Anant Ambani and his long-time girlfriend Radhika Merchant have wed following a months-long extravaganza of events

Celebrities, politicians and popstars from across the globe have arrived in Mumbai for the wedding of youngest son of Asia’s richest man Mukesh Ambani.

Anant Ambani tied the knot with Radhika Merchant, daughter of Indian pharma tycoons Viren and Shaila Merchant, in a traditional Hindu ceremony in Mumbai city on Friday.

The wedding events began with parties and celebrations in March, before the family invited over 800 guests to join them on a cruise around Europe.

But Friday saw the arrival of some of the world’s most recognisable faces, as politics, sport and celebrity mixed on the red carpet.

Friday’s ceremony was part of a four-day extravaganza – the final stop in a string of elaborate parties the family has hosted since March, featuring performances by popstars including Rihanna and Justin Bieber.
