In a recent Instagram post, Nauman defended the extravagant wedding festivities and said the Ambanis were spending their own money so let them 'enjoy' it. He also advised those who were criticising the Ambani family to pray that one day they become rich enough to have such a wedding themselves. “One thing I can't understand is who are you to criticise Ambani's wedding,” he wrote along with a photo of himself laughing.

If you don't like it then ignore it

He said, “Happiness is theirs, marriage is theirs, money is theirs, enjoyment is theirs, we are sitting so far away and criticizing their happiness and money (far away)…. Why are you so worried? If you don’t like him (Ambani) being happy then just ignore… Naqaye Ehtaaz and giving opinion is farz ha…. Relax friends… Pray Allah makes you so rich that you can afford such a wedding (stop commenting and pray that you become so rich that you can afford such a wedding).”

He wrote on Instagram Stories on Wednesday, “Itni der toh aaj kal rishte nahi chalte…jitne inke function chalte hai (These days relationships don’t last as long as their wedding functions do.
