More than 100 chartered flights brought guests to Udaipur’s sleepy airport, a source on the spot, who declined to be identified, said.

Bollywood stars, including actress Priyanka Chopra, who just married singer Nick Jonas in what was a big fat Indian wedding, is also attending.

Indian media suggested that the guest list will include former US President Bill Clinton as well as his wife and Democratic candidate in the 2016 presidential election, Hillary Clinton, who was pictured with Mukesh Ambani after her arrival in Udaipur on Saturday.

“The event will have many visitors from abroad, so customs and immigration counters have been set up at the airport and will remain active for the next five days,” the airport source said on Friday.
