Netizens surely missed the presence of filmmaker and party-starter Karan Johar at the much-discussed pre-marriage celebration of Anant Ambani, son of Asia’s wealthiest man Mukesh Ambani, and his fiancée Radhika Merchant, in Jamnagar, India, last weekend.
The most prominent Bollywood stars descended in Gujarat’s Jamnagar last weekend, as they celebrated the talk of the town couple, Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant, ahead of their grand wedding this summer.
However, only a few names who were notably absent from the most prominent wedding festivities of the year included the top Bollywood wedding guest, Karan Johar, and the internet was curious to know why and if he was invited by the Ambanis or not!
Reportedly, the filmmaker was not only invited but was even supposed to perform at the event. He even rehearsed for his performance with close friend and top fashion designer Manish Malhotra, who eventually took the stage with emerging Bollywood divas, Janhvi and Khushi Kapoor, Ananya Panday, and Sarah Ali Khan, on the classic wedding song ‘Bole Chudiyan.’
If reports are accurate, Johar came down with a viral fever at the last minute, along with a sore throat, hence, decided to stay back for health reasons.
Using his Instagram account earlier this week, the ‘Rocky Aur Rani kii Prem Kahaani’ director sent his heartfelt congratulations to the couple and their families.
Notably, the three-day pre-marriage celebration for Anant Ambani, 28, and his longtime girlfriend, Radhika Merchant, 29, was held over the past weekend, in a township in Jamnagar near Reliance’s main oil refinery in the western state of Gujarat, India, ahead of their grand wedding this summer.
