Anant Ambani-Radhika Merchant Pre-Wedding: After the extravagant pre-wedding festivities in Jamnagar, the Ambani family is now celebrating the upcoming wedding of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant in a luxurious cruise from Italy to the south of France. The guest list includes several Bollywood celebrities, such as Shah Rukh Khan and Ranveer Singh. According to the videos going viral on the internet, it appears that the iconic 1990s band, the Backstreet Boys performed on the first night.
Backstreet Boys performance
Videos of the performance have been circulating online, and while the faces of the band members are not clearly visible, the unmistakable sound and energy suggest it is indeed the Backstreet Boys. Clips show the band, consisting of Nick Carter, Howie Dorough, Brian Littrell, AJ McLean, and Kevin Richardson, performing their hit song “Backstreet’s Back,” much to the delight of the guests. One excited fan wrote, "BACKSTREET BOYS? BACKSTREET BOYS? BACKSTREET BOYS??????" while another humorously speculated if the Ambanis could reunite One Direction, asking, “Can Ambanis get One Direction reunited and ask them to perform?”
There are reports that Pitbull and Shakira might perform on the cruise, though no official confirmation has been made.
