The younger Ambani, 28, will marry his bride-to-be, Radhika Merchant, 29, in July, according to multiple outlets. Pop superstar Rihanna entertained a plethora of important guests during the celebrations.

“First night in India – a magical evening in Everland!” former President Trump’s daughter wrote in a post on Instagram. “Sending warm wishes to Anant and Radhika for endless happiness and love as they embark on this wonderful adventure together.”
