Days after his wedding to Radhika Merchant, which took place in mid-July, the family of Indian billionaire and the second richest man in Asia, Mukesh Ambani, traveled to France to attend the Paris 2024 Olympics. Anant and Radhika were spotted by paparazzi wandering the streets of Paris as they exited the hotel where they were staying and visited the global brand store, Hermes. Another video shows father Mukesh Ambani with his daughter Isha Ambani in the capital, where the Ambani family went to support Indian athletes participating in the Paris 2024 Olympics.
In contrast, many reacted to the video, which garnered over 2 million likes, with some noting that happiness did not seem evident on the couple's faces, while others commented on the wealthy groom's health issues related to being overweight, expressing sympathy by stating that "money cannot buy health." Activists noted that Anant has struggled with weight since childhood and has previously spoken about the topic, even during his wedding celebrations.
It is noted that Mukesh Ambani's youngest son has suffered from severe asthma and has been using asthma and cortisone medications since he was a child. Ten years ago, Anant began a healthy diet aiming for weight loss and managed to lose 108 kilograms, reaching a weight of 88 kilograms, only to gain weight again in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic.
It is worth mentioning that the wedding of the youngest son of Asia’s richest man, Mukesh Ambani, became a landmark event in the world of extravagant celebrations, with announced costs totaling $600 million and lasting seven months. Mukesh Ambani, 66, is ranked as the ninth richest person in the world, with a net worth of $116 billion, according to Forbes magazine.
