The enchanting tale of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant is set to culminate in a grand celebration as the childhood friends embark on their journey to becoming life partners. Scheduled to unfold over three lavish days in Gujarat, the pre-wedding festivities promise to be a star-studded affair, with the presence of some of Bollywood’s biggest names, courtesy of Mukesh and Nita Ambani.
The love story of Anant and Radhika traces back to their childhood, though details about their romantic journey remain largely private. However, their bond became evident to the public eye in 2018 when a captivating photograph of the couple captured hearts, catapulting them into the spotlight. While they kept their relationship low-key initially, Radhika’s presence at significant Ambani family events, including Isha Ambani’s wedding to Anand Piramal in 2018 and Akash Ambani’s wedding to Shloka Mehta in 2019, further solidified their connection.
The journey to their engagement unfolded with a series of traditional ceremonies. The Roka ceremony took place at the revered Shrinathji Temple in Nathdwara, Rajasthan, in December 2022, followed by the Gol Dhana ceremony on January 19, 2023. The engagement ceremony, held at the prestigious Ambani residence, Antilia, saw the attendance of Bollywood luminaries such as Shah Rukh Khan, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, and Sachin Tendulkar, among others, who came together to bless the couple.
Anant, the son of Nita and Mukesh Ambani, boasts an impressive academic background, having graduated from Brown University in the USA. He currently plays a pivotal role in leading the energy business of Reliance Industries, showcasing his acumen in various capacities within the company, including serving on the Boards of Jio Platforms and Reliance Retail Ventures.
Radhika, on the other hand, hails from a distinguished family and holds a directorial position on the Board of Encore Healthcare. A graduate of New York University, she is not only a poised businesswoman but also a skilled Indian classical dancer. Last year, she mesmerized audiences with her debut on-stage dance performance, known as ‘Arangetram,’ showcasing her passion for the art form.
As Anant and Radhika embark on this new chapter of their lives, their union symbolizes the coming together of two families and celebrates the enduring bond between childhood companions turned life partners.
