Salman Khan marks Anant Ambani-Radhika Merchant’s first anniversary with heartfelt blessing

Bollywood actor Salman Khan extended his wishes to Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant on their first wedding anniversary. On Saturday, Khan posted a message on Instagram, along with a photo of the couple, writing, “Happy Anniversary Anant n Radhika, Be happy, God bless, Love u.”

Anant, the youngest son of Reliance Industries chairman Mukesh Ambani, married Radhika Merchant on July 12, 2024. Their wedding, held at Mumbai’s Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre, was one of the most watched and discussed events in the country last year. The ceremony, which adhered to Indian traditions, drew attention across global media for its grandeur and cultural significance.

The couple's decision to follow traditional Indian customs was seen as a personal commitment to cultural heritage and a desire to begin their life together with spiritual blessings. The event brought together a significant number of religious and spiritual figures from Vedic Hindu traditions. According to insiders, it was one of the largest such gatherings seen at a private celebration in recent times.

The Ambani wedding also drew attendance from political leaders, celebrities, and business tycoons, making it a social event of wide interest. Even a year later, the couple’s public appearances continue to attract media attention, and Khan’s message further amplified the buzz around their anniversary.

Meanwhile, Salman Khan is preparing for his next project, Battle of Galwan. The film is inspired by the June 2020 military clash between Indian and Chinese forces in Ladakh’s Galwan Valley. Khan plays a key role in the drama, which is expected to highlight the personal and emotional layers behind the conflict.

Directed by a yet-to-be-announced filmmaker, Battle of Galwan is expected to go into production later this year. The project will also feature Chitrangda Singh, with both actors reportedly undergoing script readings and preparation. The film’s development is being closely followed, given its sensitive backdrop and high-profile cast.
