Hillary Clinton and John Kerry were spotted dancing to Bollywood music at a party celebrating the wedding of Isha Ambani and Anand Piramal.

Ms Clinton and Mr Kerry, both former US secretaries of state, are just two of the big names who have jetted in for the wedding of the daughter of India’s richest man.

Beyonce performed at the pre-wedding celebrations on December 9.

In video footage from the pre-wedding celebrations, Hillary Clinton and John Kerry can be seen dancing on a stage to bhangra music along with other guests.

She can then be seen dancing alongside 'King of Bollywood' Shah Rukh Khan before holding hands and dancing with a female guest.

According to the Guardian, the Clintons have known the Ambani family for almost 20 years and have met both in India and overseas.

Isha Ambani, 27, is set to marry Anand Piramal, 33, the founder of Piramal Realty, one of the country’s most admired real estate companies.

Guests to the wedding have an app which tells them where each celebration is being held.

The Indian media noted that the actual Ambani wedding, in Mumbai, was expected to be a relatively small affair, with just 600 or so people in attendance. More parties will follow the marriage ceremony.

Antilla, the Ambanis' 27-story Mumbai home, has been strung with lights for the wedding, looking like a small skyscraper at night. The family is said to have reserved hundreds of hotel rooms for their guests.

Isha Ambani's father, Mukesh Ambani, is estimated to be worth $43 billion.

The Ambani fortune stretches across a range of industries, from petroleum to chemicals to mobile phones. They control the conglomerate Reliance Industries.

The groom, Anand Piramal, is the relative pauper. His father, industrialist Ajay Piramal, is thought to be worth $10 billion.

The Piramal family businesses include pharmaceuticals and real estate.
