Anant Ambani, the younger son of Reliance Industries chairman Mukesh Ambani, is all set to tie the knot with his longtime girlfriend Radhika Merchant in a grand celebration in Mumbai. The Indian Meteorological Department has issued an orange alert for heavy to very heavy rainfall in the city on the weekend of the wedding, adding to the excitement and challenges of the event.
The wedding festivities are planned to take place at the Jio World Convention Center in Bandra Kurla Complex, Mumbai from July 12 to 14. The couple’s pre-wedding celebrations have already garnered significant media attention and social media buzz with star-studded events both in India and across Europe.
Anant Ambani, 29, is the youngest son of Mukesh Ambani, Asia’s richest man with a net worth of $118 billion. He has been actively involved in expanding the family conglomerate’s energy sector and is known for his passion project, Vantara, a 3,000-acre animal rescue center in Gujarat.
Radhika Merchant, 29, the daughter of pharma tycoon Viren Merchant, works for Encore Healthcare and is a Bharatnatyam dancer. The couple met in 2017 through mutual friends and have been dating since then. Their wedding ceremonies have been meticulously planned according to auspicious Hindu traditions, including multiple events spanning over several days.
The extravagant celebrations are expected to host a plethora of VIP and global guests, including top Bollywood stars and renowned personalities from various industries. With a lineup of famous designers and themes curated by Manish Malhotra, the wedding is set to showcase the rich cultural heritage of India with a blend of contemporary fashion.
Despite the grandeur of the event, the Ambani family has also shown their philanthropic side by organizing a mass wedding for over 50 underprivileged couples as part of the pre-wedding celebrations. The wedding festivities are predicted to be a star-studded affair filled with opulence, tradition, and glamor, making it one of the most talked-about events of the year.
