Anant Ambani, the youngest son of Mukesh and Nita Ambani, and Radhika Merchant, the daughter of Viren and Shaila Merchant, are all set to tie the knot soon. The couple's pre-wedding celebrations have begun with a noble gesture of 'anna seva'.
'Anna seva' is a tradition of serving food to the underprivileged as a way of expressing gratitude and seeking blessings. Anant and Radhika, along with their families, participated in this service at the Sri Narayan Seva Sansthan in Udaipur on February 28, 2024.
The Ambani and Merchant families served food to more than 2,000 specially-abled children and senior citizens at the charitable institution. They also interacted with the beneficiaries and distributed gifts to them. The 'anna seva' was followed by a special aarti at the temple.
Anant and Radhika have been dating for a long time and their relationship was confirmed by Nita Ambani in 2019. The couple has been spotted together at various family and social events, such as weddings, festivals, and sports matches.
Anant is the youngest of the three Ambani siblings, after Akash and Isha. He is a director at Reliance Retail and Reliance Jio Infocomm. He is also a co-owner of the Indian Premier League team Mumbai Indians. He is known for his philanthropic and spiritual interests.
Radhika is the daughter of Viren Merchant, the CEO and vice-chairman of Encore Healthcare. She is a graduate of New York University and has worked as a sales executive at Isprava, a luxury real estate firm. She is also passionate about social causes and animal welfare.
The couple's wedding date has not been officially announced yet, but it is expected to be a July 12, just like the weddings of Akash and Isha. The Ambani and Merchant families have reportedly booked several hotels and venues in Udaipur for the festivities.
