In a celebration marked by glamour and family ties, actor Neetu Kapoor recently took to Instagram to share a heartwarming family portrait captured during the opulent pre-wedding festivities of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant. The photograph, a “Fam jam” as she affectionately termed it, showcases the luminescent presence of Bollywood A-listers Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt, along with the elegant Kareena Kapoor Khan and the dapper Saif Ali Khan, all part of the Kapoor family.
The Instagram snapshot reveals Ranbir Kapoor exuding charm in a classic blue kurta pyjama, while Alia Bhatt shone brightly in a radiant golden lehenga, each reflecting the joyous occasion. Neetu Kapoor herself was a vision of elegance in a yellow ethnic ensemble, with Kareena Kapoor Khan exuding allure in a sparkling saree, and Saif Ali Khan striking a stylish note in an Indo-western outfit. This visual feast was complimented with a caption that read, “Fam jam,” adorned with acknowledgments to their attire designers.
The post immediately resonated with fans and fellow celebrities, with admiring comments like “Gorgeous!” from Saba Pataudi and “Shining” by Riddhima Kapoor Sahni quickly populating the comment section. Others declared the picture “Picture perfect” and celebrated the “Beautiful family”.
As the celebrations for Anant Ambani, son of Reliance Chairman Mukesh Ambani, and his fiancée Radhika Merchant, the daughter of industrialist Viren Merchant, stretch across a magnificent three-day affair, the who’s who of entertainment and business have congregated at the expansive Ambani estate in Jamnagar, Gujarat.
Notable Bollywood stars like Salman Khan, Shah Rukh Khan, Aamir Khan, Sidharth Malhotra, Kiara Advani, and a host of others added shine to the gathering, while sports giants such as MS Dhoni, Rohit Sharma, and Sachin Tendulkar also graced the event with their presence. The Day 1 festivities set a high bar with an enchanting drone show along with a stellar performance by international pop icon Rihanna.
The weekend celebrations included ‘A Walk on the Wildside’ held at the Ambanis’ animal rescue center, embracing a ‘jungle fever’ dress code. This was to be followed by ‘Mela Rouge’, a celebration of South Asian culture and fashion, inviting guests to showcase their favorite South Asian ensembles.
Earlier in January, the couple formalized their engagement in a traditional Gujarati ceremony called Gol Dhana. The pre-wedding events commenced with an act of graciousness known as ‘anna seva’, where members of the Ambani family personally served traditional Gujarati meals to the villagers in Jogwad, near the Reliance Township. This service will continue over the next few days for around 51,000 residents, embodying the spirit of community and blessings.
Such events not only highlight the opulence associated with India’s high society weddings but also showcase the close-knit ties among the Indian film industry’s royalty. These celebrations, combining tradition with contemporary glitz, capture the imagination of people everywhere, providing a glimpse into the world of luxury, culture, and familial bonds that define these grand Indian festivities.
