We get it, Indian weddings are known for their grandeur and elaborate celebrations that typically span multiple days. Its wonderful celebrations are often attended by large numbers of guests. The festivities are filled with vibrant colors, intricate decorations, sumptuous feasts, and various ceremonies that hold cultural and religious significance for the bride and groom. And that is all fantastic when it’s not turned into a PR driven circus, but held as an intimate occasion.
In a world where many are struggling to make ends meet and specifically in a country plagued by poverty, the opulent display of wealth by Ambani family stands starkly in contrast to the surrounding deprivation.
Lavish estates, luxury vehicles, and extravagant ruby, diamonds and emerald filled clothing, celebrity guests like Mark Zuckerberg, Ivanka Trump, Kim Kardashian, Rihanna, Justin Bieber, Priyanka Chopra and many more serve as visual markers of their prosperity, drawing a lot of resentment around the world. A billionaire with wealth comparable to Ambani's in a nation as economically challenged as India represents a concerning discrepancy.
Some of you may say it’s Ambani’s money, they can do whatever they wants. Rumor has it that his wealth comes from exploitation of India’s weak institutions, corrupt politicians and masses. At this stage the wedding is a fiasco, it’s a feast amidst the plaque and another proof that people worship money and overlook everything else.
Wonder how they sleep at night while many go to sleep hungry?
