The thing is ,, the royal family are the countrys head of state not just another billionaire family. Plus the royal family brings in money to the govt than it takes out

Ambani doesn't need to fit into the western style of quiet wedding on the countryside. He is the 11th richest man in the world for crying out loud. Why does a wedding need to be quiet? Its a celebration. The amount of money he spent on his son's wedding is like a drop in his bucket of wealth. It didn't even make a dent.
We, Indian, love to flaunt our money on weddings... majority of Indian parents start to save money for their siblings soon they were born depends on your income ( Akash & Radhika's weddings were most expensive wedding the world have seen ever)...Annant & Radhika were in love from their school days and I wish them to be very happy and healthy life together..
Did Prince Charles love Diana when they got married???? I agree,don't be cynical lady asking about whether Radhika loves Anant...I think they love each other a lot n their marriage will definitely last longer than most Royal marriages!!
@@GyanPrakash dude i went from small village to Bombay and also dehli i saw both aspects yes there are many super rich and sooo many middle class and many poor in India but your exaggerating it a lot🙂
Ruch people and poor people in India is really difference. Rich people like him spend even 100 to 200 millions to have a wedding. Instead of that lot of poor people in India they don't have places to live, food to eat. Wish they have a revolution to develop their country at the same. Don't distinguish among people.
When the rich do something, it will generate income. The Ambanis pulled off a massive marketing campaign that will generate income for Indian businesses, especially the textile and jewellery industries. The British destroyed the Indian textile industry.
Louis, this is not a wedding, its cooperate party. To do business. You should investigate the drak part happened in this party. Drugs, Prostitute, Abusing, harassments ect... ! His phone company increases price. From there he recovering weeding expenses
Am I the only one who feels uneasy about the host's gloomy look and criticism-inspired questions? I mean what's the BBC's business with a family deciding to celebrate their wedding in style?

@@user-up9rf3nw2iwe all know by sa har committee report who constitutes the majority in slums and that too by choice? Majority Hindus are fine. very small percentage is below the line and we are working on elevating their level. If we didn’t have the government stealing from Hindu temples and giving it to others, we would not have that problem. We also pay taxes in majority and others just take it. So…. It’s a political problem, not Hinduism problem. Only thing we are not good at is violence and hence taken advantage of.
@@ak-19healedandfree are you jealous, ignorant or talking from pure hate? They paid for wedding of 50 poor couples in a lavish way. Everything from clothes to gold jewelry to wedding reception, food was paid by the Ambanis. In addition they fed a lot of poor people throughout the various rituals and ceremonies. There are a lot of Western royal weddings and they don’t pay for anyone else’s wedding prior to that or have free meals for entire cities as part of wedding celebration. So… check your facts before speaking. In fact giving is part of every Hindu wedding ritual. Everyone gives within their means but feeding poor, donating clothes are all part of wedding rituals.
I'm happy the Ambanis did it lavishly...important to understand that they used their own wealth not the tax payers wealth!! We've all watched the royal weddings of the British n England has cashed in on the publicity by the press..so now it's our turn to make heads turn !!
In Cyprus it is normal to invite 5000 guests at weddings even for poor people. In a very small party about 250 people are invited and there is a problem because most of the people are not invited. All the guests give money as a present, therefore the weddings with many guests are considered very profitable. The wedding may cost 40,000 euros but 100,000 euros fare received from the guests.
The wedding is enhancing India's soft power and global goodwill, showcasing the richness of Indian culture, fashion, and cuisine. This mirrors the strategy seen in the Royal wedding, which highlights British extravagance and aims to bolster its soft power despite its historical colonial implications.
Nice to see that for BBC India exists beyond slums and controversy 😊. Yes there was love for Bhagwan, for parents, for family for ethics and love between the couple
10:47 Tell me, dear sir, does UK not have wealth disparity? Why is this even a matter of discussion? If Ambanis can afford to splurge, so be it! Rather than being critical, appreciate the fact that the wedding helped a plethora of indian businesses.
