It appears that Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant’s pre-wedding celebrations are far from over. Following the extravagant three-day festivities in Gujarat’s Jamnagar, Mukesh Ambani and Nita Ambani are reportedly preparing to host a second pre-wedding celebration, promising another round of grandeur and luxury.
The initial celebration in Jamnagar was a magnificent affair, attended by nearly 1,200 guests, including notable figures such as Meta founder Mark Zuckerberg, Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates, global pop icon Rihanna, cricket legends Sachin Tendulkar and MS Dhoni, and Bollywood stars like Shah Rukh Khan, Alia Bhatt, and Katrina Kaif. This event set a high standard for luxury and exclusivity.
Radhika Merchant shared with Vogue the significance of selecting Jamnagar for their initial pre-wedding festivities: “Choosing Jamnagar was our way of honoring our roots and the family’s legacy. It’s where Anant works [at Vantara] and where we spend much of our time, away from the hustle and bustle of city life. It is also where Anant’s grandmother, Kokilaben, was born and truly where our heart is.”
Reports indicate that the second pre-wedding celebration will take place from May 28 to May 30, 2024. This time, the Ambani family will host around 800 guests on a luxurious cruise that will travel 4,380 km over three days, departing from Italy and concluding in southern France.
The guest list for the second pre-wedding bash is as impressive as the first. Bollywood’s three Khans—Salman, Shah Rukh, and Aamir—along with Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt, are expected to attend. In addition to the 800 guests, 600 hospitality staff will be on board to ensure that every need is met. This event promises to be another showcase of the Ambani family’s dedication to grandeur and meticulous planning.
The luxurious cruise will set sail from Italy and head towards the southern coast of France, offering guests an unparalleled experience. The event will cover a distance of 4,380 km, featuring lavish meals, entertainment, and breathtaking views of the Mediterranean.
The grand wedding of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant is set for July 2024 in London. The couple got engaged in Mumbai on January 19, 2023, and their journey to marriage has been marked by celebrations worthy of royalty. Radhika Merchant, the daughter of Encore Healthcare CEO Viren Merchant and entrepreneur Shaila Merchant, has been warmly embraced by the Ambani family.
Mukesh and Nita Ambani’s preparations for their youngest son’s wedding highlight their dedication to family and heritage. After spending over Rs 1,259 crore on the three-day event in Jamnagar, the upcoming cruise celebration further demonstrates their desire to make every moment unforgettable for Anant and Radhika.
The Jamnagar celebrations featured Bollywood stars like Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, Aamir Khan, and others, along with international celebrities such as Rihanna. The upcoming cruise is expected to have a similar mix of glamour. Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, and Aamir Khan, who danced at the Jamnagar sangeet, are anticipated to entertain guests again.
Besides Bollywood celebrities, the pre-wedding festivities have included prominent figures from various fields, such as business tycoons Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg, athletes like Sachin Tendulkar and MS Dhoni, and political figures like Ivanka Trump, who enjoyed traditional Garba and Dandiya dance.
This upcoming event, like the one before it, will undoubtedly be a spectacle of love, luxury, and legacy, leaving a lasting impression on the social and cultural landscape. We extend our best wishes to Anant and Radhika for their forthcoming celebrations and their life together. Mukesh Ambani and Nita Ambani, through their lavish yet heartfelt celebrations, continue to inspire awe and admiration, making every Indian proud of their grand familial spirit.
