The grand wedding festivities of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant are finally coming to a close. As the final leg of wedding functions wows people with one grand look after another, we can’t help but swoon over Anjali Merchant’s lehenga for the haldi ceremony that was recently held at Antilia.

Radhika Merchant’s sister, Anjali Merchant was seen enjoying the haldi festivities at Antilia in a resplendent lehenga. She wore a royal blue choli with an extravagant pink Banarasi lehenga, tying the whole outfit together with a mustard dupatta for contrast.

The Banarasi lehenga skirt was done up in shades of orange and pink with zardozi work done over the whole outfit, which made it shine. She accessorised her lehenga with a choker made from pearls, rubies and emeralds. Anjali chose to wear her hair in a ponytail to highlight her jewellery and the gorgeous blouse.

The lehenga is from the renowned fashion band, Jayanti Reddy. According to the official website, it is priced at a whopping Rs. 3.5 lakhs.

The haldi ceremony was attended by many Bollywood celebs like Ananya Panday, Sara Ali Khan, Orry, Manushi Chillar, etc. After the ceremony, many videos from the event started going viral on social media, like a haldi covered Ranveer Singh getting inside his car and Salman Khan in a yellow kurta entering the venue.

Celebs like Orry and Alaviaa Jaaferi were also seen leaving Antilia after the haldi ceremony, wearing the official wedding merchandise with Anant and Radhika’s initials on a blue shirt.

The Ambanis have been celebrating the wedding since 2022 December, when the couple had their roka ceremony. In January 2023, they organised an engagement ceremony at Antilia which was attended by celebrities and industrialists from across the country. The festivities continued in 2024 with a three-day long pre-wedding soiree in Jamnagar that saw performances by Rihanna, Diljit Dosnajh, etc.

Guests were also invited to a French cruise in the last week of May for another three-day pre-wedding function that saw performances by Katy Perry, Pitbull, Backstreet Boys, etc. However, this wasn’t the end of high profile performances by international artists. On 5th July, Justin Bieber performed at the sangeet ceremony of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant and was paid a whopping Rs. 83 crore for the same. There are also rumours that Drake might perform at the wedding reception.
