Reliance chairperson Mukesh Ambani's son Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant are all set to tie the knot in July in Mumbai. But their pre-wedding ceremonies have become the talk of the town. After their first pre-wedding bash, which was held in Gujarat’s Jamnagar, their second pre-wedding is being held on a private cruise across Europe.
