We also found the same visuals in a report shared by News18 on 31 October 2023 and it mentioned that this was a cake brought in a wedding function.
Conclusion: Although we could not independently confirm the location of the video, it is clear that it is old and unrelated to the recent pre-wedding event of the Ambani family.
