Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant are set to tie the knot on July 12, with pre-wedding festivities having spanned the first half of the year. As the youngest son of Reliance Industries Chairman and billionaire Mukesh Ambani, Anant’s wedding is anticipated to be a spectacular affair.
The ceremony will be held at Mumbai’s Jio World Convention Centre, located in the bustling business district of Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC). Celebrations will continue post-wedding, with a ‘Shubh Ashirwad’ on July 13 and the grand Mangal Utsav or wedding reception on July 14.
Guest List Expectations
While the Ambanis have yet to confirm the guest list, it is expected to feature prominent figures from business, sports, and the film industry. The pre-wedding parties were lavish, featuring performances from global pop stars and an array of exquisite dishes for the guests, suggesting that the main event would be equally grand.
Wedding Menu
The wedding menu promises to be a gastronomic delight, with offerings from Varanasi’s famous Kaashi Chaat Bhandaar. Guests can look forward to savoring fast food delicacies such as tikki, tomato chaat, palak chaat, chana kachori, and kulfi. This menu was finalized by Nita Ambani, founder and chairman of the Reliance Foundation, during her visit to Varanasi last month, according to shop owner Rakesh Keshari.
Accommodation in Bandra
The wedding has significantly impacted hotel room availability and prices in Mumbai’s western suburbs of Bandra and BKC. Prominent hotels in the area have reported being fully booked, with their official websites showing rooms as “sold out.” However, some five-star hotels near BKC, including The Lalit, ITC Maratha, Taj Santa Cruz, and the Grand Hyatt, still have rooms available.
Traffic Advisory
Mumbai Police issued a traffic advisory on July 5, effective from July 12 to July 15, to manage the influx of guests and ensure smooth traffic flow around the Jio World Convention Centre in BKC. The advisory includes road diversions and restrictions.
Star-Studded Guest List
Reports suggest that David and Victoria Beckham have been invited to the wedding. The Beckhams were previously hosted by the Ambanis during their visit to Mumbai for a UNICEF event in 2023. Invitations have also been sent to Bollywood celebrities such as Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt, Deepika Padukone and Ranvir Singh, and other notable personalities.
Performances and Celebrations
Guests can look forward to performances by renowned artists such as Adele, Lana Del Rey, and Drake. The Sangeet Ceremony on July 5 featured a performance by pop star Justin Bieber, with other notable attendees including business magnates like Mark Zuckerberg and Bill Gates, and Hollywood and Bollywood stars.
Pre-Wedding Celebrations
The pre-wedding celebrations were nothing short of extraordinary. The first celebration, held from March 1 to March 3 at the Ambani estate in Jamnagar, saw around 1,200 guests, including Rihanna, Bill Gates, Hillary Clinton, Jared Kushner, Ivanka Trump, Karlie Kloss, and Mark Zuckerberg. Entertainers included Akon, Punjabi musician Diljit Dosanjh, and magician David Blaine. The second celebration involved a four-day Mediterranean cruise, departing from Palermo, Italy, with another 1,200 guests, including family, friends, and coworkers.
