What are reality TV star Kim Kardashian, former British Prime Minister Tony Blair and famous Indian cricketer Jasprit Bumrah all doing in the same room together?

Attending a wedding, of course.

Anati Ambani, the youngest son of Mukesh Ambani, the richest man in Asia, married Radhika Merchant in a three-day wedding ceremony in Mumbai this weekend.

The event, which has been criticized for being a display of extreme privilege in an impoverished country, has been capturing headlines for most of the year, as pre-wedding ceremonies and celebrations have featured appearances by some of the most famous names in the world.
