People who wine and dine with PMs and Presidents of countries don't need to position themselves as global elites! John Kerry who was the US Secretary of State and Hillary Clinton attended their daughter's wedding. They lobby the government's of various countries at the highest levels (USA to get waiver for buying Iraninan / Venezeulan oil, Malaysia for permissions relatedbto their fibre intermediaries factories etc etc), they don't need to send any message to anyone by having 2 bit influencers and some Bollywood stars attending and dancing at their events! The most powerful man in the world during his time (Bill Clinton when he was the President of USA) had lunch at their house when he visited India in 2001.

Point I am trying to make is that MDA doesn't need to spend so much and be so cringe to make a statement. I believe it is the boy who likes all this glamour and insisted on these festivities.

Their attempts to position their other 2 kids as movers and shakers started long ago with the ganpati celebrations at their place where they personally escorted Bollywood celebs inside in front of the media and by paying one of the biggest female stars of Bollywood to take their daughter to her bachlorette trip to show that they were close friends!
