Jamnagar (Gujarat) [India], February 29 (ANI): Pop queen Rihanna on Thursday arrived in Jamnagar, Gujarat to attend the pre-wedding festivities of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant.
Reliance Chairman Mukesh Ambani’s youngest son, Anant, is set to tie the knot with industrialist Viren Merchant’s daughter, Radhika Merchant, later this year.
The celeb guests are arriving in the city to be part of Anant and Radhika’s wedding celebrations.
In a viral video, Singer Rihanna could be seen making her exit from the airport donning a black high-neck top paired with purple cargo pants. She tied a stripped cloth on her waist.

On Wednesday, the Ambani family organised ‘anna seva’ to seek the blessings of the local community for the pre-wedding celebrations of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant. After the meal, the attendees enjoyed traditional folk music. Famous Gujarati singer Kirtidan Gadhvi stole the show with his singing.
