Udaipur, November 6, 2025 — India’s royal city of lakes witnessed yet another record-breaking spectacle this week as the Hinduja family, one of the world’s wealthiest business dynasties, hosted a ₹150 crore wedding extravaganza that blended old-world grandeur with global glamour.
The multi-day celebration, held across Udaipur’s most iconic palaces and luxury resorts, drew top industrialists, Bollywood stars, and international dignitaries — but the undisputed highlight was a show-stopping performance by global pop icon Jennifer Lopez.
A Royal Affair in the City of Lakes
Set against the shimmering backdrop of Lake Pichola, the wedding festivities spanned three days of meticulously themed events — from Sufi nights and mehndi cruises to a palace sangeet under a million lights.
The ceremonies were hosted across the Taj Lake Palace, The Oberoi Udaivilas, and the City Palace grounds, each transformed into a cinematic wonderland of floral installations, chandeliers, and live performances.
“It was like stepping into a modern-day royal fairytale,” said one guest. “Every detail — from the cuisine to the couture — was crafted to perfection.”
Jennifer Lopez Brings Hollywood to Udaipur
The highlight of the grand sangeet night was an electrifying live performance by Jennifer Lopez, who reportedly charged over ₹25 crore for the private concert.
Dressed in a shimmering gold ensemble designed by Falguni Shane Peacock, JLo performed some of her biggest hits — On the Floor, Let’s Get Loud, and Dance Again — turning the regal courtyard into a full-fledged dance floor.
“She brought the house down,” said a guest. “It was pure energy — a once-in-a-lifetime performance.”
The event also featured fusion acts blending Bollywood choreography and Western pop, symbolizing the family’s global cultural ties.
Who’s Who at the Hinduja Celebration
The guest list read like a who’s who of India’s elite and global business circle.
Spotted at the event were:
Mukesh and Nita Ambani
Amitabh Bachchan
Karan Johar
Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh
UK business magnate Lakshmi Mittal
Global dignitaries from London and Dubai
Many arrived in chartered flights, with Udaipur airport handling over 70 private jets in just two days.
Opulence Meets Heritage
The wedding décor, led by Abu Jani–Sandeep Khosla’s design team, reflected a fusion of traditional Rajasthani art and European luxury aesthetics.
Floral setups featured imported orchids from the Netherlands, while custom chandeliers were flown in from Italy.
The catering combined Michelin-star chefs with authentic Marwari thalis, ensuring a culinary experience that matched the grandeur.
Guests received personalized welcome hampers worth ₹1.5 lakh each, including artisanal perfumes, Pichwai art keepsakes, and custom monogrammed pashminas.
Economic Boost for Udaipur
While the Hinduja wedding set social media ablaze with its glamour, it also provided a significant boost to the local economy.
Event planners estimate that the celebrations generated over ₹25 crore in local spending, benefiting Udaipur’s hospitality, transport, and artisan sectors.
“Weddings like this are not just private celebrations — they’re economic events,” said Rajiv Arora, President of the Rajasthan Tourism Council. “They showcase India’s luxury tourism potential to the world.”
A New Benchmark for Indian Weddings
The Hinduja family, known for their business empire spanning finance, energy, and manufacturing, have long been patrons of Indian culture and philanthropy.
This wedding, insiders say, was as much a celebration of heritage as it was of modern India’s global confidence.
“The Hindujas wanted to create something timeless — not just extravagant,” a family associate said. “It’s a statement of tradition meeting the world stage.”
Celebrity Weddings: The New Power Symbol
In recent years, destination weddings in India have become symbols of influence and identity, blending Bollywood-style spectacle with royal luxury.
From Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas’s Jodhpur nuptials to the Ambani weddings in Mumbai, the Hinduja event now joins the ranks of India’s most opulent celebrations ever.
With ₹150 crore spent, global media attention, and Hollywood participation, the Hinduja wedding has set a new gold standard for Indian luxury — one that blurs the line between family celebration and international showpiece.
Final Takeaway
Beyond the glitter and glamour, the Hinduja wedding represents India’s evolving narrative of wealth, culture, and celebration.
It’s not just a wedding — it’s a reflection of India’s place on the world’s luxury map, where palaces, pop stars, and prosperity come together to tell one unforgettable story.
