The festivities for the much-awaited big fat Indian wedding of Anant Ambani, youngest son of India’s richest man Mukesh Ambani, and his fiance, Radhika Merchant, are in full swing before the couple finally ties the knot in the three-day affair next week.
On Friday, the Ambani family hosted the whole of Bollywood, along with Justin Bieber as well as the top cricketers of the country, for the sangeet ceremony of the couple, at Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre (NMACC), in Mumbai.

The pictures and videos from the starry affair, doing rounds on social media, prove that the event was no less than a Bollywood awards ceremony, with A-list actors taking the stage and burning the dance floor with their moves.
Have a look at all the highlights of the ceremony:
The Ambani family had their own little (definitely not so) ‘Deewangi Deewangi’ moment, as all four couples took the stage to perform on the title song of Shah Rukh Khan’s ‘Om Shanti Om’.

Notably, the three-day wedding affair for Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant will be held from July 12 to 14, beginning with ‘Shubh Vivaah’, followed by ‘Shubh Aashirwad’ and ‘Mangal Utsav’.
The celebrations kickstarted earlier this week, with a mameru ceremony – a Gujarati tradition where the maternal uncle (mama) of the bride visits her with sweets and gifts, followed by the dandiya and garba night, hosted by the matriarch of the family, Kokilaben Dhirubai Ambani.
Earlier, Ambanis hosted two legs of pre-wedding festivities for their youngest son and his fiance, in March and June.
