The wedding of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant was a star-studded affair, with many notable moments capturing the public's attention. Among these, the interaction between Aishwarya Rai and veteran actress Rekha stood out, adding a touch of warmth to the grand ceremony. The wedding, held at Jio World Drive in Mumbai, saw the Bachchan family making a grand entrance.
Amitabh Bachchan led the family onto the red carpet, followed by Jaya Bachchan. They posed for photographers, joined by Abhishek Bachchan, Shweta Nanda, her husband Nikhil Nanda, and their children, Navya Naveli Nanda and Agastya Nanda. However, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan did not join them for the family photographs.
Anant Ambani Wedding: Aishwarya Rai Meets Rekha
Aishwarya Rai was captured on video meeting Rekha before arriving at the photo spot. The video shows Aishwarya, dressed in a red-and-golden anarkali with matching accessories, greeting Rekha warmly. The two shared a hug and a brief chat, with Rekha blessing Aishwarya’s daughter, Aaradhya, with a kiss. Aishwarya then proceeded to the red carpet, holding Aaradhya’s hand, and posed for photos with her daughter.
Aishwarya and Aaradhya posed separately from the rest of the Bachchan family. Aishwarya’s husband, Abhishek, along with his parents Amitabh and Jaya, sister Shweta, and her family, all posed together. The last time the entire Bachchan-Nanda family posed together was at the premiere of Zoya Akhtar’s Netflix film 'The Archies,' which marked Agastya Nanda’s debut.
