Mukesh Ambani’s son, Anant Ambani, is set to tie the knot with Radhika Merchant on July 12 in Mumbai, surrounded by family and friends. As part of the lead-up to this grand occasion, the families have organized an extravagant second pre-wedding bash: a four-day luxury cruise trip across Europe.
Starting on May 29 and concluding on June 1, the cruise has hosted numerous Bollywood stars, sports icons, and prominent businessmen, making it an event to remember. Among the highlights of this lavish celebration was a performance by the renowned American band, the Backstreet Boys, which has since gone viral.
A Star-Studded Celebration on the High Seas
The pre-wedding festivities kicked off in Palermo, Sicily, Italy, where the guests boarded the luxurious cruise. A video shared by a Reddit user on Thursday captured the Backstreet Boys, dressed in all-white outfits, performing their hit song “I Wanna Be With You” for an enthusiastic audience on board. The band, consisting of Nick Carter, Howie Dorough, Brian Littrell, AJ McLean, and Kevin Richardson, added a touch of nostalgia and excitement to the evening.
Another video, posted by an Instagram user, showcased the grandeur of the cruise during the day, further enhancing the anticipation for the upcoming wedding. The cruise’s journey began in Italy on Wednesday and is set to conclude in France on Friday.
Celebrity Guests and Glamour
The guest list for this opulent pre-wedding bash reads like a who’s who of Bollywood and beyond. Among the celebrities who flew to Italy to join the celebration were Shah Rukh Khan along with his children Aryan and Suhana Khan, Alia Bhatt, Ranbir Kapoor, and their daughter Raha Kapoor. Other notable attendees included Janhvi Kapoor and her father Boney Kapoor, Ranveer Singh, Kareena Kapoor, Karisma Kapoor, Karan Johar, Ananya Panday, Sara Ali Khan, Ibrahim Ali Khan, and Disha Patani. Social media influencer Orhan Awatramani, also known as Orry, was reported to be onboard as well.
A Series of Spectacular Celebrations
This cruise party marks the second pre-wedding celebration for Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant. The first took place in March this year at Jamnagar, Gujarat, on the premises of Anant Ambani’s wildlife sanctuary, Vantara. That event was equally star-studded, with attendees spanning Bollywood, sports, business, and politics. The highlight of the Jamnagar celebration was a performance by Grammy Award-winning singer Rihanna, marking her debut performance in India.
