Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant are set to have a fabulous three-day pre-wedding bash in Gujarat. Mukesh Ambani and Nita Ambani had declared that the families of the couple will have a three-day party, on March 1, 2, and 3, in Jamnagar, with the biggest Bollywood stars in attendance.
The ceremony is occurring a year after Anant and Radhika got engaged. The couple got engaged last year before they arranged an engagement party for their families and friends.

Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant: Love Story

Very few details regarding their romantic tale have been shared by the family. Many media reports confirm the fact that Anant and Radhika have been friends since their childhood. It was in 2018 that people came to be familiar with their relationship. It was a photograph of the couple where they were lost in one another's eyes which went viral throwing their relationship in the spotlight. 
Although the couple had not revealed insight into their relationship at that point, Radhika would frequently go to the Ambani family's close occasions. She was available at Isha Ambani's wedding with Anand Piramal, which occurred in 2018, and Akash Ambani's wedding with Shloka Mehta, which occurred in 2019.
