About Karan Johar’s absence at Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant’s pre-wedding festivities

Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant’s pre-wedding celebrations in Jamnagar were star-studded, but many people pointed out Karan Johar’s absence at the event. According to a recent report in India Today, Karan Johar was all set to attend the pre-wedding celebrations with his friend-fashion designer Manish Malhotra and perform in the sangeet. Unfortunately, Karan unexpectedly fell ill with a viral infection and sore throat, forcing him to cancel his plans at the last minute.

Since Karan couldn’t attend the pre-wedding celebrations, Manish took the stage and performed on the song Bole Chudiyan along with young and beautiful actresses Ananya Panday, Sara Ali Khan, Janhvi Kapoor and Khushi Kapoor. The source also told the portal that Karan and Manish had already rehearsed for the performance. But, despite not being present at the event, Karan extended his warm wishes to Anant and Radhika over the phone and expressed his intention to meet them in person soon.

Karan Johar shares emotional video of Anant Ambani-Radhika Merchant’s pre-wedding event

On March 6, Karan Johar posted an emotional video of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant’s pre-wedding celebrations on his Instagram account. The video was created by Karan’s Dharma 2.0, an extension of Dharma Productions.

The two-minute video shows bride-to-be Radhika walking towards Anant. As she walks, a melodious rendition of ‘Dekha Tenu Pehli Pehli Baar Ve’ (Shava Shava) from Karan Johar’s film Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham plays in the background. It beautifully reflects the emotions of the couple and their families. Anant hugs Radhika, gently kissing her forehead, while Radhika, with tears in her eyes, full of anticipation, comes closer to Anant and dances to the song.

Sharing the video, Karan Johar wrote, “Hearty congratulations to Anant and Radhika Merchant! The ceremonies were not only steeped in warmth, family bonding and immense love, but also beautifully echoed our glorious Indian traditions… Pre-wedding festivities are a testament to the love for family in everyone’s hearts! My deepest love to Neeta Bhabhi, Mukesh Bhai, @aambani1 and @shloka11, @_iiishmagish and @nandpiramal. And lots of love to Radhika and Anant…congratulations! @Dharma2pointo.”
