Merchant danced at Isha’s sangeet ceremony before her wedding to Anand Piramal in 2018, performing with Shloka Mehta – she’s also tight with Anant’s mum Nita

She’s the daughter of businessman Viren Merchant, CEO of Encore Healthcare, studied at NYU, and lives a ‘normal’ life that fans lap up on social media

She’s in love with Anant Ambani, youngest son of one of the richest men on earth, Mukesh Ambani, but that hasn’t phased Radhika Merchant. She may be surrounded by luxury, but Merchant has become known for her relatively “normal” life, staying true to her own style and choosing jeans over jewels.

Here’s what you need to know about the woman who captured Anant’s heart ...

She’s part of the family

Merchant is probably the most low-key member of the Ambani extended family, but according to BollywoodShaadis, Merchant has a strong relationship with matriarch Nita and her daughter Isha.

She had a key role in Isha’s wedding to Anand Piramal in 2018, performing with Isha and Shloka Mehta at the bride’s sangeet ceremony – a pre-wedding event traditionally only attended by women to celebrate the couple’s impending nuptials.

Leaked pictures from private Ambani family events also show Merchant hanging out with her would-be in-laws.
