Significant portions of the Bandra Kurla Complex were closed off to the public to facilitate the entry of VIP guests to what is being dubbed the wedding of the century.
Extravagant Pre-Wedding Festivities
The pre-wedding festivities for Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant began with a three-day extravaganza in March at the sprawling Reliance estate in Jamnagar. The highlight was a private concert by Rihanna, followed by a performance from Diljit Dosanjh the next day.
In early June, the Ambanis hosted numerous guests on a luxury cruise with stops across the Mediterranean. In the week leading up to the wedding, the groom’s family organized a series of events, including a sangeet with a performance by Justin Bieber, a haldi ceremony, a mameru ceremony, a mehendi ceremony, and a Shiv Shakti pooja.
