MUMBAI: Anant Ambani, the youngest son of Reliance Industries Chairman Mukesh Ambani, and Radhika Merchant, daughter of industrialist Viren Merchant are all set to get married on July 12.
After their extravagant Sangeet ceremony, which also included pop icon Justin Bieber’s performance, the couple celebrated their Haldi ceremony on Monday. It was a star-studded affair with who’s who of Bollywood graced the function. Founder and Chairperson of Reliance Foundation Nita Ambani, opted for a stunning suit look for the ceremony.
Nita Ambani looked gorgeous in a golden suit designed by Manish Malhotra. The celebrity designer took to his official Instagram handle to share her picture.
The suit featured an elaborate border made using a silver chatai technique. The long sleeves of the kurta had silver embroidery at the cuffs, and the double-drape Khada dupatta, embroidered with zardozi and antique embroidery completed the look.
She further accessorised her look with a matching golden maang tikka, and statement silver jhumkas. Nita Ambani kept her hair loose in a wavy look.
The description of the outfit reads, “The beautiful Mrs. Nita Mukesh Ambani, known for her profound appreciation of craftsmanship, radiates grace in a custom Manish Malhotra antique gold ensemble. Inspired by the classic Hyderabadi kurta paired with a Khada dupatta (double drape), this bespoke creation is adorned with antique zari and timeless zardosi embroidery. Elevated by an intricate silver-gold Chatai technique border, she gracefully epitomises regal elegance.”
