ANI on X: "Celebrities including Janhvi Kapoor, Ananya Pandey, Manish Malhotra and Khushi Kapoor performed at the pre-wedding celebrations of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant in Jamnagar, Gujarat. https://t.co/8QAqBT9yKL" / X

Ananya clarified, “Nahi (no)! I don’t know why logon ko aisa lagta hain. They are my friends. So obviously main doston ke shaadi me aisa hi nachungi na (I will dance like that only for my friend’s wedding right)?”

She added, “One big takeaway from the wedding was that so much was happening, but whenever Anant and Radhika would look at each other, it was just pure love. It felt like violins were playing behind them. That’s something I want in life — that no matter how much chaos is around, you and that person share that connection. Second, even the girls should have a baraat! Third takeaway would be, they made everyone feel welcome. No matter how many functions there were, they greeted everyone with so much love and warmth. That’s such a great quality because it makes everything feel very personal.”
