Anant Ambani’s extravagant pre-wedding bash promises a star-studded affair with the likes of Rihanna, business moguls, and Bollywood glitterati in attendance.
Mukesh Ambani, the magnate behind India’s Reliance conglomerate and Asia’s wealthiest individual boasting a staggering net worth of $114 billion, is renowned for his penchant for grandiose celebrations. And now, as his youngest son, Anant Ambani prepares to tie the knot with his longtime love, Radhika Merchant, the Ambani household is gearing up for a three-day extravaganza that has captured India’s attention.
Set to commence on Friday in the quaint township of Jamnagar, nestled near Reliance’s primary oil refinery in Gujarat, the pre-wedding festivities are poised to host a whopping 1,200 guests. The event kicks off with a flair, featuring not only a performance by global icon Rihanna but also the mystifying talents of U.S. magician David Blaine. Amidst the revelry, traditional ceremonies will unfold within the serene confines of a temple complex, adding a touch of cultural splendor to the opulent affair.
Among the esteemed invitees rumored to grace the celebrations are luminaries such as Bill Gates, Meta’s Mark Zuckerberg, Indian tycoons Gautam Adani and Kumar Mangalam Birla, along with a constellation of cricketing legends and Bollywood luminaries including Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan. The guest list may also include Bob Iger, CEO of Disney, following the recent announcement of a monumental $8.5 billion merger of Disney’s India media assets with Reliance’s own.
Anant Ambani, a director at Reliance’s burgeoning energy venture, stands as one of Ambani’s heirs apparent, poised to inherit a slice of his father’s vast empire. Meanwhile, his bride-to-be, Radhika Merchant, holds a directorial position at India’s Encore Healthcare, further solidifying the couple’s stature within India’s elite circles.
This isn’t the first time the Ambani family has orchestrated a spectacle of this magnitude. In 2018, Ambani’s daughter Isha’s wedding captured global attention, drawing comparisons to a mini-Davos summit with illustrious guests including former U.S. Secretaries of State Hillary Clinton and John Kerry joining Bollywood luminaries on the dance floor.

Guests attending Anant’s festivities are in for a culinary treat, with a staggering array of 500 dishes meticulously crafted by a legion of 100 chefs. Beyond gastronomic delights, attendees will be pampered with hairstyling, makeup services, and traditional Indian attire provided on a first-come, first-served basis, as per the planning document shared with invitees.
As part of the celebrations, guests will embark on a visit to a renowned rescue center housing over 2,000 animals, including one of the world’s largest elephant hospitals. Embracing the theme of “jungle fever,” attendees are encouraged to flaunt animal print attire or Hawaiian shirts, adding a whimsical touch to the proceedings.
For the convenience of guests, charter jet flights from major Indian cities have been arranged, albeit with a caveat urging restraint in luggage allowance to ensure a seamless travel experience. Additionally, the planning document advises guests to manage their expectations regarding laundry services, with a three-hour turnaround time for steaming garments.
With all the elements in place for a spectacle of unparalleled opulence and extravagance, the Anant Ambani pre-wedding bash is poised to set new standards in Indian celebratory extravaganzas, cementing its status as a monumental event in the annals of the country’s social calendar.
