Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant are celebrating their upcoming wedding in Jamnagar, as per their parents Mukesh Ambani and Nita Ambani’s wishes, and they forget Bollywood and even Hollywood celebs are dropping in for the event. And who better than Queen Rihanna to keep the guests entertained?
Anant and Radhika will get married in July, but a pre-wedding ceremony is being hosted by the Ambanis to celebrate their roots. An entourage of global celebs, including the former US President, have arrived in Jamnagar for the event.
Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant’s pre-wedding ceremony is a three-day event, and reports suggest that pop sensation Rihanna will be performing at the event along with Arijit Singh, Diljit Dosanjh, Pritam, Hariharan and Ajay-Atul.
But while Rihanna is the star attraction of the event this year, earlier, many global performers, from Beyonce to Chris Martin, performed for the Ambanis.
In fact, Rihanna is being paid 250% more this year than Beyonce was paid for an event a few years ago. Here is a list of the lowest-paid to highest-paid celebrities at Ambani events.
