Anant-Radhika's pre-wedding on cruise: Viral invitation card unveils themes, itinerary
Before their wedding in July, Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant are set to enjoy a second pre-wedding bash aboard a luxurious cruise this week. This event follows their Jamnagar festivities in March. It'll be hosted by Ambani's parents, billionaire Mukesh Ambani and his wife Nita Ambani, with an expected guest list including Bollywood celebrities, cricketers, and other high-profile individuals. As anticipation mounts, whispers of the events from the bash have already begun—thanks to a circulating invitation card.
'Life is a journey' highlighted on the viral card
Boldly emblazoned with the phrase "La Vite E Un Viaggio," translating to "Life is a journey," the second pre-wedding invitation card hints at an extraordinary experience ahead for guests. It promises, "These days when friends come together, will be the adventure of a lifetime." Adding to the allure, the card reveals that the event will unfold in Italy on Wednesday. The festivities will conclude on Saturday, in Portofino, Italy.
Luxury cruise itinerary: From Italy to South of France
The luxury cruise liner will embark on a 4,380km journey from Italy to the South of France and back. The itinerary includes a welcome lunch on Wednesday, followed by a "Starry Night"-themed evening gala. On Thursday, guests will land in Rome for a day out, followed by a dinner party and an after-party that begins at 1:00am. The themes for the following days include "V Turns One Under The Sun," "Le Masquerade," and "Pardon My French."
Space-themed celebration and gourmet cuisine
The entire celebration will be space-themed, with Merchant donning a custom-made Grace Ling Couture piece inspired by the concept of a Galactic Princess. Per reports, the outfit has been made using Aerospace Aluminum Technology and is "3D-carved." The Ambanis are known for their gourmet cuisine which was also featured in the couple's pre-wedding festivities in Jamnagar that included Parsi, Thai, Mexican, and Japanese dishes. Similar culinary delights are expected at this event as well.
Star-studded guest list and extravagant arrangements
Around 800 guests are expected to attend the event, with 600 hospitality staff onboard for their comfort. The guest list includes Bollywood A-listers like Salman Khan, Shah Rukh Khan, and Aamir Khan, who were also part of the Jamnagar bash. Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, and their daughter Raha were seen boarding a flight to attend the celebration on Monday. Joining them were cricketer Mahendra Singh Dhoni and actor Ranveer Singh, among others, as they headed off to the event.
