The recent pre-wedding celebration of the Ambani family in Italy didn’t create the buzz expected, especially after the grand affair in Jamnagar in March. While the family and their guests likely enjoyed the festivities, those online wanted more glimpses of Bollywood celebrities in their glamorous attire. Ananya Panday’s recent Instagram Stories from the event suggest a more subdued celebration, sharing serene pictures from Rome, one of the cruise’s stops. These included a scenic view of a stone bridge and a candid shot of her in a Chanel slip dress, casually posing on the street, a departure from the glitz seen earlier.
The Ambani cruise, set against the picturesque backdrop of Italy to France, marks another lavish event leading up to Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant’s wedding. Anant, Mukesh Ambani’s youngest son, and Radhika, the daughter of industrialist Viren Merchant, are set to marry on July 12 at the Jio World Convention Centre in Mumbai’s Bandra Kurla Complex. The cruise is grand, hosting close to 800 guests, including Bollywood and business luminaries like Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, and Shah Rukh Khan, alongside 600 staff and crew members.
The couple’s pre-wedding celebrations in Jamnagar were a spectacle attended by global celebrities, business moguls, and spiritual leaders. Notable personalities such as Mark Zuckerberg, Bill Gates, and Ivanka Trump were among the guests, alongside Indian business leaders Gautam Adani and Nandan Nilekani. The event also saw appearances from cricket legends and Bollywood’s finest, including Amitabh Bachchan and Shah Rukh Khan, making it a memorable gathering.
