Viral video: Anant Ambani-Radhika Merchant hug each other during graha shanti puja, Mukesh Ambani gets emotional, watch

Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant's pre-wedding celebrations have been a mix of glamour, tradition, and heartfelt moments. They are set to marry today, July 12, at the Jio World Convention Center in Mumbai. Before the big day, their lavish pre-wedding festivities have captured global attention.

A social media video shows touching scenes from their Graha Shanti Puja, an ancient ceremony to honor ancestors and seek harmony among the nine planetary forces. The clip shows Anant holding Radhika's hand, exchanging garlands, and sharing a warm hug amidst family and friends' blessings. Mukesh Ambani, Anant's father and Asia's richest man, was seen getting emotional during the rituals.

The Ambani and Merchant families were joyful as they celebrated with the soon-to-be-weds. Radhika looked stunning in a white and gold saree with a red embroidered blouse, while Anant wore a traditional maroon kurta and gold Nehru jacket.

The celebrations are extensive. They began in March with a star-studded event in Jamnagar, Gujarat, featuring a performance by pop icon Rihanna and appearances by Bollywood stars Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, and Aamir Khan. Celebrities like Amitabh Bachchan, Rajinikanth, Karan Johar, and Anil Kapoor also attended.

The festivities continued on a luxurious cruise through Italy and the South of France, with performances by singer Katy Perry, the Backstreet Boys, and Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli.

Anant and Radhika, children of business tycoons Mukesh Ambani and Viren Merchant, will begin their new life together on July 12. Their three-day wedding celebration is a unique blend of glitz, tradition, and family love, attended by prominent figures from the entertainment, corporate, and political worlds.
