"The Ambani wedding had its fair share of cuisine, but they also did Indian food and Indian street food very well. The food was fantastic. I had a short stay...I would love to go back and be able to try some more Indian food," he told news agency ANI over a Zoom video call.

“The level of spice was just enough for me, just enough to break a small sweat. So I can't wait to try to test my spice meter when I come back. I look forward to returning soon.”

The American celebrity's presence added to the star value of the big fat wedding which had other global personalities such as Kim Kardashian and Khloe Kardashian in attendance, apart from top Indian actors and Bollywood A-listers.

Anant Ambani, the younger son of Mukesh and Nita Ambani, married Radhika Merchant on July 12. The wedding was a culmination of extravagant pre-wedding celebrations this year in India and abroad. The week leading up to the wedding also saw a string of ceremonies in Mumbai, including a sangeet that had pop star Justin Bieber performing for guests.
