Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant’s wedding will take place at Jio World Convention Centre in Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC), Mumbai. Due to traffic restrictions for the wedding, many companies in BKC have asked employees to work from home from July 12 to July 15.
The roads near the wedding venue, which is owned by billionaire Mukesh Ambani’s Reliance group, will be restricted for general traffic and open only for “event vehicles” from 1 pm to midnight during these days. This has caused frustration among locals and online.
The police consider the celebration a “public event” due to the attendance of many famous international and Indian celebrities.
The wedding is the grand finale of months of pre-wedding celebrations held in India and abroad. Mukesh and Nita Ambani hosted two big events earlier: one in Gujarat’s Jamnagar in March and another on a luxury cruise in Europe. Anant and Radhika will get married on Friday after a series of events in Mumbai over the last two weeks. Celebrities like Kim Kardashian, Khloe Kardashian, Samsung Electronics Chairman Lee Jae-Yong, and former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson are expected to attend the festivities this weekend.
Hotel room rates in BKC have soared to as high as ₹91,000 per night for this weekend.
There will be no entry for vehicles on Kurla MTNL Road from Laxmi Tower Junction through Dhirubai Ambani Square Avenue Lane-3, Indian Oil Petrol Pump, and Diamond Junction to Hotel Trident. Vehicles from One BKC should turn left at Laxmi Tower Junction, go to Diamond Gate No. 8, then turn right at NABARD Junction, continue to Diamond Junction, and head towards BKC via Dhirubai Ambani Square and the Indian Oil Petrol Pump.
