Dubai-based Indian millionaire Yogesh Mehta has just spent a whooping £14million on his son Rohan Mehta’s wedding in Florence, Italy.

Yogesh, also called Yogi, took to Twitter to break the news last week:



A grand wedding or a happy marriage, what’s more important?

Rohan Mehta reportedly married Roshni — a London-raised owner of a fashion company — in the company of over 500 guests in a lavish ceremony.

KhanSahab | 8 years ago | Reply You all who are opposing this wedding expenses, write all the posts relating to hunger and poverty to your own govts. On their websites, on their Facebook and Twitter accounts. It's not his duty to do it. He worked for himself and his family, and who knows he might have or helping poor too, some does help behind the scences. Edhi foundation is running on donations from rich people not govts. Congrats him instead rather whinning.
