It is indeed a very celebratory moment for the Ambanis. Anant Ambani got engaged to Radhika Merchant today at the Darbar of Lord Srinathji at Nathdwara, Rajasthan. The lovebirds were seen together on several occasions and all eyes were on the lovely couple, after Anant’s siblings, Akash and Isha got married to Shloka Mehta and Anand Piramal respectively.
Radhika Merchant’s best friend, Orhan Awataramani shared an adorable picture of Anant and Radhika and congratulated them on his Instagram story. He even put a ring emoji to confirm the news that the duo is engaged.
If you are wondering who Radhika Merchant is, then here are a few facts about her:
Radhika Merchant, 24 is Viren Merchant, the CEO of Encore Healthcare and Shaila Merchant’s daughter. She also has a younger sister, Anjali Merchant. Having done her schooling at the Cathedral and John Connon School in Mumbai and Ecole Mondiale World School, Radhika went on to study politics and economics at New York University. After graduating, Radhika returned to India and began working as a sales professional in a real estate firm.
Radhika is also a trained classical dancer. She learnt Bharatnatyam at Shree Nibha Arts for almost 8 years under the guidance of Guru Bhavana Thakar. In fact, Radhika’s ‘arangetram’ i.e the official ascent to the stage ceremony was organised by her to-be in-laws. She will be the second person in the Ambani clan to know Bharatnatyam, after Nita Ambani.
Radhika and Anant were childhood friends and in 2019, there were several reports about Anant and Radhika getting engaged. But nobody from the Ambani family confirmed the news. In 2018, Anant and Radhika shared this adorable picture where they are looking at each other while wearing matching green robes. The photo went viral with many social media users wishing the new couple good luck.