Why do you all care how the ambani spends their money Do people criticize the royal family when they spend million on weddings or other billioners who spend millions on stupid things Why only show how much they spend on their son Why do you guys not show how the fed the poor all throughout the wedding How they sponsored 50 underprivilage couples wedding how much they donated Honestly indians spend half their saving on wedding even if they're from the poor or middle class its their money if you know nothing about the culture dont even speak on it And all these about poor peopl having nothing to eat acting like india is the only place where people are suffering what have the billionars of "your" country doing to help the poor its not ambanis job its the government job
West actually always underestimates India. India has largest middle class population greater than US + EU + Africa combined. Extreme poverty is less than 2% . Multidimensional poverty is at 11% as per 2024 . While in UK poverty rate is 20% .
Jealous level of other people's on top (specifically European media ) to see after abani wedding 😂 Specifically india 😆like how indian can do like this
Don't think Ambanis are just rude and bad because they are rich. They are very cultured and always much Charity work. In fact India's internet revolution was brought by Mukesh Ambani. He gave unlimited 4g internet through jio(sim card) for 1 year straight. And even after 1 year, the charges were very low.
Noooo! India's Internet Revolution started much before Jio was even conceived. Entrepreneurs in Bengaluru and then later in Hyderabad shaped India's Internet Rise.
And for that Jiao with other operators is even putting illegal mobile towers everywhere. Mobile tower causes health issues. You are only seeing 1 side of the coin
@@SA_IN They did ass. India's internet revolution is all due to Ambani's Jio. We were paying ₹198 for 1gb 3g data. After Ambani we pay ₹200 for 60gb 4g data & unlimited calls-SMS.
Has anyone in the West heard of the Circular Flow Model theory ? I mean thanks to this or any wedding in any Asian country the money flows to all corners of the society, specially the working or the poor classes. I feel this criticism coming from the BBC that goes to town blowing up THEIR ROYAL weddings is rather hypocritical. Why is it when Asians do it, all of a sudden the monocle goes on the eye ? Please, at least this is NOT stolen money. It's the hard work of this man and if he wants to spend ,so be it. I feel the wealthy HAVE to spend to keep the cash flow moving and what this family did WILL reverberate to many corners of India. Without criticising it Mr Nikhil Ananda maybe you should do research on how it helped out a nation.
they fed the poor needy before the wedding and there was a marriage ceremony for group marriage felt like someone from my own family was getting married congratulations to the lovely newlyweds it is lovely, beautiful clothes and food cuisine food delicacies enjoyed watching them 🕺 💃 🕺 💃 🕺 💃 🕺 💃 🕺 💃 🕺 💃 🕺 💃 🕺 💃 🕺 💃 🕺dance love blooming everywhere
This wedding was a huge business development opportunity for the Ambani companies. That is why they invited celebrities to launch brands and get coverage in the Western world. I am surprised people don't see that and instead complain about poverty in India. Apples and oranges.
There's something wrong about this conspicuous display of obscene wealth. Shame on the "celebrities" who attended the wedding of people they most likely don't know just because they were paid to do so. Bought and paid for. Disgusting.
If Britain could give back at least 1% of the wealth, it stole or plundered from India during the colonial time, it would help thousands of poor people out of poverty...😮
Trust BBC about India and its ethos, the anchor needlessly asks unethical question if the groom loves the bride. Is it because King Charles loves his queen but never loved Princess Diana, the real Queen of Heart of her time and not Queen Elizabeth. Really BBC will never grow out of their “ condescending veneer “. Come on BBC be more decent and wish any marrying couple always the best. The anchor needs to know that that the world will only appear the way she perceives it if you don’t understand the thing as they are. Being in media world that’s the fundamentals of any issue you are presenting.
The girl's father's net worth is 755 crores. The boy's father's net worth is 7,65,348 crores. It's a typical rich boy - poor girl love story and wedding!!
