Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant were all smiles as they posed for photographers at their sangeet ceremony. The sangeet event, dubbed ‘Celebration of Hearts’, is taking place at the Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre in Mumbai.
The couple posed happily for the shutterbugs before entering the venue. Radhika Merchant looked stunning in a chartreuse green lehenga with an off-shoulder blouse, very much in keeping with the Indian regal dress code for the night. Her fiance Anant Ambani colour-coordinated with her - he opted for an emroidered traditional outfit.
Both the outfits were custom made by Abu Jami Sandeep Khosla.
“Aap khaana khake jaiyega (Please eat dinner before you leave),” Radhika Merchant was filmed telling the paparazzi before she entered the venue. Anant Ambani echoed her words - “Sab khaana khaa ke jaana," he told the assembled army of paparazzi.
Take a look at the video below:
