Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant’s love story seems to be straight out of a Bollywood rom-com. The couple, all set to tie the knot in Mumbai on July 12, are said to be childhood friends, according to multiple media reports.
Though not many details have been shared by the families about their love story, it was in 2018 that people came to know about their relationship when a photo of them lost in each other’s eyes surfaced online and went viral.
Although the couple had not shed light on their relationship at the time, Radhika would often attend the Ambani family’s intimate events. She was present at Isha Ambani’s wedding with Anand Piramal, which took place in 2018, and Akash Ambani’s wedding with Shloka Mehta in 2019.
The Roka ceremony of Radhika and Anant was performed at the Shrinathji Temple at Nathdwara in Rajasthan in December 2022. Anant and Radhika’s Gol Dhana ceremony took place on January 19, 2023. The engagement ceremony took place at the Ambani residence, Antilia, and many Bollywood stars attended the ceremony to bless the couple. These included Shah Rukh Khan, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Sachin Tendulkar, Shreya Ghoshal, Rajkumar Hirani, and Vidhu Vinod Chopra.
On Friday, the who’s who from the world of politics, business and arts will grace the couple’s wedding. There will also be participation from renowned, accomplished academics, inventors, innovators, and doctors, highlighting the strong intellectual and scientific relationships nurtured by Reliance and the Ambanis over the years. The wide spectrum and walks of life of the guests indicate the Ambani family’s focused efforts to nurture deep, inclusive, and meaningful relationships
The wedding will also be a testament to the convening power of Reliance Industries and Mukesh Ambani, a leader who has played a pivotal role in India’s economic ascension.
