After the lavish three-day pre-wedding celebrations in Jamnagar, Gujarat, the Ambani family is gearing up to host a second pre-wedding extravaganza for their youngest son, Anant Ambani, and his fiancée, Radhika Merchant.
Several notable celebrities, including Alia Bhatt, Ranbir Kapoor, Salman Khan, and MS Dhoni, were spotted at Mumbai’s Kalina airport, set to depart for Italy.
Here’s a glimpse of the upcoming four-day event:
According to a Times of India report, the event is scheduled from May 29 to June 1. It will unfold on a luxury cruise in Italy and France, themed “Life is a Journey.”
Guests will be welcomed with an enchanting “Starry Night” themed evening gala as the cruise sets sail from Italy to the South of France.
Day 2 will feature a toga party in homage to Greco-Roman culture, along with sightseeing opportunities in the beautiful city.
An event titled “V Turns One Under the Sun” will celebrate the first birthday of Akash Ambani and Shloka Mehta’s daughter, Veda. This will be followed by the “Le Masquerade” event and an after-party called “Pardon My French.”
The festivities will revolve around a space-themed concept, with Radhika Merchant set to dazzle in a custom ensemble by Grace Ling Couture, incorporating Aerospace Aluminum Technology.
Just like the previous pre-wedding event, guests can expect a diverse array of cuisines, including Parsi, Japanese, Indian, and Thai.
