- Next weekend, Indian billionaire's son Anant Ambani and his longtime girlfriend Radhika Merchant are getting married in Mumbai.
- The Ambani family is known for having pop stars perform at their celebrations.
- Last weekend, US singer Justin Bieber performed at one of the various pre-wedding celebrations.
- According to media reports, the pop star was paid a fee of 10 million dollars for his performance.
Even the invitation to the wedding of Indian billionaire couple Anant Ambani and Juli Radhika Merchant was something special: instead of a card, guests received a pompous box with an image of the Hindu god Vishnu.
The Ambani family made a billion-dollar fortune with chemicals and textiles, while the Merchants made a lot of money with the Encore Healthcare company.
However, the Ambanis have not only amassed a huge fortune, they also love to party. Last weekend, Mukesh and Nita Ambani hosted the third engagement party for their youngest son Anant and his bride.
The groom's father paid for Bieber's appearance
During the so-called sangeet party, one of the many celebrations that take place in the run-up to a Hindu wedding, Justin Bieber was one of the performers.
According to media reports, the groom's father is said to have flown the US pop star to India for a fee of ten million US dollars.
Videos on Tiktok show the arrival of Justin Bieber at Mumbai airport. The singer is escorted to a luxury limousine by security staff, while onlookers and photographers repeatedly shout his name.
During his performance at the Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Center (NMACC), Justin Bieber also brought the bride and groom on stage. As "Times of India" writes, the trio then posed together for the photographers.
Main ceremony to take place next weekend
Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant will tie the knot next weekend in a three-day Hindu ceremony. The main ceremony is scheduled to take place on July 12, followed by a grand reception on July 14.
According to media reports, the celebrations will take place at the Jio World Convention Center and the Ambanis' family home in Mumbai. According to Hindu custom, the couple's wedding date was chosen based on their birth charts.
It is now being speculated which pop star, after Justin Bieber and Rihanna, who performed during the first pre-celebration last March, will grace the actual wedding ceremony of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant next weekend with a performance.
There is speculation about a possible performance by singers Adele and Lana Del Rey and rapper Drake, among others.
