“The Ambani wedding is no longer just a wedding; it’s turned into a circus.”
Her commentary highlighted the excessive opulence of the event, which she found more fascinating to observe from a distance rather than participate in.
Despite receiving invitations to some of the events, she declined, attributing the invitations to PR motives.

Aaliyah didn’t shy away from critiquing specific aspects of the wedding, like inviting Justin Bieber for Rs 84 crore!
She notably Justin Bieber’s performance at the sangeet ceremony. She expressed her bewilderment at the extravagance, remarking,
“It’s as if they had extra money lying around and decided, ‘Let’s call JUSTIN BIEBER.'”
The Canadian pop star, reportedly charging a staggering Rs 84 crore, performed his chart-topping hits to the delight of the attendees. This display of wealth, according to Aaliyah, exemplified the excessive nature of the celebrations, transforming what should be a personal and meaningful event into a spectacle of opulence.

“Aliyah Kashyap (Anurag Kashyap’s daughter) talks about the PR involved in the Ambani wedding on her Instagram channel. Influencers are being invited to promote wedding.
Although this is hard to digest. They don’t need the PR thing to promote the wedding + it also takes away the exclusivity factor involved that makes it all desirable.
If this is being done I would call it big PR blunder.”

Many netizens concurred with the bold opinion of Aaliyah Kashyap
Absolutly the Ambani family is showing his richness, we can say they are just waisting money, and
so many सेलिब्रिटीज अपनी अपनी कला भांड की तरह दिखा रहें हैँ miss kashyap is very bold to say like this. This is showing cheep type dances on the stage.— yichungchai (@YichungchaiG) July 10, 2024
So actually…as they say..filthy rich people..they could have helped a few people get jobs ..given them earnings …giving a dawat(was that a show off!!) to a few poor doesn’t make any effect to their lives!!
And why are they spending so.much..is it not clear!!!— V B (@VB77549189) July 10, 2024
Its ridiculous to show of like this in modern times. Who cares about this other than Ambani family as well as some of the rich associated with them. They do mass marriage to show that they care poor, but the truth is that they just want to exploit that situation. Its stupid

Such extravagance is to continue for a few more days. Anant and Radhika’s wedding celebrations will conclude with a traditional ceremony on July 12 in Mumbai, followed by an ‘Ashirwad’ ceremony on July 13 and a grand reception on July 14.
