This weekend, traffic in a key part of Mumbai came to a standstill to make way for a convoy of VIP guests attending one of the year鈥檚 most talked about events, the wedding ceremony of Radhika Merchant and Anant Ambani.

The couple tied the knot in a 4-day wedding extravaganza with the likes of Kim Kardashian, John Cena and India鈥檚 PM Narendra Modi in attendance. It was the glittering finale to 4 months of pre-wedding events which spread across continents and featured private concerts by Rihanna, Katy Perry and Justin Bieber.

The spectacle of the whole wedding has divided opinions, with some enjoying the extravagance of it all and others uncomfortable with such a display of wealth in a country facing stark inequality between rich and poor. 大象传媒 Delhi reporter, Meryl Sebastian, gives us an overview of the event and wedding culture in India.

Plus, 大象传媒 Business Correspondent, Nikhil Inamdar, tells us a bit about how the Ambani family made its fortune and the changing wealth landscape in India.

And Alex tells all about a disaster at his own wedding!
