The festivities will continue into July 13 with Shubh Aashirwad, a day where blessings will abound, followed by the grand finale, Mangal Utsav or the wedding reception, on July 14, where guests are encouraged to showcase their ‘Indian chic’ style.

Radhika Merchant, hailing from the esteemed family of Encore Healthcare CEO Viren Merchant and entrepreneur Shaila Merchant, is poised to become a part of the Ambani dynasty, symbolizing the union of two influential industrialist families.

Prior to the main event, the couple treated their guests to a series of pre-wedding celebrations in Jamnagar earlier this year. The star-studded affair attracted luminaries from across the globe, including business tycoons, political leaders, and A-list celebrities from both Hollywood and Bollywood.

The guest list boasted names like Meta founder Mark Zuckerberg, Microsoft’s Bill Gates, and even Ivanka Trump, alongside Indian business moguls such as Gautam Adani, Nandan Nilekani, and Adar Poonawala. Cricket legends Sachin Tendulkar, MS Dhoni, and Rohit Sharma added their sporting charm, while spiritual guru Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev brought a sense of tranquility to the festivities.

The pre-wedding extravaganza featured captivating performances by Rihanna and illusionist David Blaine, leaving attendees mesmerized. Bollywood’s glitterati, including Amitabh Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan, and Salman Khan, added their charisma to the celebrations, culminating in a spectacular sangeet night with appearances from Diljit Dosanjh and other stars.

As the countdown to Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant’s big day begins, Mumbai braces itself for a blend of tradition, luxury, and contemporary flair, promising a wedding to remember for years to come.
