Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant are gearing up to wed, with celebrations underway. The family recently hosted a lavish mameru ceremony on July 3, attended by Mukesh Ambani, Nita Ambani, Akash Ambani with Shloka, and Isha Ambani with Anand Piramal. The Ambani residence was adorned with vibrant flowers and golden lights, with a digital screen displaying caricatures of the couple, wishing them well.

Radhika looked stunning in an embroidered lehenga, complemented by traditional jhumkas, maang-teeka, and neckpiece. The mameru ceremony, a Gujarati tradition, saw the bride receiving sweets and gifts from her maternal uncle (mama).

The highly anticipated wedding of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant will take place on July 12 at the Jio World Convention Centre in Mumbai's BKC. Among the Ambani family’s plans is a special chaat stall featuring delicacies from Kashi Chaat Bhandaar in Varanasi.

As part of the wedding celebrations, Nita Ambani, founder of Reliance Foundation, visited Varanasi last month. She sought blessings at the Kashi Vishwanath Temple and personally invited Rakesh Keshari, the owner of Kashi Chaat Bhandaar, after enjoying various chaats at his shop.

Sangeet ceremony 

The sangeet ceremony of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant was held on July 5 just days ahead of their wedding. After two glam pre-wedding festivities, 1 'samuh vivah', the couple are finally set to tie the knot on July 12. 

The Sangeet ceremony also featured a performance by the entire Ambani family together on stage. Additionally, Justin Bieber lit up the stage right from his evergreen to the latest superhits. The event took place at Jio World Centre in Mumbai and was graced by the presence of Madhuri Dixit, Deepika Padukone, Khushi Kapoor, Ananya Panday, Salman Khan, MS Dhoni, Aditya Roy Kapur, Alia Bhatt, Ranbir Kapoor, Hardik Pandya, and various other personalities.
