This week, the spotlight shone on Radhika Merchant, fiancée to Anant Ambani and soon-to-be daughter-in-law of billionaire Mukesh Ambani, as she shared glimpses of her luxurious hen party.
The festivities were themed around the beloved movie The Princess Diaries, with guests donning matching pyjamas and engaging in playful ‘mattress surfing’ down staircases, reminiscent of the sequel’s iconic scene.
The magical evening was hosted by Bollywood star Janhvi Kapoor, adding an extra layer of A-list opulence. As the official wedding on July 12 draws near, Radhika's close friends and family gathered for the intimate and joyful celebration; which follows their opulent pre-wedding bash attended by notable names such as Karlie Kloss, Mark Zuckerberg, and Rihanna.
