The ceremony saw see key roads in the city sealed off for several hours a day until all festivities end on Monday, July 15. According to The New York Times, the public was generally accepting of the lavish affair. “Based on the level of the Ambani’s wealth, the wedding is perfect,” said Mani Mohan Parmar, a 64-year-old resident from Mumbai, told the newspaper. “Even the common man here in India spends more than his capacity on a wedding… So it’s nothing too much if we talk about Ambani. He has so much money due to God’s grace, so why shouldn’t he spend it by his choice?”
