New Delhi: The Bollywood wedding season has begun. Mukesh Ambani's son Anant Ambani and his rumoured fiancée Radhika Merchant reportedly had their roka ceremony in Rajasthan earlier on Thursday. Reports suggest that the ceremony took place in the Shrinathji temple located in Nathdwara. Radhika Merchant is the daughter of Shaila and Viren Merchant.
The news about Anant and Radhika's roka ceremony surfaced after Parimal Nathwani, the Director-Corporate Affairs of Reliance Industries Limited and a member of the Nathdwara temple board tweeted about it.
ANI also shared pictures from the ceremony where we see Anant in a fuchsia pink kurta complimented with a Nehru coat. Radhika, on the other hand, was seen in a rose quartz lehenga with a minimal makeup look and contrasting green coloured jewellery.
As per Vogue India, Radhika and Anant have known each other since childhood. Radhika is a Political and Economics graduate from New York University. She happens to be the daughter of industrialist Viren Merchant, the CEO and Vice Chairman of Encore Healthcare.
Radhika's equation with Anant first came to limelight when she performed at Isha Ambani’s engagement ceremony with the bride and Shloka Mehta, wife of Akash Ambani.
Meanwhile, Anant completed his studies from Brown University in the USA and has since served at Reliance industries in various capacities including as a member on the Boards of Jio Platforms and Reliance Retail Ventures. He currently leads the energy business of RIL. Radhika is a graduate of New York University and serves as a Director on the Board of Encore Healthcare.
Looks like December is a lucky month for the Ambanis. Earlier, the family celebrated the arrival of Anand Piramal's twins, Aadiya and Krishna.
