And that’s a wrap for Radhika Merchant and Anant Ambani’s extravagant pre-wedding fiesta. The three-day fiesta in Jamnagar was exactly as you’d expect; a star-studded affair packed with non-stop performances by a galaxy of Bollywood stars and chart-busting musicians from across the world.
Videos from the event (one of the biggest of the year) have been clogging up social media feeds and while some of the acts — Rihanna, Diljit Dosanjh, Arijit Singh — were expected, there were many surprises over the course of the weekend. Who knew Akon was part of the line-up, and would have Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan grooving to Chammak Challo on stage? Or Lucky Ali setting a mellow vibe for the evening with O Sanam? Let’s not forget Udit Narayan taking guests down nostalgia lane with Veer Zaara’s Main Yahaan Hoon that had SRK and Gauri slow-waltz along.
To put it simply — if someone had to make a playlist based on all the performances at Radhika Merchant and Anant Ambani’s pre-wedding bash, it would be eclectic as hell. Having a Rihanna and an Udit Narayan share the same stage, albeit on separate days, is something no one ever thought to experience. On a more practical side of things, these 15 top artists from across genres must have certainly cost the Ambanis a ridiculous amount of money. Here’s how much these artists usually charge for a private performance.
Radhika Merchant and Anant Ambani: Here’s how much Rihanna, Akon, Diljit Dosanjh, Lucky Ali & other artists who performed at the pre-wedding bash charge for private performances
1. Rihanna
Trust Rihanna to start the party. The highest-paid female musician in the world delivered an electrifying set on day one of Radhika Merchant and Anant Ambani’s pre-wedding bash; replete with her chart-bursting tracks like Diamonds, Work, We Found Love In A Hopeless Place and more. While the singer typically charges anywhere between $1.5 million (Rs 12 crore) to $8 million (Rs 66 crore) for a private event, she billed a staggering $8 – $9 million (Rs 66 to 74 crore) to the Ambanis for this special performance, India Today reports.
2. Diljit Dosanjh
