It was raining film stars as Anant Ambani tied the knot with Radhika Merchant in what will remain the grandest event of the year.

A moment that has gone viral is how Aishwarya Rai Bachchan shares an adorable moment with Rekha:

The ‘Devdas’ actress arrived for the wedding ceremony with daughter Aaradhya and could also be seen greeting the ‘Umrao Jaan’ star. What grabbed headlines was Rai arrived separately and didn’t pose with the Bachchan family.

Earlier, we saw various celebs of showbiz choose international destinations for their wedding, but in recent times, many stars have tied the knot in India after PM Narendra Modi’s ‘Vocal for Local’ mission where he stated that celebrating weddings in the country will keep money within India.

Taking the recent example of the ongoing wedding festivities of  Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant  , the pre-wedding was held at Vantara, Gujarat while the 3-day wedding is going on at BKC, Mumbai. In this lavish wedding, lakhs of employment are generated within the country.

Right from local vendors to caterers, the cash flowing within the nation is serving as a great boost to the Indian economy. Various local businesses like painting, jewellery, sarees, wedding attire, furniture, readymade garments, shoes, wedding and greeting cards, dry fruits, sweets, fruits, puja items, food, electronics, and gift items, witness a surge in their profits.

Talking about the guest list of today’s ceremony of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant, former US secretary of state John Kerry, former Swedish PM Carl Bildt, and former Canadian PM Stephen Harper, Tanzania president Samia Suluhu Hassan, IOC vice president Juan Antonio Samaranch, WTO D-G Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala and FIFA president Gianni Infantino are expected to grace their presence.
