Anant Ambani, the youngest son of business tycoons Mukesh and Nita Ambani, is set to marry his long-time girlfriend Radhika Merchant. The ‘Save the Date’ wedding invitation, released on Thursday, May 30, has gone viral. The event promises to be a lavish celebration spanning three days at the Jio World Convention Centre in Mumbai.
The first event that kicked off the festivities was a formal engagement. Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant’s engagement took place in a traditional Gol Dhana ceremony in Mumbai on January 19, 2023. This ceremony, a Gujarati pre-wedding ritual, marked the couple’s commitment to each other with blessings from family and friends.
Anant Ambani is a Director on the Boards of several Reliance entities, including Reliance Industries, Jio Platforms, and Reliance Retail Ventures. He is also known for his active involvement in animal rights. His bride-to-be, Radhika Merchant, is a trained classical dancer who contributes heavily to Encore Healthcare, her family legacy. She has been a prominent figure at various Ambani family events over the years.
When is Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant getting married?
The wedding festivities will begin on July 12 with the ‘Shubh Vivaah,’ or auspicious wedding ceremony. The dress code for guests is Indian traditional attire. This will be followed by ‘Shubh Aashirwad‘ on July 13, with attendees expected to don Indian formals. The celebrations will end on July 14 with the ‘Mangal Utsav,’ or wedding reception. The dress code for this event is set as Indian chic.
The Ambani family has already sent out the ‘Save the Date’ invites to an extensive list of guests. A more formal invitation is expected to follow soon. The card is designed in traditional shades of red and gold. It not only captures the essence of Indian culture but also sets the tone for the grandeur of the event.
