Justin Bieber is the latest worldwide talent to perform for Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant in honor of their approaching wedding. The Canadian musician came to Mumbai for the weekend to entertain the couple and their friends. This concert follows an incredible list of earlier performances, which included Rihanna and The Backstreet Boys, as well as Katy Perry and Andrea Bocelli on a Mediterranean cruise. The family remains silent as rumors start to swirl that Adele could perform as the wedding date draws near.
Mukesh Ambani's youngest son's wedding is expected to be one of the most lavish Indian weddings, surpassing his daughter's wedding, which included Beyoncé. The Ambani family did a choreographed dance to Shah Rukh Khan's classic song, Deewangi Deewangi, during the sangeet event in a pre-wedding evening of music and dance. Guests, including some of India's most recognized celebrities, wore clothing produced by well-known fashion designers, transforming the pre-wedding festivities into both fashion displays and concerts.
The cost of the pre-wedding parties is unknown, although Rihanna was reportedly paid $7 million for her performance, while Justin Bieber's fee is said to be $10 million. The succession of activities has attracted wedding viewers all over the world, who are excited to see what the three-day wedding celebration will involve. While some in India may be pleased when the wedding's luxury ends, Mumbai locals hope it does not worsen the city's infamous gridlock.
In an interview with Vogue US, Radhika Merchant said that wedding preparations was going well and that she was excited to be married. As the last preparations are made, the Ambani wedding continues to attract attention for its extravagance and high-profile performances.
