The moment was made even more enchanting by a live rendition from singer Shreya Ghoshal, enhancing the magical atmosphere. Several videos capturing Radhika's emotional walk down the aisle with her father, Viren Merchant, quickly went viral, showcasing her touching journey to the mandap amidst cheers and smiles from family and friends. These heartfelt scenes resonated deeply across social media, with viewers praising the display of genuine emotions.
The star-studded wedding ceremony was graced by luminaries from Bollywood, business, and politics, including Shah Rukh Khan, Gauri Khan, Salman Khan, Alia Bhatt, Ranbir Kapoor, Deepika Padukone, Ranveer Singh, Priyanka Chopra, Nick Jonas, and international star Kim Kardashian.
Radhika Merchant's bridal attire for the vidai ceremony, meticulously styled by Rhea Kapoor, reflected a perfect blend of cultural heritage and contemporary flair.

The ensemble was completed with a Banarasi silk dupatta and a veil cascading into a dramatic train, exuding timeless elegance.
Adding to her regal appearance were heirloom jewellery pieces, embellished with gold, diamonds, and emeralds, passed down through generations. Each accessory, from the choker to the mang tika, contributed to Radhika's majestic presence on her special day.
The celebrations continue with 'Shubh Aashirwad' on July 13 and 'Mangal Utsav,' the grand wedding reception, on July 14.
