From Bollywood stars to Justin Bieber, Radhika Merchant and Anant Ambani's Sangeet was an unimaginable ceremony. Here's a quick look into it!
It's one thing to dream of a sangeet ceremony at your wedding that looks straight out of a movie but it's a whole other story when Bollywood is not just the theme of your wedding but your entire guest list. And you know there's only one couple at the moment who can pull this off - Radhika Merchant and Anant Ambani! These festivities have been going on for quite some time now. So much so that these days, the running joke is that while the Indian cricket team lost and won the T20 World Cup, the wedding festivities of the Ambanis don't seem to end! Jokes apart, when the whose who of B-Town show up in their most ethreal ensembles, we're all guilty of dissecting each look whilst also feeling the FOMO of not being invited to the most lavish wedding we've seen in a decade!
Here's a quick dabble into what happened at Radhika and Anant's Sangeet!
Justin Bieber's performance!
The Ambanis constantly outdo themselves when it comes to inviting massively popular artists from the west. After Rihanna, Katy Perry, Backstreet Boys, and others were invited to perform at the pre-wedding festivities at Jamnagar, this time around, they invited Justin Bieber to perform at the couple's starry Sangeet ceremony hosted at the NMAAC on July 5. He was seen performing his popular songs like Baby, Sorry, Boyfriend and many other hits that we've loved since the early 2000s. He was wearing a white vest and baggy pants, while the crowd went gaga over him. The videos from the night and pictures that Bieber himself uploaded on his Instagram went viral not just in India but had everyone around the world wondering who made Justin Bieber get back on stage after such a long time!
Bollywood stars were grooving together
Vicky Kaushal and Shehnaaz Gill took to the dance floor and mesmerized the guests with Tauba Tauba, while Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, Ranveer Singh, and others were also seen performing. Salman Khan danced to the tunes of the No Entry title track and Aisa Pehli Baar Hua Hai. Ananya, Sara, Orry, and others were seen jiving to the rhythm of songs from K3G.
