Anil Ambani, Tina Ambani look radiant at Anant Ambani-Radhika Merchant's haldi ceremony, watch video

Anant Ambani's haldi ceremony on Monday night was a lively and festive affair. The youngest son of Indian billionaire Mukesh Ambani is set to marry Radhika Merchant, daughter of businessman Viren Merchant this Friday. The family hosted a haldi ceremony at their Mumbai home, Antilia, that was attended by close family and a few Bollywood friends.

Among the attendees were Anant's uncle and businessman Anil Ambani and his wife Tina Ambani. The couple was seen leaving the venue late at night, holding hands and covered in turmeric paste and marigold petals. They even posed for the paparazzi with big smiles. Bollywood star Ranveer Singh was also spotted leaving the event, similarly adorned with turmeric paste.

Earlier in the evening, family members and other guests were seen arriving at the function. Mukesh Ambani arrived with his son Akash Ambani, both dressed in traditional kurta pyjama sets and posed for the media.

In the lead-up to the wedding, Mukesh and Nita Ambani organised a mass wedding for the underprivileged on July 2 at Swami Vivekanand Vidyamandir in Palghar. The following day, the Ambanis hosted a spectacular Mameru ceremony, a Gujarati wedding tradition where the bride's maternal uncle visits her with sweets and gifts.

The wedding festivities are meticulously planned, adhering to traditional Hindu Vedic customs. The main ceremonies will begin on July 12 (Friday) with the wedding and the reception will take place on July 14 (Sunday).
