Mukesh and Nita Ambani are also expected to take the stage, as they have been spotted participating in the preparations. The Ambani family has curated an opulent food menu, featuring a range of delicious Gujarati chaats, snacks, dips, ice cream, various sabzi, roti, and other delicacies to treat their guests, family, and friends during the grand celebration.

Radhika Merchant is the daughter of Viren Merchant, the CEO of Encore Healthcare, and Shaila Merchant.

The formal engagement between Anant and Radhika took place during a Gol Dhana ceremony in Mumbai on January 19, 2023. Gol Dhana marks the distribution of coriander seeds and jaggery to guests, which signifies engagement in Gujarati weddings. The bride, accompanied by her family, traditionally brings sweets and gifts to the groom's house.

A roka ceremony also took place at the Shrinathji Temple in Nathdwara, Rajasthan.
