Oh, Mumbai! The city is practically buzzing with excitement. Once again, the Ambanis are throwing a bash, and this time it’s for the youngest prince of the empire, Anant Ambani, who is all set to marry the lovely Radhika Merchant. And as always, Bollywood Newshound Nisha is here to spill the chai!
Alright, grab your popcorn 🍿 because this is going to be one glitzy affair. Anant Ambani, the baby of the Ambani dynasty, and Radhika Merchant, the heiress of the Merchant empire, are tying the knot. But wait, there’s more! The Ambanis are not just hosting a wedding; they’re throwing another round of pre-wedding festivities. Because why not? When you’re an Ambani, one party is never enough.
Now, here’s where things get interesting. Mukesh and Nita Ambani are planning a mass wedding for the underprivileged on July 2 at the Swami Vivekanand Vidyamandir in Palghar. Talk about blending grandiosity with charity! 🎉
Oh, and if you missed it, the wedding invitation went viral recently. Yep, the kind that makes you feel like you’re peeking into the royal court. The event will be at the swanky Jio World Convention Centre in BKC, Mumbai. Imagine the sparkle, the glamour, the sheer opulence! ✨
And because Nita Ambani never misses a beat, she visited the Kashi Vishwanath Temple to offer the first wedding invite to Lord Shiva. I mean, why not start with divine blessings when you’re planning a wedding that could put the Oscars to shame?
The main ceremonies kick off on July 12 with the Shubh Vivah. Sources say guests are encouraged to go all out in traditional Indian attire. So, time to dust off those lehengas and sherwanis, folks!
The fun continues on July 13 with Shubh Aashirwad and wraps up with Mangal Utsav on July 14. Guests are asked to dress in ‘Indian chic,’ whatever that means. Clearly, the Ambanis have a fashion sense that’s light years ahead of us mere mortals.
In case you didn’t know, Radhika Merchant is the daughter of Encore Healthcare CEO Viren Merchant and entrepreneur Shaila Merchant. So, this is basically a merger of two industrialist dynasties. Move over, all other weddings; this is the union of the year!
Earlier this year, the couple hosted pre-wedding festivities in Jamnagar. The guest list was so celebrity filled, you’d think it was the Met Gala. From business moguls to Hollywood and Bollywood bigwigs, everyone was there.
Oh, and did I mention the guests? Mark Zuckerberg, Bill Gates, Ivanka Trump. Casual, right? And the cherry on top was a performance by none other than Rihanna! Yes, you read that right—Rihanna made her India debut at their pre-wedding bash. 🌟
The theme? ‘A Walk on the Wildside’ with ‘jungle fever.’ Followed by ‘Mela Rouge,’ a celebration of South Asian culture. Because why stick to one theme when you can have multiple?
To top it all off, illusionist David Blaine left everyone spellbound with his magic tricks, while Diljit Dosanjh had the crowd grooving at the sangeet. It was, in one word, legendary.
Nisha’s Nutshell:
When the Ambanis plan a wedding, they don’t just invite guests; they invite the world. From divine blessings to Rihanna’s debut, there’s no such thing as too much glamour. So, if you’re not an Ambani or a Merchant, remember: you’re just a guest in their world of opulence. Moral of the story? Aim high, but don’t forget to book David Blaine for your next party. 🎩🪄
