He also admired the food, which was one of the highlights of the wedding. Speaking about the cuisine, the wrestler said, “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, which means I would like to go back and try some Indian food. 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.”
