In a video that has gone viral on social media, Ambani raised a toast to the couple and said that he looked forward to celebrating with the newlyweds in-person soon.  

Wishing the couple, Ambani said, "In that point in time, we can give you a hug, wish you the very best and I'm sure that time is not very far off. I look forward to seeing you and all your friends, this is the same set of people we met at Gleneagles. I hope we don't allow you to go so easily with a virtual piece. Like your best man said, you better shell out all the money."
