A report by Outlook suggested that while an expense of ₹4,000-5,000 crore could seem overwhelming, the Ambani family spends a lesser percentage of their net worth on their children's weddings than the average Indian family.

Any Indian family spends around 5% to 15% of their total wealth on weddings, while the Anant Ambani-Radhika Merchant wedding was only around 0.5% of the Ambani family's net worth.

Before their wedding, the couple hosted two pre-wedding ceremonies. The first took place in Jamnagar, Gujarat, and the second was held on a cruise in Italy. Both events were attended by a diverse array of guests, including world leaders and celebrities, adding to the grandeur of their wedding festivities.
