Bollywood superstar Salman Khan added a touch of glamour to the ‘Haldi ceremony’ of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant at Antilia, the Ambani residence in Mumbai. The ceremony on Monday celebrated the upcoming marriage of Mukesh Ambani’s youngest son, Anant, and Viren Merchant’s daughter, Radhika. The lavish affair was attended by close family members and Bollywood personalities.
Salman Khan, dressed in a radiant yellow kurta and black pajamas, arrived to extend his blessings to the couple. His presence added to the star-studded guest list, which included Ranveer Singh, Ananya Panday, and Sara Ali Khan, among others. Anil and Tina Ambani, the delighted uncle and aunt of Anant, were in high spirits throughout the festivities.
The couple, visibly joyous, left the venue late at night, adorned in turmeric paste and marigold petals, posing happily for the paparazzi. A day earlier, Anant and Radhika participated in a Grah Shanti Puja ceremony. Singer Nikita Waghela shared glimpses from the event on Instagram, showcasing the serene moments of the Grah Shanti and Mandap Muhurat Puja.
Radhika looked stunning in a cream and golden saree decorated with exquisite jewellery, while Anant sported a red kurta paired with a golden jacket. As part of the wedding celebrations, Mukesh and Nita Ambani recently organized a mass wedding for the underprivileged on July 2 at Swami Vivekanand Vidyamandir in Palghar.
On July 3, the Ambanis held a spectacular Mameru ceremony, a Gujarati wedding tradition where the maternal uncle (mama) of the bride visits her with sweets and gifts. The meticulously planned wedding festivities adhere to traditional Hindu Vedic customs. The main ceremonies will commence on Friday, July 12, with the auspicious Shubh Vivah, or wedding function. Guests are encouraged to dress in traditional Indian attire.
The celebrations will continue on Saturday, July 13, with Shubh Aashirwad. The final event, Mangal Utsav, or the wedding reception, is scheduled for Sunday, July 14. On July 5, the Ambani family also hosted a Sangeet Ceremony, featuring a constellation of celebrities and a performance by global pop sensation Justin Bieber.
Earlier this year, the couple hosted a series of pre-wedding festivities in Jamnagar, attended by a star-studded guest list from around the globe.
