ambani, the richest man in India, faced criticism after celebrities attended the billionaire's wedding from those residing in poverty near the location.

Even on social media, he faced criticism for his wastefulness from viewers.

However, others have come to the defense of the billionaire, asserting that how Ambani chooses to allocate his wealth is entirely his prerogative.

One person said: Humble and very generous family who donates heavily for helping poor and welfare of animals as well as so its the time to use their own money on their own pleasure.
