Send Push
Ahead of their highly anticipated wedding, Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant celebrated the traditional Gujarati 'Mosalu' ceremony at their Mumbai residence, Antilia. This ceremony is a cherished ritual in Gujarati culture, taking place a few days before the wedding. It involves the groom’s mother’s family bestowing blessings and gifts upon the couple.

The event was a spectacle of vibrant decorations and joyous moments. Antilia was adorned with colorful lights, flowers, and golden decorations, creating a festive atmosphere. Visuals from the event show the family sharing happy moments amidst the beautiful setup.


Nita Ambani’s family, including her mother Purnima Dalal and her sister Mamta Dalal, participated in the ceremony. They blessed Anant and Radhika with gifts and good wishes, symbolizing their love and support. Anant’s uncles also presented traditional gifts, known as 'Mameru,' which included clothes, jewelry, and sweets. Radhika’s uncle contributed sweets and additional gifts, adding to the festive spirit.

The Ambani family, including Mukesh Ambani, Nita Ambani, and their children—Akash, Shloka, Isha, and Anand Piramal—were present, sharing in the couple’s joy. Radhika looked stunning in a beautifully embroidered lehenga, accessorized with traditional jewelry, including jhumkas, a maang-teeka, and a neckpiece.

The much-awaited wedding of Anant and Radhika is set for July 12 at the Jio World Convention Centre in Bandra Kurla Complex, Mumbai. The wedding plans include a special chaat stall from the renowned Kashi Chaat Bhandaar in Varanasi. Last month, Nita Ambani personally visited Varanasi to invite the shop owner, Rakesh Keshari, after sampling various chaats at his establishment.

Ambani Wedding Festivities
As part of the wedding festivities, the Ambanis hosted a mass wedding for underprivileged couples on July 2 at Swami Vivekanand Vidyamandir in Palghar. Each bride received gold and silver jewelry, household appliances, and a cheque as part of their 'streedhan.'

The main wedding ceremonies will begin on July 12 with the Shubh Vivah, followed by Shubh Aashirwad on July 13, and concluding with the Mangal Utsav, or wedding reception, on July 14. Guests have been encouraged to dress in traditional Indian attire for these events.

Radhika Merchant, the daughter of Encore Healthcare CEO Viren Merchant and entrepreneur Shaila Merchant, is set to join the Ambani family, marking the union of two prominent industrialist families. Earlier this year, the couple hosted pre-wedding festivities in Jamnagar, attended by global business leaders, Hollywood and Bollywood celebrities, including Mark Zuckerberg, Bill Gates, and Ivanka Trump.

Ambani Wedding Celeb Performances
The pre-wedding celebrations featured a performance by pop sensation Rihanna, making her debut in India, and an illusionist show by David Blaine. Bollywood stars and family members also participated in the sangeet performances, with a special appearance by Diljit Dosanjh.

In anticipation of the wedding, a video of the Mosalu ceremony has gone viral, showcasing the grand preparations. The event was a testament to the importance of family and tradition, as well as the Ambanis' generosity and attention to detail in their celebrations.
