About Karan Johar’s absence from Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant’s pre-wedding festivities
Although Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant's pre-wedding celebrations in Jamnagar was a star-studded affair, Karan Johar’s absence from the event was pointed out by many. According to India Today, Karan Johar was excited to join the celebrations and even perform at the sangeet with his friend, fashion designer Manish Malhotra. However, he unexpectedly fell ill with a viral infection and sore throat, which led to him having to cancel his plans at the last minute.
As Karan could not attend the pre-wedding celebrations, Manish took over the stage and performed on the song Bole Chudiyaan along with the young and gorgeous actresses Ananya Panday, Sara Ali Khan, Janhvi Kapoor, and Khushi Kapoor. The source also informed the portal that Karan and Manish had already rehearsed for the performance beforehand. But, despite not being present at the event, Karan conveyed his heartfelt wishes to Anant and Radhika over the phone and expressed his intention to meet them in person soon.
Karan Johar shares emotional video from Anant Ambani-Radhika Merchant’s pre-wedding event
On March 6, Karan Johar posted a heartfelt video on his Instagram account from Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant's pre-wedding celebration. The video was created by Karan's Dharma 2.0, which is an expansion of Dharma Productions.
The two-minute video features Radhika, the bride-to-be, walking towards Anant. As she walks, a mellow 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 captures the emotions of the couple and their families. Anant embraces Radhika, gently kissing her forehead, while Radhika, with tears in her eyes, dances to the song as she approaches Anant, filled with anticipation.
Sharing the video, Karan Johar wrote, “Heartiest congratulations to Anant and @radhikamerchant! The celebrations were not only deeply immersed in warmth, family bonds and immense love but so beautifully resonant of our glorious Indian traditions...The pre wedding festivities are a testament to the love the family has in everyone’s hearts!
