Do not ignore cultural differences. If you see such an activity as a job, then you would arrive at a conclusion like yours.

In India, it's common for hosts to serve food as a sign of respect to their guests. Close friends and family of hosts also join. This only showed the closeness of the relationships among Mukesh and other stars. Seeing it as a subservient act isn't accurate, no big star would sign up if it were so.

To give another example, often times, the servers for these weddings aren't people you pay but rather your close friends and family.

This is correct. I'm not Indian but my wife is and I've observed it many times as an insider "outsider".