As far as your question about love is concerned, just notice the reactions of the groom , how he touches the bride, if he looks at her when a man in love would look at her, and you will be 100% sure that he is not in love with the bride.
Если этот человек Мукеш Амбани так богат, то почему он сохранил свою страну бедной, почему в его стране так много нищеты, где дороги остаются грязными, нет питьевой воды, люди живут в бедности, безработица, почему это не развивается в его стране, которая была такой богатой
10:00 as if ambani took loan from this woman and he spent on his sons wedding... 😅 cartoon ... indians like glittering wedding infact any middle class also spend like him according to his capcity ... just because he did in much bigger scale which is beyond your reach doesn't make him villan... i find this moral policing disgusting... judging people whom you will never met ...
Old western love to talk about inequality in India and Asia - however I have seen so many ghettos and homeless in countries ranging from UK, USA, Germany.. so pls stop being joules ;)
For once foreign media gets to talk about India beyond being a land of snake charmers , elephants and slums. This family sponsored multiple mass weddings and attended them too. They created business transactions and boosted economy like no other. While an average Indian too goes overboard when there is wedding in the family, why should the richest family shy away? They did not spend any tax payers money but the money that they have earned in last 3 generations not something passed on as legacy from royalty...
BBC never ceases to amaze me. BBC has managed to pepper a story about a wedding (agree with everything that was said about it) with pictures of slums and railway tracks! And to question whether there was love involved in someone else’s (and you don’t know them) wedding …that is a new low

BBC and the jealousy people got triggered because even the richest kings old days or the Buckingham Palace couldn't effort such an expensive wedding. If you are talking about their genuinely loved yes they are childhood friends. dont be so jealous about someones success
What is an idea behind making a personal family event into an international event. People used to get married to enjoy life together socially acceptable and add to family tree. It was an occasion of joy because it was an important event for married people and their families to start as one. Some fun and happiness oriented events were normal to celebrate.Well, agree or not it was never intended to showcase wealth except oh well except when question of dowry came in picture. I understand in old traditions in some cultures girls were virtually sold. I am glad for all privileged, wealthy, social elites who can enjoy these extravaganzas. For poor once again reminder how unlucky you are. So social divide and rich people's tool to remind not so privileged how blessed they are. It is obvious what were personal and family events are becoming more and more to establish ever high position for lucky, rich and privileged. With the time what should be less and less social divide has become more and more evident. May be we wait for thousand years to see if things change.
Marriage is all about friends and relatives and celebration of 2 souls but as an Indian myself I can say that this wedding (event) was merely an ostentation of their wealth and more than half of those guests were not even related to them or met for the first time 😂😂. They just teased their fellow Indians by showing all this show off and opulence and to make them feel how Poor and unpreveiliged they are. Interestingly they even raised their tarrifs of their telecom business to it's customers right in the middle of this ugly show off 😂. They dont even participate in charity towards needy people . What a stark contrast between them and Indian Philosophy 😢
Government data. Government gives subsidies to 800 million Indians as free ration. You cañ get that only when you are below extreme poverty. That means their earning is less than 6,000 rupees a month. So 800 million Indians still earn below 6000 rupees a month. India has got a century to catch up with developed economies as per quality of living index is concerned.
@@itsmeitoldyouthat1448LOL... There are hell lot of people who have fake BPL cards and taking full benefit of India's food stocks. They are not necessarily poor.

@@itsmeitoldyouthat1448 India has eliminated extreme poverty....grow-up we know where we are and where we want to be....don't need your money or advice.
