The upcoming wedding of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant is generating significant buzz, with the couple’s pre-wedding ceremonies already making headlines. The latest event was the Mosalu Ceremony, a traditional Gujarati ritual, held on Thursday. This pre-wedding event saw the presence of Nita and Mukesh Ambani, the parents of the groom. The Mosalu Ceremony is a significant part of Gujarati wedding traditions where the groom’s mother’s family blesses the couple with gifts and offerings. This particular ceremony saw Nita Ambani’s family, led by her mother, Purnima Dalal, and sister Mamta Dalal, join in giving blessings to the couple. The ceremony is also known as “Mameru,” where the groom’s maternal uncles and family present gifts as blessings to the bride and groom.
The wedding festivities have already been grand, with the couple hosting two pre-wedding ceremonies prior to the Mosalu event. The first ceremony took place in Jamnagar, attended by prominent figures from across the globe, including business magnates Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg, as well as singer Rihanna. The second pre-wedding event was a lavish four-day cruise across Europe. The upcoming wedding ceremony, scheduled for July 12th at the Jio World Convention Centre in Mumbai, is expected to be a star-studded affair. Many globally popular celebrities are expected to attend and perform at the wedding.
Radhika Merchant, the bride-to-be, made a stunning appearance at the Mosalu ceremony, wearing a custom Manish Malhotra lehenga. The beautiful gown featured intricate embroidery of ‘Durga-shloka’ on the borders and was accessorized with jewelry from her mother, Shaila Merchant. The pre-wedding ceremonies have already set the stage for an unforgettable wedding celebration. The Ambanis have also hosted a mass wedding for 50 underprivileged couples at the Reliance Corporate Park (RCP) in Navi Mumbai, adding a touch of social responsibility to the grand celebrations.
