As Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant prepare to marry on July 12, the festivities are in full swing. Mukesh Ambani, Chairman of Reliance Industries, his wife Nita, and their family, including Akash with Shloka, Anant, Radhika, Isha with Anand Piramal, attended the 'mameru' ceremony. This Gujarati tradition involves the bride's maternal uncle bringing sweets and gifts. The Ambani home was adorned with red, pink, and orange flowers, complemented by golden lights, and featured a digital screen with caricatures of the couple wishing them 'All the best.' Music composer Anu Malik was also present. Radhika dazzled in an intricately embroidered lehenga, accessorized with traditional jhumkas, maang-tikka, and a neckpiece.
The highly anticipated wedding of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant is scheduled for July 12 at the Jio World Convention Centre in Mumbai. A notable aspect of the wedding is the inclusion of a chaat stall from Kashi Chaat Bhandaar in Varanasi. Nita Ambani, founder of the Reliance Foundation, recently visited Varanasi to seek blessings at the Kashi Vishwanath Temple and personally invited the shop owner after sampling the chaats. In a gesture of generosity, Mukesh and Nita Ambani organized a mass wedding for the underprivileged on July 2. The wedding invitation has already gone viral, offering a peek into the high-profile preparations.
The wedding festivities are carefully planned, following traditional Hindu Vedic customs. The main ceremonies start on July 12 with the Shubh Vivah, encouraging guests to wear traditional Indian attire. The celebrations continue on July 13 with Shubh Aashirwad, and conclude on July 14 with the Mangal Utsav reception. Guests have been requested to dress in 'Indian chic.' Radhika Merchant, daughter of Encore Healthcare CEO Viren Merchant and entrepreneur Shaila Merchant, is set to join the Ambani family, uniting two influential industrial families. Earlier this year, the couple hosted lavish pre-wedding events in Jamnagar, attended by global celebrities and business leaders, including Mark Zuckerberg, Bill Gates, and Ivanka Trump. The highlight was a performance by pop star Rihanna, her first in India. The three-day event also featured illusionist David Blaine and a sangeet performance by Bollywood stars and family members, including a special appearance by Diljit Dosanjh.