I wish this lovely couple all the love, happiness and blessings with their lives ahead. But sadly the wedding in my humble opinion boarded on vulgar. Even if you have all the money in the world it is important to show some restraint, humility and respect of the times and the context we live in. This couple will go on to live a wonderful life but there are others who will try and emulate them and unfortunately will suffer from their indiscriminate spending 😢 This is just my opinion from South Africa and of Indian descent 🇿🇦
I agree filthy rich people have their own right to spend as much as they like. That is their personal taste. My perception is why not they donate some money to the orphanage, old age home where senior citizens aged above 80 years old are not treated with good meals medical facilities. These people doesn't have humanity at all. Will they carry all the wealth when they kick the bucket. To hell with such show off guys.
What kind of question is that, does he love her? Of course he does. He could have married anyone but, he chose her. They are together for a long time. Obviously he does love her. Jealous?

Do you not love to be forgiven by Allah ? And Allah is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful !
[Quran 56:57]:-
We have created you, so why do you not Believe ?
The best reply so far
I can imagine the pain western countries must be experiencing looking at the extravagance… their snake charmer tag seems to be biting them
Ambani doesn't need to fit into the western style of quiet wedding on the countryside. He is the 11th richest man in the world for crying out loud. Why does a wedding need to be quiet? Its a celebration. The amount of money he spent on his son's wedding is like a drop in his bucket of wealth. It didn't even make a dent.
We, Indian, love to flaunt our money on weddings... majority of Indian parents start to save money for their siblings soon they were born depends on your income ( Akash & Radhika's weddings were most expensive wedding the world have seen ever)...Annant & Radhika were in love from their school days and I wish them to be very happy and healthy life together..
How crazy how much money waste in a wedding in a country where people eats with rats along side
Did Prince Charles love Diana when they got married???? I agree,don't be cynical lady asking about whether Radhika loves Anant...I think they love each other a lot n their marriage will definitely last longer than most Royal marriages!!

Ruch people and poor people in India is really difference. Rich people like him spend even 100 to 200 millions to have a wedding. Instead of that lot of poor people in India they don't have places to live, food to eat. Wish they have a revolution to develop their country at the same. Don't distinguish among people.
Inequality is high in USA too. Wedding is a huge expense for everyone in india, so it was for ambani. It's all relative.
Indian Russell Brand 🙏🏼
When the rich do something, it will generate income. The Ambanis pulled off a massive marketing campaign that will generate income for Indian businesses, especially the textile and jewellery industries.
The British destroyed the Indian textile industry.
45 trillions looted by British, Frist return that and than talk about poverty in india
I was waiting for the BBC to show us Mumbai Slum!?? How did they miss it?!!😂😂
Forgotten 😁
Wish you would have shown more OF THE WEDDING!!!!!!
This Nikhil seems to be very unhappy. I don't know whether he is unhappy with the Ambanis or the wedding or the growing power of India overall.
Louis, this is not a wedding, its cooperate party. To do business. You should investigate the drak part happened in this party. Drugs, Prostitute, Abusing, harassments ect... ! His phone company increases price. From there he recovering weeding expenses
Am I the only one who feels uneasy about the host's gloomy look and criticism-inspired questions? I mean what's the BBC's business with a family deciding to celebrate their wedding in style? Is capitalism not the baby of the UK royal family? If our concern is inequality, then we should start with the UK or?
Perfect display of Hinduism... i just loved that...
@@user-up9rf3nw2i, is that why India is the 4th largest economy? Is that why India is a space superpower? Is that India is a pharmaceutical giant in the world? Is that why India is a hub of information technology? Is that why India is the fastest growing economy? Is that why the West is licking the bottom of India for its support against Russia? Is that why the West wants the support of India against China? Is that why India has become the second largest FDI country in the UK?
Lol I can go on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and it will never end that India is a massive superpower today with a lot of youngsters aiming for sky I mean it literally because look at the no. Of space startups that have sprung up in recent times, it's massive. Mark my words, India is going to rule the world and everyone has to make way for it, including China whether they like it or not.
@@user-up9rf3nw2iwe all know by sa har committee report who constitutes the majority in slums and that too by choice? Majority Hindus are fine. very small percentage is below the line and we are working on elevating their level. If we didn’t have the government stealing from Hindu temples and giving it to others, we would not have that problem. We also pay taxes in majority and others just take it. So…. It’s a political problem, not Hinduism problem. Only thing we are not good at is violence and hence taken advantage of.
