Mumbai (Pakistan News Online) Mukesh Ambani, the renowned Indian business magnate and owner of Reliance Industries, spared no expense for his son Anant Ambani’s wedding. The extravagant celebration saw international artists being flown in, costing millions. However, when it came to gifting his employees, the outcome was quite underwhelming, leading to the saying “all show, no substance” coming true.
Details of the Lavish Spending:
- Mukesh Ambani showered guests with luxurious gifts at the wedding. Friends of the groom received watches worth INR 2 crore and gold chains were also distributed among other guests.
- The Ambani family expressed their gratitude to their close Bollywood friends, including Shah Rukh Khan and Ranveer Singh, by gifting them expensive watches valued at INR 2 crore each.
- Other attendees were gifted with items from the French luxury brand Louis Vuitton, gold chains, designer footwear, silver brooches, comfortable nightwear, special sunrise candles, and Banarasi and Kashmiri sarees.
Employee Gifts:
- While the guests received opulent presents, the employees were given a much less extravagant gift. Social media was abuzz with images and videos shared by Reliance employees showing the red gift box they received.
- The box, with a note reading, “With the blessings of our deities, we celebrate Anant and Radhika’s wedding. Best wishes, Nita and Mukesh Ambani,” contained four packets of snacks from the popular Indian brand Haldiram’s, a box of sweets, and a silver coin.
- The snack packets included Haldiram’s Aloo Bhujia Sev and Light Chiwda.

Social Media Reaction:
- Social media users expressed their disappointment and anger over the stark contrast in gifts. Many questioned why high-profile guests received expensive gifts while the employees were given relatively inexpensive snacks and sweets.
- The sentiment was summed up by one user who commented, “Expensive gifts for the elite and just snacks for the employees?”
In conclusion, while Mukesh Ambani’s generosity towards high-profile guests was evident, the disparity in the gifts given to employees has sparked criticism and raised questions about the fairness and value of recognizing all contributors to the success of the Ambani empire.
