The tech mogul, known for his philanthropy and global influence, revealed with a laugh, as reported by Hindustan Times, “I’m starting at the top." He continued, "It’ll be hard to go to another Indian wedding after this one. I know the family and actually organised my visit so that I could attend. I went and got fitted for clothes, so it’ll be a fun thing to do.”
The pre-wedding festivities, spanning three days, have already garnered attention for their opulence and star-studded guest list. Attendees include not only business tycoons but also Bollywood celebrities like the Khans, Bachchans, and Kapoors.
