Finally, the youngest son of the richest tycoon, Mukesh Ambani, Anant Ambani, got married to Radhika Merchant in what definitely was the most-read and most-Googled wedding of the year. Though the event became a convergence point for a large number of Bollywood celebrities and scores of international celebrities, several major key figures gave it a miss.
Missing Bollywood Celebrities at Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant’s Star-Studded Wedding
Here’s an inside deep dive into which bollywood celebrities failed to make it for the festivity and why.
Kartik Aaryan
Kartik Aaryan began shooting for “Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3” earlier this month, ruling out his attendance at the wedding. There has been some speculation that Kartik was not invited because of his alleged past romantic relationship with Janhvi Kapoor. Janhvi is currently dating one of Anant’s best friends and a groomsman, Shikhar Pahariya, which could impact the dynamics of the invitee list.
Kareena Kapoor Khan and Saif Ali Khan
Of course, the power couple was celebrating the annual family holiday with their sons, Taimur Ali Khan and Jehangir Ali Khan. Kareena and Saif were big attractions at the first of the pre-wedding festivities held in Jamnagar, Gujarat. Their absence was definitely noticed, but their family commitments came first.
Akshay Kumar and Twinkle Khanna
Akshay Kumar tested positive for COVID-19 and is under isolation with wife Twinkle Khanna. Akshay was an unforgettable performer at the pre-wedding festivities. His dynamism is missed, but health and safety first.
Kangana Ranaut
Kangana Ranaut had to be present at her cousin Varun Ranaut’s marriage and had prior commitments in acting and politics. The commitments of Kangana came in the way of attending the high-profile event. She sent her warm wishes for the newlyweds, though.
Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli
The couple was present at a Kirtan being conducted by American vocalist Krishna Das in London. Just after celebrating India’s victory in the T20 World Cup, Virat joined Anushka and the kids in the UK. The latter’s presence in the UK couldn’t make it back home for the wedding that had to be in India.
Aamir Khan
Aamir Khan wasn’t specified about his reason for not being able to attend. Aamir was present at the pre-wedding bash in Jamnagar with Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan. While he couldn’t make it to the main event, daughter Ira Khan and son-in-law Nupur Shikhare did represent the family.
Parineeti Chopra and Raghav Chadha
Parineeti and her soon-to-be husband, Raghav Chadha, were attending Wimbledon Finals 2024. Priyanka Chopra Jonas and her husband Nick Jonas were there to make sure that the Chopra family was represented even when Parineeti was away.

Diljit Dosanjh
The singer was performing in Canada as part of his Dil-Luminati Tour Year 24. Diljit Dosanjh performed at the pre-wedding bash in Jamnagar, adding to the revelries. His ongoing tour kept him away from the actual wedding, but his performance is one to be remembered.
Sonam Kapoor Ahuja
Sonam Kapoor was present watching the Wimbledon women’s finals in the UK. Her father, Anil Kapoor, managed to make it to the wedding, while her sister, Rhea Kapoor, doubled as the stylist of the bride. Sonam’s absence was offset with active participation in the wedding by her family.

Conclusion
Even though these bollywood stars stars were not present at the wedding of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant, this was still a flash-and-glamour affair. The reasons ranged from professional commitments to falling sick, family engagement, and international events. Yet, that did not lack anything on the guest list; rather, it flaunted the Ambanis’ clout in Bollywood and globally. All these missing stars forward their best wishes, showing spontaneous support and love toward this new couple.
