PARIS (AP) — Fresh off the year's most extravagant wedding, Nita Ambani inaugurated the India House for the Paris Olympics on Saturday.

“Today we gather here at the Paris Olympic Games 2024 to open the doors to a dream. A dream that belongs to 1.4 billion Indians. A dream to bring India to the Olympics and our shared dream to bring the Olympics to India,” Ambani, an International Olympic Committee member, said in her address.
