Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant’s lavish wedding festivities were attended by several VIPs. Besides the two pre-wedding events (the Jamnagar celebrations and the luxury Mediterranean cruise), the week leading up to the big day was also an eventful one – featuring a sangeet, a garba night, a mass wedding for the underprivileged, a mameru ceremony, haldi, mehendi, a Shiv Shakti Pooja and a Graha Shanti Pooja.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi, former UK PMs Tony Blair and Boris Johnson, reality TV stars Kim and Khloe Kardashian, T20 champions Hardik Pandya, Jasprit Bumrah, Rohit Sharma, Rajya Sabha member Sudha Murty, politicians like Akhilesh Yadav were just some of the high-profile guests who attended the wedding. Besides friends and family, most of Bollywood was in attendance at the festivities too, with a few notable exceptions.
Here is a look at some VIPs we expected to see at Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant’s wedding festivities, but did not:
Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma
The power couple was not spotted at any of the pre-wedding festivities or the main event itself. While Kohli’s teammates attended the Ambani wedding, he flew to UK shortly before the start of the festivities to be with wife Anushka Sharma and their two children.
