Kim Kardashian and her sister Khloe Kardashian attended the grand wedding of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant in India in July 2024, and the latest episode of The Kardashians offers a glimpse into their whirlwind 48-hour trip to Mumbai.
In the episode, Kim candidly admits that she doesn’t personally know the Ambani family but made the journey across the globe to attend the extravagant celebrations.
“I actually don’t know the Ambanis. We definitely have friends in common.” Kim shares in the episode. She explains that renowned jeweler Lorraine Schwartz, who designs jewelry for the Ambani family, informed her about the wedding and extended an invitation on their behalf.
“Lorraine Schwartz is one of our good friends. She is a jeweller. She does jewellery for the Ambani family. She told me she was going to their wedding and they would love to invite you and we just went on a whim and said ‘sure,’” Kim reveals.
Kim and Khloe also discussed the elaborate wedding invitation they received from the Ambani family, emphasising its sheer weight and grandeur. Khloe described it as weighing around 40-50 pounds (18-22 kgs) and even playing music when opened.
“It was crazy! When we saw the invitation, we were like, you don’t say no to something like this,” she adds.
The Ambani wedding was a spectacle that began in March 2024 in Jamnagar, featuring a star-studded lineup of performances, including Rihanna and Bollywood legends Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, and Aamir Khan.
Singers like Diljit Dosanjh and Akon also entertained the guests. After the Jamnagar celebrations, the Ambanis hosted a luxurious European cruise for their guests, making a stop in Italy. The grand finale in July featured a performance by Justin Bieber, alongside celebrated Indian artists like Shreya Ghoshal and Arijit Singh.
