Rajan Mehra, chief executive officer of air charter company Club One Air, said the Ambani family has hired three Falcon-2000 jets to transport wedding guests and expects the event to be air-conditioned. More than 100 private planes will be used. “Guests are coming from everywhere and each plane will make several trips around the country,” he told news agency Reuters.
Major traffic restrictions in Mumbai this weekend
The grand Indian wedding ceremony will take place at the Jio World Center in Bandra Kurla Center (BKC), located in the central business district of Mumbai. Roads near the venue will be open only to event vehicles between 1pm and midnight on July 12-15. The traffic police in Mumbai has issued detailed advisories on road restrictions for three days. The main wedding ceremony will take place on Friday, July 12 while the next two days are kept for Ashirwad (auspicious blessings) and reception. Traffic has already slowed down in the area around the venue, which is being decorated with decorative chandeliers and red flowers. Marigolds and bright yellow lights have also been used to decorate trees outside Antilia, Ambani’s 27-storey mansion in Mumbai.
The program has been going on continuously for several days
This weekend’s celebration is the culmination of grand events held over the past few months. It first started with a pre-wedding in Jamnagar. Then the second pre-wedding was held in Italy and France and a long celebration took place on the cruise. Let us tell you that Mark Zuckerberg was also among the 1,200 guests at the first pre-wedding event and in May, the Ambani family organized a pre-wedding luxury European cruise party for 800 guests, including Bollywood stars and cricketers. Now many programs are going on in Mumbai for the last two weeks. The ceremony featured global artists such as Justin Bieber, Rihanna, Katy Perry and boy band Backstreet Boys performing for celebrity guests, many of whom were India’s top Bollywood actors.
