Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, Rihanna, Ivanka Trump, and Disney’s Bob Iger are set to join the illustrious guest list at the lavish pre-nuptial affair of Anant Ambani, the progeny of Mukesh Ambani, who holds the mantle of being Asia’s wealthiest individual.
The youngest scion of the Ambani dynasty, Anant, aged 28, is all geared up to tie the knot with his long-time girlfriend, Radhika Merchant, aged 29, in a grand ceremony scheduled for July. However, a luxurious three-day bash commencing on 1st March in Gujarat’s Jamnagar is expected to pave the way for the forthcoming heralded wedding revelry. Radhika Merchant, the soon-to-be Ambani daughter-in-law, is also of considerable lineage, her family being established entrepreneurs in the pharmaceutical sector.
Mukesh Ambani, the oil and telecommunications magnate, with his substantial wealth, gives stiff competition to fellow billionaire Gautam Adani, the chair of Adani Group of companies. This is a fact as per the real-time billionaires index worldwide coordinated by famed financial and business magazine, Forbes.
Touted to be among the world’s opulent matrimonial celebrations, the Ambanis’ gala, spanning across three eventful days is anticipated to be indulgent with over 2,500 palatable dishes prepared by an impressive lineup of 65 master chefs. These celebrations pour light into the wealth and influence of the Ambani family that has diversified interests in renowned businesses like petroleum refining, retail chains, their telecom giant Jio, and an array of digital streaming services, amassing a staggering net worth of £85bn.
An ensemble of top-notch Indian celebrities including Shah Rukh Khan, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Amitabh Bachchan, Rajinikanth, Salman Khan, Deepika Padukone, and others are forecasted to grace the occasion. The sequence of events is believed to kick off with an exclusive cocktail party termed “an evening in Everland”, followed by a thrilling safari-themed event on Saturday where invitees are suggested to prioritize their comfort footwear for an inviting jungle walk.
The bridegroom’s admiration for wildlife is significantly instrumental in curating the nature-themed stint in the pre-wedding fiesta. Their wedding invite reads, “Anant has lovingly nurtured this complex into a haven of care and compassion for thousands of rescued animals”. The duo formalized their relationship with a traditional engagement ceremony last year at the grand Ambani abode, Antilia, in Mumbai.