What is hinduism then? Greed and immorality? Lack of giving to the poor?
What the other poor Hindus girls getting married on the verge of their extinction on a roadside gutter
@@ak-19healedandfree are you jealous, ignorant or talking from pure hate? They paid for wedding of 50 poor couples in a lavish way. Everything from clothes to gold jewelry to wedding reception, food was paid by the Ambanis. In addition they fed a lot of poor people throughout the various rituals and ceremonies. There are a lot of Western royal weddings and they don’t pay for anyone else’s wedding prior to that or have free meals for entire cities as part of wedding celebration. So… check your facts before speaking. In fact giving is part of every Hindu wedding ritual. Everyone gives within their means but feeding poor, donating clothes are all part of wedding rituals.
Weird that the Sunak's were not invited but Johnson was.
I'm happy the Ambanis did it lavishly...important to understand that they used their own wealth not the tax payers wealth!! We've all watched the royal weddings of the British n England has cashed in on the publicity by the press..so now it's our turn to make heads turn !!
In Cyprus it is normal to invite 5000 guests at weddings even for poor people. In a very small party about 250 people are invited and there is a problem because most of the people are not invited. All the guests give money as a present, therefore the weddings with many guests are considered very profitable. The wedding may cost 40,000 euros but 100,000 euros fare received from the guests.
The wedding is enhancing India's soft power and global goodwill, showcasing the richness of Indian culture, fashion, and cuisine. This mirrors the strategy seen in the Royal wedding, which highlights British extravagance and aims to bolster its soft power despite its historical colonial implications.
BBC thinking we should tax more for Next Royal Wedding 😂
What would you say about the Royal weddings in UK?I think it is fashionable to criticize everything Indian.
Ikr😢😅. The Americans and British think they are better 😢😅
UK is better off than India. We are still a third world nation. Not everything is a conspiracy
Well said
Royal weddings happens ever 25 to 50 years.
The Queen / king is part of the UK government structure.
@@zochbuppet448But there are royal divorces, deaths, discretionary excursions, expensive affairs etc... in between. 😂
Nice to see that for BBC India exists beyond slums and controversy 😊. Yes there was love for Bhagwan, for parents, for family for ethics and love between the couple
It’s amazing how powerful these people are from this certain country even after years of being ripped off by Britain, congrats to the new couple! 🎉
Don’t feel jealous guys, work hard 😅
10:47 Tell me, dear sir, does UK not have wealth disparity? Why is this even a matter of discussion? If Ambanis can afford to splurge, so be it! Rather than being critical, appreciate the fact that the wedding helped a plethora of indian businesses.
Why do you all care how the ambani spends their money
Do people criticize the royal family when they spend million on weddings or other billioners who spend millions on stupid things
Why only show how much they spend on their son
Why do you guys not show how the fed the poor all throughout the wedding
How they sponsored 50 underprivilage couples wedding how much they donated
Honestly indians spend half their saving on wedding even if they're from the poor or middle class its their money if you know nothing about the culture dont even speak on it
And all these about poor peopl having nothing to eat acting like india is the only place where people are suffering what have the billionars of "your" country doing to help the poor its not ambanis job its the government job
West actually always underestimates India. India has largest middle class population greater than US + EU + Africa combined. Extreme poverty is less than 2% . Multidimensional poverty is at 11% as per 2024 . While in UK poverty rate is 20% .
Jealous level of other people's on top (specifically European media )
to see after abani wedding 😂
Specifically india 😆like how indian can do like this
Don't think Ambanis are just rude and bad because they are rich. They are very cultured and always much Charity work. In fact India's internet revolution was brought by Mukesh Ambani. He gave unlimited 4g internet through jio(sim card) for 1 year straight. And even after 1 year, the charges were very low.
