An Indian tech billionaire’s spectacular wedding at a palace featured in a James Bond film has left jaws dropping around the world.
Jennifer Lopez performed at the lavish wedding of Indian billionaire heir Netra Mantena that also featured a 15ft wedding cake in the shape of a mini palace.
Netra, the daughter of Indian pharmaceutical bigwig Rama Raju Mantena, married tech entrepreneur Vamsi Gadiraju in an opulent wedding near the Taj Lake Palace in Udaipur this week, which featured in the 1983 James Bond film Octopussy.Â
JLo served as both a guest and performer at the lavish nuptials – believed to cost close to $6.7 million – while Donald Jr and his socialite squeeze Bettina Anderson also attended.Â
Other celebrity guests included a host of Bollywood A-listers, such as actor Ram Charan, British singer and actress Sophie Choudry, and Nora Fatehi.Â
Lopez left little to the imagination as she took to the stage in a variety of skimpy ensembles to perform her many hits, including Waiting for Tonight and On The Floor, while revellers were seen dancing to her chart-topping songs.Â
At one point, the 56-year-old almost spilled out of her plunging flesh-toned leotard during a rigorous dance routine.Â
She also slipped into a skintight semi-sheer black bodysuit with a G-string backside that gave guests an ample view of her famous curves.Â

The wedding featured a lavish cake shaped like a palace
Before taking to the stage, the American singer was photographed with the newlyweds wearing an embellished saree and emerald jewels.Â
The couple’s cake-cutting ceremony featured an all-white multi-tiered cake that appeared to resemble a mini palace, and was even sculpted with elephants, tigers and cascading flowers.Â
The custom-made cake was made by Paris-based luxury cake designer and pastry chef Bastien Blanc-Tailleu, Indian media reports. Â
Footage of the cake circulated on social media, with Internet users marvelling at its craftsmanship.
But the alleged $6.7 million cost of the luxury wedding sparked some anger, with locals criticising the happy couple’s ‘sheer wastage of money’, according to local reports.Â
Netra’s wedding has drawn significant attention, not just for its scale, but for the number of celebrity guests and high-profile people in attendance.Â
The celebrations, which were attended by the world’s elites, also showcased performances and appearances from major Bollywood stars including Ranveer Singh, Madhuri Dixit, Kriti Sanon, Shahid Kapoor, Nora Fatehi, Jacqueline Fernandez and Karan Johar.
Business leaders, Hollywood stars and political figures were also pictured checking into Udaipur’s luxury hotels in the lead up to the lavish wedding.
The father of the bride is billionaire Rama Raju Mantena, the CEO of Ingenus Pharmaceuticals. He oversees a portfolio that includes multinational healthcare ventures in the US, Switzerland and India.Â

They couldn’t keep their hands off each other throughout most of the nuptials, with Bettina throwing her arms around a grinning Don Jr at one point.Â
Images showed the couple grooving on the dance floor as JLo performed. Â
MAGA insiders recently told the Daily Mail that there could be wedding bells for Don Jr and Bettina soon.
‘Don is in love with Bettina,’ one insider said, ‘He is telling friends “This is the woman I love.”
‘His dad loves her. They all feel she is classy and has an impeccable fashion sense,’ the source continued.Â
‘Don brought her to the most high profile White House gala so proudly.’
The Indian wedding has drawn comparisons to the Ambani wedding in 2024, when billionaire Mukesh Ambani’s youngest son married Radhika Merchant in a lavish ceremony attended by the Kardashians, Bill Gates and Boris Johnson.Â

A separate post noted that the product is ‘powered by advanced tetrapeptides + hyaluronic acid’.
‘This hydrogel mask is your 15-minute secret to refreshed, luminous, camera-ready eyes. Get yours before they’re gone,’ the social media post urged.
Another recent post plugged Beso Balm, calling it a ‘fall essential’ and ‘the ultimate lip glow for any season’.
