What was the Ambani family’s briefing for the wedding choreographer?
Shetty revealed that from the beginning, Nita Ambani and Radhika Merchant were clear that this was not just a celebrity event. They considered celebrities to be like family members. Since there were already many celebrity performances during the Jamnagar festivities, this Sangeet was more focused on family.
Shetty mentioned that the family was very open to the song and dance selections he made for them. He gave an example of choosing the Kudmayi song for an emotional dance sequence involving Radhika’s mother and her friends.
Nita Ambani emphasized the importance of warmth and enjoyment for the event. Shetty carefully planned everything, including the Ambani family’s performance of the song “Om Shanti Om.” He made sure to cater to their individual styles since they were not professional dancers or celebrities.
Anant Ambani, the son of billionaire Mukesh Ambani, tied the knot with Radhika Merchant at Mumbai’s Jio World Convention Centre, concluding their several months-long festivities with a reception on July 14.
