Anant Ambani, Director at Reliance Industries, and Radhika Merchant are gearing up for their impending nuptials scheduled later this year and pre-wedding festivities this weekend. The couple has chosen the picturesque city of Jamnagar, Gujarat, as the venue for their three-day pre-wedding gala, set to kick off on March 1 at the opulent Ambani residence.
In an exclusive interview with CNBC Awaaz, Anant Ambani shed light on the rationale behind selecting Jamnagar as the backdrop for their celebrations.
Drawing a sentimental connection to the city, he revealed, "My grandmother hails from Jamnagar. My mother, along with my grandmother, has played a pivotal role in shaping the city, contributing to its growth brick by brick. While Mumbai is my home, Jamnagar holds a special place in my heart. Spending my childhood here has created cherished memories. Choosing Jamnagar as the venue was not only a nod to my roots but also a suggestion from my parents and grandmother."
Ambani further expressed his eagerness to celebrate the joyous occasion with colleagues and associates. "It provides me with an opportunity to share the festivities with my colleagues and the wonderful people I work with," he added.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi has advocated for a new initiative akin to 'Make in India,' urging wealthy industrialists to adopt 'Wed in India.'?
He is urging them to organize at least one destination wedding annually in Uttarakhand, foreseeing the state as a rising wedding destination.
As the Ambani-Merchant wedding extravaganza unfolds in Jamnagar, it promises to be a blend of tradition, glamour, and heartfelt celebrations, marking the union of two prominent families.
