The theme of the night was 'An Evening in Everland' with the dress code 'Elegant Cocktail'. As Rihanna made her way from the Jamnagar airport. She was asked about the concert and the pre-wedding celebration, to which replied, "It was the best, can't wait to come back to India, baby." Asked if she liked the stay here, she said, "I loved it." Videos of her singing at the event have surfaced on social media as well.
It was earlier reported that Rihanna was paid an exorbitant amount to perform. As per MailOnline, the Grammy-winning singer charged a whopping USD 5 million which comes to around Rs 41.4 crore. It doesn't come as a shocker since Ambani had previously paid USD 6 million to Beyonce to perform at his daughter Isha's wedding in 2018.
Back in 2021, Rihanna made headlines in India for extending her support to farmers protesting on the borders of Delhi against the three agriculture laws introduced by the Central government.
Anant and Radhika got engaged in a traditional Gujarati ceremony known as Gol Dhana in Mumbai on January 19, 2023. The pre-wedding festivities kickstarted on Wednesday with 'anna seva'. At Jogwad village near Reliance Township in Jamnagar, members of the Ambani family served traditional Gujarati food to the villagers. Food will be served to about 51,000 residents, which will continue for the next few days to seek the blessings of the native community.