Noooo! India's Internet Revolution started much before Jio was even conceived. Entrepreneurs in Bengaluru and then later in Hyderabad shaped India's Internet Rise.
Kannada🤡@@SA_IN
The initial offerring of unlimited 4G was not charity you fool...that's a marketing technique called Low-Ball technique used by shrewd businessmen 😂
And for that Jiao with other operators is even putting illegal mobile towers everywhere. Mobile tower causes health issues. You are only seeing 1 side of the coin
@@SA_IN
They did ass.
India's internet revolution is all due to Ambani's Jio.
We were paying ₹198 for 1gb 3g data.
After Ambani we pay ₹200 for 60gb 4g data & unlimited calls-SMS.
Has anyone in the West heard of the Circular Flow Model theory ?
I mean thanks to this or any wedding in any Asian country the money flows to all corners of the society, specially the working or the poor classes.
I feel this criticism coming from the BBC that goes to town blowing up THEIR ROYAL weddings is rather hypocritical. Why is it when Asians do it, all of a sudden the monocle goes on the eye ?
Please, at least this is NOT stolen money. It's the hard work of this man and if he wants to spend ,so be it. I feel the wealthy HAVE to spend to keep the cash flow moving and what this family did WILL reverberate to many corners of India. Without criticising it Mr Nikhil Ananda maybe you should do research on how it helped out a nation.
Agree 100% This must’ve helped a lot of people with jobs and more
they fed the poor needy before the wedding
and there was a marriage ceremony for group marriage
felt like someone from my own family was getting married
congratulations to the lovely newlyweds
it is lovely, beautiful clothes and food cuisine food delicacies

Just because some European guy was flown down to cook doesn't mean thats the reason pastries were good . Racists bbc as always
I hope this beautiful wedding is the start of a beautiful marriage! Best wishes to both of them ❤️
This wedding was a huge business development opportunity for the Ambani companies. That is why they invited celebrities to launch brands and get coverage in the Western world. I am surprised people don't see that and instead complain about poverty in India. Apples and oranges.
Not true. Do not judge. Do not be barrow minded. Get a life and don't be jelpus.😅
Also India as whole, it's going to get tourism to the country up.
There's something wrong about this conspicuous display of obscene wealth. Shame on the "celebrities" who attended the wedding of people they most likely don't know just because they were paid to do so. Bought and paid for. Disgusting.
Complaining that Kardashian wearing red is inappropriate ???!!!...that she is wearing anything at all.
He still missed out…I wasn’t there
This makes me happy for India
If Britain could give back at least 1% of the wealth, it stole or plundered from India during the colonial time, it would help thousands of poor people out of poverty...😮
Trust BBC about India and its ethos, the anchor needlessly asks unethical question if the groom loves the bride. Is it because King Charles loves his queen but never loved Princess Diana, the real Queen of Heart of her time and not Queen Elizabeth. Really BBC will never grow out of their “ condescending veneer “. Come on BBC be more decent and wish any marrying couple always the best. The anchor needs to know that that the world will only appear the way she perceives it if you don’t understand the thing as they are. Being in media world that’s the fundamentals of any issue you are presenting.
The girl's father's net worth is 755 crores. The boy's father's net worth is 7,65,348 crores. It's a typical rich boy - poor girl love story and wedding!!
😂😂
THEY HAD A WEDDING AND DIDNT GO INTO DEBT FOR IT.
As far as your question about love is concerned, just notice the reactions of the groom , how he touches the bride, if he looks at her when a man in love would look at her, and you will be 100% sure that he is not in love with the bride.
How shallow of the anchor to state " he loves animals but does he love her?"
So much of the Brit arrogance towards Indians.
Если этот человек Мукеш Амбани так богат, то почему он сохранил свою страну бедной, почему в его стране так много нищеты, где дороги остаются грязными, нет питьевой воды, люди живут в бедности, безработица, почему это не развивается в его стране, которая была такой богатой
Putin was also very rich then why so many russian are poor , why so many russian town are dirty 20 percent russian people don't have sanitation.
