Certainly shows the gap between super rich and poor. Too much greed, opulence and arrogance just for a wedding...

This is disgusting so much money and people and children in India live in poverty and slums.
Shameful.

The kind of extravagance only made possible when the people paying the bill are mega rich AND those around them live in extreme poverty. Bargain!

Those western celebrities unashamedly took the money that could have been used to help the poor in India. Anyway that's India caste system (human rights?) where the poor are oppressed by the rich. Ver shameful.

“The amount of money spent on this wedding could provide a house for every family in Mumbai.

Disgusting in a world not far from their door where children are starving

[tomsimpson]

Must be nice to be a slob and get all that money for doing nothing

[punjabiclass]

Son's that defend the country at the borders are forgotten about. The rich send their sons to USA to study. Some mothers pray for the growth, safety and protection of India. Some mothers spend millions on lavish weddings

[yoya]

Those making comments about wealth gap know f'all about the country, and are jealous. So trot along.

Whether it is Ambani's wedding or a poor farmer's wedding, it makes no difference to the God's creation. All either a fistful ash or will be a food for worms in ground. Remember this. a poor farmer can live without Ambani. Ambani cannot live without a farmer.
