If one can believe it, the celebrations for Anant Ambani—the son of India’s richest man—and Radhika Merchant are just beginning. Tonight in Mumbai, Radhika Merchant and Anant Ambani held their sangeet—which saw Justin Bieber take to the stage for a special performance.
In March, Vogue published a feature on the three-day pre-wedding celebrations and hastakshar of Anant Ambani and his fiance Radhika Merchant. By that time, many of our readers were already familiar with the couple: earlier that weekend, videos of Rihanna arriving in India began circulating widely on social media. Internet sleuths soon figured out she was there to perform a private concert for the Ambanis—the richest family in the country—and their 1,500 guests.
On Sunday, it was time for their formal hastakshar. The bride-to-be wore a concept sari by Tarun Tahiliani. Afterward, Anant’s mother performed a Bharatanatyam-style dance for the crowd. It was an emotional end to an emotional weekend for the couple: “It added to the divinity of the night—all in the temple where we spent so many special moments during the last seven years together,” Radhika says.
