Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant are all set to tie the knot on July 12. However, the festivities around their wedding started way before in March, continuing till date with the latest being a grand dandiya night hosted by Anant’s grandmother Kokilaben Ambani. The event, that took place in Mumbai on Thursday, was attended by several celebrities including Manushi Chhillar, Meezaan Jafri, Shikhar and Veer Pahariya, among others.
Visuals from the intimate dandiya night have now made it to the internet, giving a sneak peek into the event’s decoration and outfits of the bride, groom, and the guests in attendance.
