Mumbai: Fresh from winning the T20 World Cup last week, India all-rounder Hardik Pandya and Suryakumar Yadav stole the show at the sangeet ceremony of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant on Friday. While Suryakumar was with his wife Devisha Shetty, Hardik arrived with his brother Krunal Pandya, sister-in-law Pankhuri Sharma, and his Mumbai Indians teammate Ishan Kishan. Surprisingly, there were no traces of Hardik’s wife Natasha Stankovic.
Hardik and Natasha have been grabbing the headlines for a while recently after rumours of rift between the two emerged during the fag end of the Indian Premier League a couple of months back. Since then, neither Hardik nor Natasha posted about each other on social media. Even, unlike other cricketer’s wives, Natasha didn’t share a single post on Hardik and the Indian team after the T20 World Cup.
Other cricketers who attended the ceremony was KL Rahul along with his wife Athiya Shetty and Shreyas Iyer. Two-time World Cup-winning former India captain MS Dhoni was also in attendance with his wife Sakshi. Surprisingly, India’s new World Cup-winning captain Rohit Sharma wasn’t seen in the event.
The much-awaited Anant-Radhika wedding is set to take place on July 12 at the Jio World Convention Centre. The Ambanis recently hosted a mass wedding for underprivileged couples, thus portraying their commitments towards society. Meanwhile, Reliance Industries chairman Mukesh Ambani on Thursday visited former Congress president Sonia Gandhi’s 10 Janpath residence and is understood to have extended an invitation to the Gandhi family for his son Anant’s wedding.
The pre-wedding festivities had begun on March 1 in Jamnagar, 300 kilometres from Ahmedabad, and known for the world’s largest refinery, which is owned by Reliance Industries.
