Ambani-Merchant Sangeet: Bollywood and Bieber make for an unforgettable night

The Ambanis are the undisputed kings and queens of grand Indian celebrations. Every event is like a scene straight out of Bollywood, with all the glitz and glam you can imagine. While some may scoff and dismiss them as over-the-top displays of wealth, there is an undeniable allure. The best part? With Instagram, you get a virtual front row seat to even their smaller shindigs, so you don’t miss out on all the fun.

The opulent celebrations for Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant's wedding have commenced, with the vibrant Sangeet ceremony setting the stage for a truly unforgettable wedding. Held on Saturday, the Sangeet was but a taste of the grandeur to come.

The highlight of the night was undoubtedly the electrifying performance of global pop icon Justin Bieber, who reportedly charged $10 million for it. The event drew the A-list of Bollywood royalty, including Salman Khan, Ranbir Kapoor and his wife Alia Bhatt, Vicky Kaushal, Deepika Padukone, and many more, swaying to Bieber's chart-topping hits like ‘Baby’, ‘Sorry’, and ‘Love Yourself’.

Videos of the star-studded evening have gone viral on the internet, offering a glimpse into the upcoming nuptials.

The Ambani family, along with a multitude of other celebrities, set the stage ablaze with their own performances.

Singer Badshah added a vibrant Punjabi twist to the evening with his electrifying performance alongside Karan Aujla.

Faraz Manan steals the spotlight

The Ambani Sangeet wasn't just about music and celebrity guests, it also became a showcase for the work of Pakistani designer Faraz Manan. Several high-profile attendees donned custom pieces from his label.

Manan, who is based in Dubai, has built a reputation for his exquisite designs that transcend borders. His creations have been seen on global celebrities, and the Ambani Sangeet further cemented his popularity in the Indian fashion scene.

Alia Bhatt turned heads in a signature Faraz Manan silhouette, a stunning black and champagne gold ensemble with art deco-inspired bejeweled embellishments on black tulle.

Ranbir Kapoor complemented his wife in an all-black sherwani, also a Manan creation featuring the designer's signature art deco geometric patterns.

Several other celebrities, including Shloka Mehta, Akash Ambani, Anand Piramal, and Orry, were also spotted in custom pieces by Manan.

The Ambani Sangeet wasn't Manan's first foray into Bollywood fashion. Stars have graced earlier events in his exquisite creations. In fact, several other talented names from Pakistan have been creating stunning outfits for A-list celebrities.
