Anant Ambani, Radhika Merchant wedding live updates: Samsung CEO, SRK arrive

Fashion influencer Julia Hackman Chafé recently took to Instagram to showcase Anant Ambani’s red kurta from the Garba Night pre-wedding celebration. Captioning the video with, “WHAT IS #ANANTAMBANI WEARING?”, she dives into a detailed critique. In the video, she says, “What is Anant Ambani wearing? Sorry, I’m just gonna have to pretend for a second that these emeralds and diamonds buttons don’t exist. I need to focus on this brooch. This is an emerald that you weigh in pounds, not carats. Is that Cartier Panthere on top of it? What I think is most shocking is the fact that this brooch is not even pulling down on his clothing. What is the physics behind this? Does being Anant Ambani mean that you can defy physics? That thing might be 10 pounds, and it’s just resting so perfectly on his outfit. Where do you find emeralds this big? I have so many questions.”
