Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], July 11 : Rapper Yo Yo Honey Singh was spotted in Mumbai ahead of his performance at the wedding of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant, which is set to take place on July 12.
The rapper was all smiles as he arrived at the airport, dressed in all white. He was warmly greeted by fans, one of whom took a selfie with him and even touched his feet as a gesture of respect.
Surprised by this gesture, Honey Singh was heard saying, "Itna budha nahi hua mai" (I'm not that old yet).
Meanwhile, a special puja was organised on Wednesday ahead of Anant and Radhika's grand wedding.
Earlier on Tuesday, the Ambani family hosted a vibrant 'haldi' ceremony at their iconic residence, Antilia, in Mumbai.
The lavish affair was attended by close family members and Bollywood personalities. Among the guests were Anant's uncle and well-known businessman Anil Ambani, accompanied by his wife, the former actor Tina Ambani.
Salman Khan, dressed in a radiant yellow kurta and black pyjamas, also arrived in style to extend his blessings to the soon-to-be-wed couple. His presence added to the star-studded list of attendees, which included Ranveer Singh, Ananya Panday, and Sara Ali Khan, among others.
On Sunday, Anant and Radhika took part in a Grah Shanti Puja ceremony. Singer Nikita Waghela took to Instagram to share glimpses from the event, including the serene moments of the Grah Shanti and Mandap Muhurat Puja.
Radhika looked stunning in a cream and golden saree decorated with exquisite jewellery, while Anant sported a red kurta paired with a golden jacket.
As part of the wedding celebrations, Mukesh Ambani and Nita Ambani recently organised a mass wedding for the underprivileged on July 2 at Swami Vivekanand Vidyamandir in Palghar.
On July 3, Ambanis organised a spectacular Mameru ceremony- a Gujarati wedding tradition where the bride's maternal uncle (mama) visits her with sweets and gifts.
