Reliance Industries Limited (RIL) Group President Parimal Nathwani announced the news on Twitter.

The 27-year-old son of Mukesh and Nita Ambani is also the younger brother of Akash and Isha Ambani.

While speculations and rumours have been widespread for quite some time due to the doting presence of the Ambani's at Radhika Merchant's events, Thursday's news comes as an official confirmation of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant's upcoming wedding.

Several images from the ceremony have gone viral on the internet. For the occasion,  Anant wore a blue kurta with an embroidered jacket while Radhika wore a beautiful saree.

According to a press statement issued by Reliance Industries Limited, the "young couple spent the day in the temple seeking Lord Shrinathji's blessings for their upcoming union."

Taking to Twitter, Parimal Nathwani wrote, "Heartiest congratulations to dearest Anant and Radhika for their Roka ceremony at the Shrinathji temple in Nathdwara. May Lord Shrinath ji's blessings be with you always.#AnantAmbani."
