Following a lavish three-day celebration in Jamnagar in March 2024, the Ambanis hosted a second pre-wedding bash for Anant and Radhika on an extravagant cruise in Italy and South of France. The four-day event, held from May 29 to June 1, had guests such as Shah Rukh Khan, Ranveer Singh, Janhvi Kapoor, Kareena Kapoor, Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt and many others entertained by Katy Perry, Andrea Bocelli, Pitbull, Guru Randhawa, and the Backstreet Boys.

Earlier, during the first pre-wedding celebrations in Jamnagar, the likes of Rihanna, Akon, Diljit Dosanjh, Lucky Ali, Arijit Singh, Pritam, and Shreya Ghoshal performed for the friends and family of the Ambanis and Merchants. Interestingly, the Ambanis hosted the most expensive wedding in India to date for Isha Ambani in 2018, which reportedly cost $100 million and saw US singer Beyoncé perform at the pre-wedding party in Udaipur, Rajasthan.
