The sangeet, a pre-wedding musical function, was a star-studded event featuring performances by Bollywood A-listers like Salman Khan, Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh. The haldi ceremony, a pre-wedding ritual involving turmeric paste, also reportedly saw a bevvy of celebrities in attendance.

The guest list for the wedding itself is a veritable who's who of India's business, entertainment, and political circles. Beyond Indian celebrities, global stars like the Kardashian sisters have also arrived in Mumbai for the wedding.

This high-profile wedding marks the culmination of four months of extravagant pre-wedding celebrations. The festivities kicked off in March at Jamnagar, Gujarat, featuring performances by global stars like Rihanna, Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, Aamir Khan, Akshay Kumar, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Deepika Padukone, and Alia Bhatt.

In June, the celebrations went international with a luxury cruise across Italy and the South of France. Guests were treated to performances by the Backstreet Boys, Katy Perry, and Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli. Last week, singer-songwriter Justin Bieber set the stage on fire at the sangeet ceremony held in Mumbai.

The wedding itself will take place on Friday, July 12, at the Jio World Convention Center in Mumbai, followed by multi-day dinner receptions. The guest list promises to be a star-studded affair, with reports suggesting the attendance of several international celebrities, business leaders, and political figures.

Expected attendees include former UK Prime Ministers Boris Johnson and Tony Blair, futurist Peter Diamandis, artist Jeff Koons, self-help coach Jay Shetty, former US Secretary of State John Kerry, and former Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper.
