WATCH: Nita Ambani lands in Varanasi; hits up Kashi Vishwanath Temple before Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant’s big fat wedding bash

Get ready for some wedding bells, Bollywood lovers! The grandest wedding of the year is about to unfold, and it all started with a divine blessing. Yes, you heard it right!

Nita Ambani’s Divine Invitation to Lord Shiva in Varanasi

Oh, the lengths people will go to for a grand wedding! And when it’s the Ambani family, you know it’s going to be nothing short of spectacular. Nita Ambani, the queen bee of the Reliance hive, was spotted at the crack of dawn on June 24, 2024, at the holy Kashi Vishwanath Temple in Varanasi. Why, you ask? To personally hand-deliver the first wedding invitation to Lord Shiva himself! Yes, folks, even gods get a VIP invite from the Ambanis. 🙏

On a sacred Monday, which is basically Lord Shiva’s day off, Mrs. Ambani decided to follow the age-old Indian tradition. The first wedding card of her son Anant Ambani and his bride-to-be Radhika Merchant was offered to the divine feet of Bholenath. In a heartfelt moment captured by ANI, Nita Ambani shared, "Right now, I’m going for the darshan of Bholenath and after that, I will perform ‘Ganga Aarti’ so I am very excited. Today, I have brought the invitation letter of my Anant and Radhika’s wedding to offer in the feet of the lord."

The Spectacular Wedding of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant

Mark your calendars for July 12, folks, because that’s when Anant and Radhika will tie the knot at Mumbai’s opulent Jio World Centre. But wait, there’s more! The pre-wedding festivities are rolling out like sequels to a blockbuster movie. The third round of celebrations kicks off in the first week of July, and the Sangeet is scheduled for July at the Grand Theatre of the newly launched Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre.

Sangeet’s theme? "Celebration of hearts" – because what’s a wedding without some melodramatic flair? Expect a night filled with song, dance, and enough glitter to blind you. Dress code: Indian regional glam, because why not?

Post-wedding, on July 13, there’s a "Shubh Aashirwad" ceremony where guests can flaunt their Indian formal attire. And just when you thought they were done, the grand finale is set for July 14 with a "Mangal Utsav" – basically, a wedding reception where everyone will be strutting in Indian chic.

But let’s keep it real. Will this wedding top Isha Ambani’s 2018 nuptials, which cost a whopping 7 billion rupees? Only time will tell. 💸

Nisha’s Nutshell

So, what’s the takeaway here? If you want your wedding to be as grand as the Ambanis’, make sure to invite the gods first. Also, have a bottomless pit of money. But remember, no matter how grand your wedding is, you’ll always be competing with the Ambanis. Good luck with that! 😜
