New Delhi: Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant's lavish pre-wedding festivities concluded on March 3 but the social media buzz surrounding the event remains unabated. Numerous celebrities who graced the three-day extravaganza in Jamnagar, Gujarat, continue to share glimpses of the affair on social media. Filmmaker Karan Johar on Wednesday recently took to his Instagram handle to share a video of the last day of the event. The video is produced by his venture, Dharma 2.0, an extension of Dharma Productions.
The poignant two-minute video encapsulates the emotions within the Ambani family, with Radhika, the bride-to-be, making her way down the aisle accompanied by the reprised version of "Dekha Tenu Pehli Pehli Baar Ve" (Shava Shava) from Karan's film 'Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham.' Dressed in a Tarun Tahiliani ensemble, Radhika, with teary eyes, gracefully dances to the track, approaching an eagerly awaiting Anant.
While sharing the video Karan wrote, "Heartiest congratulations to Anant and @radhikamerchant!
