Superstar Salman Khan never misses a chance to captivate everyone with his aura and style, and Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant’s sangeet night was no exception. The Bollywood superstar received the loudest cheers as he performed with the groom-to-be, Anant Ambani, on his iconic song ‘Aisa Pehli Baar Hua Hai’ from the 2000 film ‘Har Dil Jo Pyar Karega’ on Friday night.
The event took place at the Jio World Centre in Mumbai, drawing a constellation of stars and elite personalities. Salman Khan arrived at the venue dressed in a dapper black suit complemented by a black shirt and pants, greeting the paparazzi with a big smile and folded hands. His arrival and subsequent performance turned the evening into a memorable spectacle.
As the night progressed, several videos and pictures from the sangeet ceremony began to circulate on social media, capturing the zenith of Bollywood glamour and excitement. The highlight was undoubtedly Salman Khan’s electrifying dance performance, where he was seen taking the stage alongside Anant Ambani. The duo made a grand entry on an ATV bike, and Anant could be seen perfectly mimicking Salman’s famous hook step, much to the delight of the assembled guests.
The star-studded affair wasn’t limited to Salman Khan. A lineup of Bollywood’s best came to celebrate Anant and Radhika’s union. Among the notable attendees were Bollywood’s power couple Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor, who posed for pictures, exuding elegance and happiness. Bollywood diva Madhuri Dixit accompanied by her husband, surgeon Shriram Madhav Nene, also graced the event, adding to the evening’s charm.
Adding further glitz to the night, pop sensation Justin Bieber was among the performers, captivating the audience with his hit numbers. The sangeet night was indeed a spectacle of high-energy performances and dazzling appearances, setting a high bar for the upcoming wedding festivities.
The ceremony was a part of a series of meticulously planned wedding events adhering to traditional Hindu Vedic customs. Mukesh Ambani and Nita Ambani have left no stone unturned in ensuring the celebrations are memorable.
. Prior to the sangeet, on July 2, the Ambanis organized a mass wedding ceremony for the underprivileged at Swami Vivekanand Vidyamandir in Palghar. This showcased not only their grandeur but their commitment to philanthropy as well.
On July 3, another significant ceremony, the Mameru, was organized. A traditional Gujarati pre-wedding event, the Mameru involves the maternal uncle of the bride visiting her with sweets and gifts. This event set the tone for the mainstream celebrations which are scheduled to kick off on July 12.
The main wedding ceremonies will begin with the auspicious Shubh Vivah or wedding function on Friday, July 12. Sources close to the family have indicated that guests are encouraged to embrace the spirit of the occasion by dressing in traditional Indian attire, further enhancing the cultural authenticity of the celebrations.
The wedding festivities will not conclude after the Shubh Vivah. The celebrations will continue the next day, Saturday, July 13, with Shubh Aashirwad, a traditional event seeking blessings for the newlyweds. The final event, Mangal Utsav or the wedding reception, is scheduled for Sunday, July 14. The reception promises to be another grand event, closing the wedding celebrations on a high note.
Earlier this year, the couple hosted a series of pre-wedding festivities in Jamnagar which featured a star-studded guest list from around the globe. These events laid the foundation for the grand celebrations in Mumbai, reflecting the couple’s penchant for tradition blended with modern extravagance.
As the eyes of the nation and fans worldwide remain glued to these opulent celebrations, it’s clear that Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant’s wedding is poised to be one of the most talked-about events of the year. The blend of Bollywood glamour, traditional rituals, and an overarching spirit of joy and togetherness truly encapsulate the essence of the Indian wedding.
