Celebrities, politicians, and pop stars from around the world have descended on Mumbai for the wedding of Anant Ambani, the youngest son of Asia’s wealthiest man, Mukesh Ambani.

Anant Ambani is set to marry Radhika Merchant, daughter of Indian pharmaceutical moguls Viren and Shaila Merchant, in a traditional Hindu ceremony taking place in Mumbai on Friday.

The wedding festivities began with pre-celebrations and parties in March, followed by a European cruise that hosted over 800 guests.

Friday's event brought together some of the most prominent figures from politics, entertainment, and sports, making for a star-studded red carpet.

Notable political leaders were among the attendees, including former UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson, who was seen dancing with his wife Carrie and one of their young children as they arrived at the venue.

Tony Blair, Johnson's predecessor, also made an appearance with his wife Cherie, both dressed in traditional Indian clothing. Their arrival coincided with Blair’s Labour Party regaining power in the UK.

Reality TV star Kim Kardashian shared her arrival on Instagram, traveling with her sister Khloe, and hinted that their journey to the wedding might feature in the next season of The Kardashians.

Sports personalities were well-represented, with Indian cricket legend MS Dhoni attending with his family and FIFA President Gianni Infantino arriving with his wife Leena Al Ashqar.

WWE icon John Cena was also spotted at the event, entertaining photographers with his humor.

Bollywood stars added their glamour to the occasion. Priyanka Chopra arrived in Mumbai with her husband, singer Nick Jonas, and the couple was reportedly seen enjoying the dance floor, according to Indian media.

Kriti Sanon walked the red carpet in a pink lehenga, while Ananya Panday – who is a bridesmaid – appeared in a tiger-print yellow lehenga embroidered with “Anant’s Brigade” on the back.

The couple’s wedding celebrations are likely to continue over several days. Parties have been reportedly planned for Saturday and Sunday and a grand reception is scheduled for Monday.
