For Radhika Merchant and Anant Ambani's pre-wedding soirees, the Ambanis preferred Manish Malhotra outfits over Sabyasachi Mukherjee. Find out why!
Mukesh Ambani and Nita Ambani's youngest son, Anant Ambani, will get married to his ladylove, Radhika Merchant, on July 12, 2024. The Ambani ladies are leaving no stone unturned to slay at the grand pre-wedding soirees of the couple. Radhika and Anant previously had two pre-wedding soirees, and the third one is currently happening in full swing. However, it is worth mentioning that none of the Ambani ladies or gents opted for any attire from Sabyasachi Mukherjee.
There is no denying that Sabyasachi Mukherjee is among the favourite designers of celebrities. From Katrina Kaif to Alia Bhatt and Priyanka Chopra, every other actress opted for Sabyasachi outfits for their D-Day. However, when it came to Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant's pre-wedding gala, the Ambanis didn't wear a single outfit from Sabyasachi's collection. All this led the people to speculate that something was off between the designer and the Ambani clan.

However, if reports are to be believed, the rumours about the feud are baseless, and it is rather a business move by the Ambanis. Aditya Birla Group, which is Reliance's rival company, owns a stake of 51% in Sabyasachi. Hence, choosing Sabyasachi means giving some profit margin to the Birla group. So, the Ambanis instead opted for Manish Malhotra's outfits, as they own a stake of 40% in his company. The Ambanis are pushing their investments forward by flaunting MM outfits at the gala affair.
Radhika Merchant and Anant Ambani also had an intimate celebration at Stoke Park, London, and the bride-to-be donned some stunning outfits from international labels. For the event, the bride-to-be, Radhika opted for a white-hued double satin draped gown from designer, Tamara Ralph. Her outfit had a corset bustier and dramatic overskirt adorned with crystal-encrusted roses on the neckline and waist. Radhika completed her look with diamond studs, a bracelet, and a crystal rose hair accessory. Radhika looked like a vision to behold in white in her royal attire and exuded princess vibes.

Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant's second pre-wedding celebrations began on May 29, 2024, with a lunch on board the cruise, and the guests were requested to wear Western formals. The bride-to-be showcased her immense love for her soon-to-be-husband, Anant Ambani, and paid tribute to their love story with a special dress at the event. Radhika slipped into a white-hued chiffon gown designed by Robert Wun, which had Anant's love letters printed on it. In a conversation with Vogue, Radhika opened up about the same and said:
"He wrote me this long letter for my birthday about what I mean to him. I wanted it for posterity—I want to be able to show it to my kids and grandkids, and say that ‘this is what our love was.’"
