Ambani Mehendi: Shloka Keeps It Simple, Sweet

The celebrations continued with the mehendi ceremony for Radhika Merchant and Anant Ambani. 

Shloka Ambani looked lovely in a custom paan tissue sari and a lime green dupatta from the House Of Masaba.

For her accessories, she chose her Nani’s jewels.

 

Nita Ambani, in a resplendent blue dupatta and gorgeously embroidered green ghagra, greeted the media.

 

Earlier, for the Mata Ki Chowki, the mother of the groom chose a vibrant red bandhini sari, embroidered with gold.

 

Anant Ambani’s grandmother, Kokilaben, wore a red and white sari with a bejewelled border.

 

Tina Ambani kept her outfit simple and let the spotlight shine on her gold dupatta and potli bag.

Anil Ambani, on the other hand, stuck to silken black and white.

 

Radhika’s mother, Shaila Merchant, picked a pink Benarasi sari for the occasion.

Her father, Viren Merchant, wore a green vest over his gold kurta in honour of the mehendi ceremony.

He also wore a Ganpati brooch, like his samdhi, Mukesh Ambani, had for the haldi ceremony. 

 

That’s Mukeshbhai’s other samdhi, Ajay Piramal, who wore a white kurta and dhoti.

 

Both the groom’s buas were there to bless the couple.
