Following their opulent three-day pre-wedding celebration in Jamnagar, Gujarat, Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant are hosting another grand event. This celebration, which began on May 29, 2024, is taking place aboard a luxurious cruise traveling from Italy to France, culminating in Portofino, Italy, on June 1, 2024. A host of celebrities from various fields are invited to join the festivities.
Katy Perry to Headline Cruise Pre-Wedding Event
Reports suggest that Katy Perry, the internationally acclaimed American singer known for hits like “Dark Horse,” “Roar,” “Electric,” and “Harleys in Hawaii,” will perform on the third day of the couple’s pre-wedding celebrations.
The performance will be held at a lavish villa in Southern France, valued at approximately USD 50.9 million (INR 424 crore).
The evening of May 31, 2024, will feature a masquerade ball where Katy Perry is expected to dazzle the attendees with her performance. Previously, the couple’s first pre-wedding event saw performances by artists such as Rihanna, Diljit Dosanjh, Arijit Singh, and Shreya Ghoshal. According to The Sun UK, Katy Perry is receiving a cheque worth millions of dollars from the Ambanis for her performance at ‘Le Masquerade’. A source has disclosed to the publication that the 800 guests will disembark from the cruise, whose theme is ‘La vita e un viaggio’ (life is a voyage), for the big bash in Cannes. The 5-hour-long party will be headlined by Katy Perry, and after the performance, the guests will head for a fireworks show. The source added:
“They have invited 800 guests who are currently on a space-themed cruise around Europe, with stops in Barcelona and Genoa. It will arrive in Cannes on Friday for the big bash, which will be at a GBP 40 million estate. The party itself will only last five hours, but Katy will headline it, with a DJ also being flown in as part of the top-tier entertainment. Afterwards, guests will watch a huge fireworks display from a small armada of ships waiting in the Bay of Cannes. When they say there’s been no expense spared, they really mean it.”
