Deepika-Ranveer, Gauri-Aryan more bring Bollywood glam to Ambani party. See pics | Bollywood
Anand Ambani’s engagement with Radhika Merchant on Thursday gave another reason to Bollywood stars to deck up in the best outfits for a party. In attendance were Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, Deepika Padukone, Ranveer Singh, Katrina Kaif, Gauri Khan, Aryan Khan, Janhvi Kapoor, Khushi Kapoor and many others.
Deepika Padukone turned up in a beautiful red saree and a thick diamond necklace. Next to her, Ranveer sparkled in a black outfit. The couple posed for the camera in their usual style before heading inside for the party. Gauri Khan glowed in a silver dress and posed with son Aryan, who was in an all-black suit. Her husband, actor Shah Rukh Khan was also spotted in black but he headed straight inside the venue and refused to pose for the paparazzi.
Katrina Kaif wore a white outfit with impressive shoulder pads. She posed alone for the paparazzi as husband Vicky Kaushal gave the event a skip. Salman Khan, who wore a blue kurta pyjama, had a very special date for the evening: his niece Alizeh Agnihotri. She looked pretty in her white lehenga.
Sisters Janhvi Kapoor and Khushi Kapoor were also seen in stunning lehengas. Ananya wore a white one and posed with Arjun Kapoor and Orhan Awatramani.
Anant and Radhika had a traditional engagement ceremony where they performed old Gujarati rituals such as Gol Dhana and Chunari Vidhi.
Radhika is the daughter of Viren Merchant, the CEO of Encore Healthcare. She hails from Kutch, Gujarat. She has trained in Bharatnatyam for eight years and is the disciple of Guru Bhavana Thakar of Shree Nibha Arts. In June 2022, Radhika made headlines after the Ambani family hosted a grand Arangetram ceremony at Jio World Centre. ‘Arangetram’ is a Tamil word which means ascending the stage by a dancer on the completion of formal training. It is the debut on-stage performance of a student of Indian classical dance and music following years of training.
Anant, son of Nita and Mukesh Ambani, completed his studies from Brown University in the USA and has since served at Reliance industries in various capacities including as a member on the Boards of Jio Platforms and Reliance Retail Ventures. He currently leads the energy business of RIL.
IPL media rights: Indian billionaire Ambani bets billions on cricket
A venture backed by Ambani has won the digital rights to air the Indian Premier League (IPL), one of the world’s most valuable sports properties.
Viacom18 — a joint venture between Paramount and Ambani’s Reliance Industries — has secured the streaming rights for about 238 billion rupees ($3.05 billion), Jay Shah, secretary of the Board of Control for Cricket in India, said on Twitter Tuesday.
Disney-owned Star India, meanwhile, has retained the TV rights with a bid of about 236 billion rupees ($3.02 billion), Shah added. Both deals run until 2027.
That puts the total value of IPL’s media rights at a record $6.2 billion. Just five years ago, Star India paid $2.6 billion for the TV and digital rights for five years.
“Since its inception, the IPL has been synonymous with growth and today is a red-letter day for India Cricket, ” Shah said on Twitter.
“IPL is now the second most valued sporting league in the world in terms of per match value,” he added.
The IPL competition runs for just two months a year but its value to media companies has soared as the global audience has exploded. On cost-per-match terms, IPL has now overtaken the English Premier League, and ranks behind only the National Football League in the United States, Bloomberg said.
The IPL was launched in 2007 and attracts the world’s best cricketers on big-money contracts. Its massive popularity in India is seen as a foolproof way to expand in the country’s flourishing online media space.
Ambani, who is Asia’s richest man with a net worth of nearly $100 billion, inherited an oil business but for years has been investing big in other areas such as technology, clean energy and retail.
Reliance declined to comment.
India’s Gautam Adani unseats Mukesh Ambani as Asia’s richest billionaire
The 59-year-old founder of Adani Group controls companies ranging from ports and aerospace to thermal energy and coal, and now has a net worth of $88.5 billion, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.
Like other billionaires around the world, Adani has seen his wealth skyrocket during the pandemic. He was worth less than $40 billion at this time last year. With this massive spike, he has overtaken India’s energy-to-tech entrepreneur Mukesh Ambani, to become the world’s 10th richest person.
Adani Group has performed exceptionally well on the Indian stock market during the pandemic. Shares of Adani Enterprises have jumped more than 1,000% on the National Stock Exchange in Mumbai since June 2020, a sign that investors are optimistic about Adani’s ability to bet on sectors such as infrastructure and renewable energy, which are key to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s economic development goals.
Ambani, who controls Reliance Industries, is now in the Bloomberg index’s 11th spot with a net worth of $87.9 billion.
This wasn’t the only upheaval the billionaires ranking has seen recently. Last week, Meta (FB), the parent company of Facebook, saw a historic collapse on its stock market, which has wiped more than $30 billion off Mark Zuckerberg’s personal wealth. The CEO and co-founder of Meta now stands in 13th place on the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.
India’s Reliance: Mukesh Ambani is bringing 7-Eleven to the country
Reliance Retail, the commerce arm of Mukesh Ambani’s conglomerate, announced Thursday that it will open India’s first 7-Eleven stores, just days after the quick-service chain lost its local partner.
The two don’t appear to be wasting any time: Reliance says that the first 7-Eleven store will open in Mumbai on Saturday, just two days away.
“This will be followed by a rapid rollout in key neighborhoods and commercial areas,” with an initial focus on the Greater Mumbai area, Reliance Retail added in a statement. The shops are expected to offer customers drinks and snacks that are customized based on local preferences.
Ambani is India’s richest person, with a net worth of $99.1 billion, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. Isha Ambani, his daughter and a director of Reliance Retail, helped announce the deal.
The announcement came just days after 7-Eleven had pulled out of a deal with another major local retailer.
On Tuesday, Future Retail said that it had come to a mutual agreement with 7-Eleven to call off an existing partnership to develop and operate stores across the country.
In a brief statement, Future Retail said that it “was not able to meet the target of opening stores and payment of franchisee fees” required.
The company has previously said the pandemic has had a “significant adverse impact” on its business operations. Recently, Reliance has had its eye on acquiring Future Retail, though it’s been locked in a fierce legal battle with Amazon (AMZN) for months over the potential deal.
In August, the Supreme Court of India ruled in favor of Amazon’s efforts to stop the acquisition.
In recent months, Ambani has revealed aggressive ambitions to take on both Amazon and Walmart (WMT), which dominate online shopping in India. Reliance is building JioMart, an e-commerce platform that could eventually offer everything from electronics and apparel to pharmaceuticals and healthcare.
In a statement Thursday, Isha Ambani said that Reliance Retail was “proud” to team up with 7-Eleven, “among the most iconic global brands in the convenience retail landscape.”
Joe DePinto, CEO of SEI, the owner of 7-Eleven, added in the same statement that the new tie-up would help bring the chain “to millions of Indian consumers.”
“India is the second largest country in the world and has one of the fastest-growing economies,” he said. “It’s an ideal time for the largest convenience retailer in the world to make our entry.”
