Sania Mirza shows up at star-studded wedding of Anant Ambani

Mumbai is witnessing the lavish wedding festivities for Anant Ambani, the youngest son of Asia's richest man, with a star-studded guest list including Hollywood celebrities and global business leaders. 

Besides all the VIP and dazzling celebrities, former Indian professional tennis player Sania Mirza also showed up at a "blessing" ceremony, one of the events during the four-day wedding extravaganza.

The 37-year-old was all dolled up in a red two-piece outfit for Saturday's affair that took place in the Indian metropolis by the sea.

Sania looked absolutely gorgeous in a heavily embellished dress, paired with a green and pearl traditional choker set. With her hair tied in a slick back bun, the sportswoman opted for a neutral face palette.

"Ready for it," Sania wrote in the caption dotted with a red heart and sparkle emoji to refer to the glittering event.

Anant and his fiancee Radhika Merchant, both 29, have tied the knot following months of pre-marriage parties that have set a new benchmark in matrimonial extravagance.

This weekend's celebrations end Sunday with a reception party, and cap months of extravagant pre-wedding festivities.

Billionaire tycoon Mukesh Ambani is famous for hosting lavish parties, especially for his three children Akash, Isha and Anant. International artists perform and a host of Bollywood stars usually attend the gatherings, whose price tag runs into the millions.

This promises to be the most extravagant of Ambani's galas so far, although it is not known how much was spent.

Besides all the renowned Bollywood star, big and small, Anant's wedding festivities are being attended by local and international celebrities and politicians, such as Kim Kardashian, Mike Tyson, Tony Blair and Boris Johnson.
