According to reports, wedding festivities will begin this weekend and guests will be treated to a private concert by Beyonce. The American singers, as well as other Bollywood celebrities and politicians, will be flown into Udaipur on 100 chartered flights.


"The event will have many visitors from abroad, so customs and immigration counters have been set up at the airport and will remain active for the next five days," an airport source told Reuters.

Isha Ambani, 27, will marry Anand Piramal, 33, in Mumbai on Tuesday (11).

Wedding festivities kicked off with an Anna Seva, where the Ambani family fed 5,100 people, majority of them with special needs.

Family members such as  Mukesh and Nita Ambani, Ajay and Swati Piramal, Isha Ambani and Anand Piramal served people food and interacted with them.

Isha Ambani got engaged to Anand Piramal in September at Lake Como in Italy. The couple had a lavish engagement ceremony that was attended by several Bollywood stars.

The wedding will bring together two of the most influential families in India. As per Forbes magazine, Mukesh, the chairman of Reliance Industries, has a net worth of $47 billion, and Ajay Piramal's net worth is estimated to be $4.6 billion.
