Mukesh Ambani and Nita Ambani’s youngest son, Anant Ambani, is set to marry Radhika Merchant, the daughter of Viren and Shaila Merchant, today in Mumbai. The wedding festivities will continue with the ‘Shubh Aashirwad’ ceremony on July 13 and conclude with the ‘Mangal Utsav’ on July 14.
Anant Ambani’s Health Struggles:
Asthma and Steroid Use:
Nita Ambani previously mentioned that Anant was highly asthmatic, requiring the use of steroids. Steroid use, while necessary for managing his asthma, contributed to significant weight gain due to several factors:
- Water Retention: Steroids cause the body to retain water, leading to bloating and puffiness.
- Increased Appetite: Steroids can enhance appetite, leading to higher calorie intake and potential weight gain.
- Fat Redistribution: Steroids can change how the body processes and distributes fat, often resulting in weight gain in areas like the face, abdomen, and back of the neck.
- Metabolism Impact: Steroids can affect metabolism, reducing the body’s ability to efficiently burn calories.
Weight Loss Journey:
Anant Ambani made headlines for losing 108 kg in just 18 months, inspiring many. His weight loss regimen included:
- Daily Workouts: 5–6 hours of exercise, including yoga, weight training, functional training, a 21-kilometre walk, and cardio.
- Diet: A low-carb, low-fat, high-protein, sugar-free diet, consuming between 1200 and 1400 calories daily.
Pre-Wedding Celebrations:
The pre-wedding festivities for Anant and Radhika began in March 2024 in Jamnagar and included:
- Jamnagar Celebration: The first pre-wedding event featured high-profile guests like Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, and Ivanka Trump. Rihanna performed at this event.
- Italy Celebration: The second pre-wedding event took place from May 28 to June 1 in Italy, including a luxurious cruise with performances by Katy Perry and the Backstreet Boys.
- Sangeet Ceremony: The celebrations kicked off with the Sangeet ceremony at the Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre (NMACC) where Justin Bieber performed.
Wedding Day:
The wedding will be held today, July 12, at the Jio World Convention Centre in Mumbai. Anant has previously expressed his admiration for Radhika Merchant, calling her “the person of my dreams.”
These elaborate celebrations and Anant Ambani’s personal health journey highlight both his dedication and the family’s commitment to grand, memorable events.