10:00 as if ambani took loan from this woman and he spent on his sons wedding... 😅 cartoon ... indians like glittering wedding infact any middle class also spend like him according to his capcity ... just because he did in much bigger scale which is beyond your reach doesn't make him villan... i find this moral policing disgusting... judging people whom you will never met ...
Right dude 😂
Old western love to talk about inequality in India and Asia - however I have seen so many ghettos and homeless in countries ranging from UK, USA, Germany.. so pls stop being joules ;)
I definitely see this couple love each other.
Sadly there are million kids who go to bed hungry and this excess is so sad
For once foreign media gets to talk about India beyond being a land of snake charmers , elephants and slums. This family sponsored multiple mass weddings and attended them too. They created business transactions and boosted economy like no other. While an average Indian too goes overboard when there is wedding in the family, why should the richest family shy away? They did not spend any tax payers money but the money that they have earned in last 3 generations not something passed on as legacy from royalty...
Yes they earned that with whatever means necessary.
Party like a Rockstar They know how to have fun & it looks like he's already pregnant 😎
Huge congrats to the couple and their families.
BBC never ceases to amaze me. BBC has managed to pepper a story about a wedding (agree with everything that was said about it) with pictures of slums and railway tracks! And to question whether there was love involved in someone else’s (and you don’t know them) wedding …that is a new low
The royal wedding of Uk doesn't work as soft power and business strategy??
But when Indians do it everybody has some sort of problem......("a day without hypocrisy in Europe is day wasted")

BBC and the jealousy people got triggered because even the richest kings old days or the Buckingham Palace couldn't effort such an expensive wedding. If you are talking about their genuinely loved yes they are childhood friends. dont be so jealous about someones success
What is an idea behind making a personal family event into an international event. People used to get married to enjoy life together socially acceptable and add to family tree. It was an occasion of joy because it was an important event for married people and their families to start as one. Some fun and happiness oriented events were normal to celebrate.Well, agree or not it was never intended to showcase wealth except oh well except when question of dowry came in picture. I understand in old traditions in some cultures girls were virtually sold. I am glad for all privileged, wealthy, social elites who can enjoy these extravaganzas. For poor once again reminder how unlucky you are. So social divide and rich people's tool to remind not so privileged how blessed they are. It is obvious what were personal and family events are becoming more and more to establish ever high position for lucky, rich and privileged. With the time what should be less and less social divide has become more and more evident. May be we wait for thousand years to see if things change.
Marriage is all about friends and relatives and celebration of 2 souls but as an Indian myself I can say that this wedding (event) was merely an ostentation of their wealth and more than half of those guests were not even related to them or met for the first time 😂😂. They just teased their fellow Indians by showing all this show off and opulence and to make them feel how Poor and unpreveiliged they are. Interestingly they even raised their tarrifs of their telecom business to it's customers right in the middle of this ugly show off 😂. They dont even participate in charity towards needy people . What a stark contrast between them and Indian Philosophy 😢
800 million below poverty?? Where are you getting these figures bro ?? 😂
Government data. Government gives subsidies to 800 million Indians as free ration. You cañ get that only when you are below extreme poverty. That means their earning is less than 6,000 rupees a month. So 800 million Indians still earn below 6000 rupees a month. India has got a century to catch up with developed economies as per quality of living index is concerned.
That data is skewed. Hasn't been updated in years. Half the people won't consume the government rice since it's sub standard.@@itsmeitoldyouthat1448

I agree filthy rich people have their own right to spend as much as they like. That is their personal taste. My perception is why not they donate some money to the orphanage, old age home where senior citizens aged above 80 years old are not treated with good meals medical facilities. These people doesn't have humanity at all. Will they carry all the wealth when they kick the bucket. To hell with such show off guys.
