Anant Ambani-Radhika Merchant's pre-wedding celebrations in March, reveals leaked invitation
Anant Ambani—the youngest son of billionaire industrialist Mukesh Ambani—is likely to tie the knot with his fiancée, Radhika Merchant, later this year. The couple got engaged in January 2023, and now, paparazzo Viral Bhayani has shared a purported invitation by the Ambani family, revealing their pre-wedding celebrations from March 1-3 in Jamnagar, Gujarat. Previously, reports suggested the duo would get married in July 2024.

Mukesh and Nita Ambani are parents to Akash Ambani, Isha Ambani, and Anant. Their elder children, Akash and Isha, tied the knot in 2019 and 2020, respectively. Anant's engagement to Merchant last year officially kickstarted their pre-wedding celebrations, hinting at an impending marriage this year. Distinguished figures from business, politics, and entertainment graced their engagement, and similar attendance is anticipated for the upcoming celebrations.
