Pop star shares heartfelt message as she departs from India
In a heartfelt Instagram Live session following her sensational performance at the Ambani pre-wedding festivities in Jamnagar, Gujarat, global pop icon Rihanna shared her reflections on her brief yet impactful visit to India. The star, known for hits like ‘Work’, ‘Diamonds’, and ‘Pour It Up’, delivered a stunning live show that became a highlight of the lavish three-day celebration.
Wrapped up in the excitement of her post-show journey, Rihanna, with her face partially covered, seemed genuinely surprised by the live broadcast’s reality. “Is this live for real?” she questioned, before expressing her deep appreciation for the experience. “I had the best time in India. I only have two days. The only reason I am leaving India is because my kids are (unclear audio). I have to come back,” Rihanna revealed, hinting at her eagerness to return despite her short stay.
The Ambani-Merchant pre-wedding event, a grand affair drawing celebrities, sports figures, and business tycoons from around the globe, including tech moguls Mark Zuckerberg and Bill Gates, was a testament to India’s capacity to host events of unparalleled opulence and glamour. Anant Ambani, the son of Reliance Industries Ltd’s Mukesh Ambani, and Radhika Merchant, daughter of Encore Healthcare’s CEO, Viren Merchant, are the couple at the heart of these celebrations, marking a union of two influential families.
Held close to RIL’s petroleum refinery, the festivities showcased a blend of tradition, luxury, and celebrity allure, setting the stage for Rihanna’s memorable performance and subsequent candid revelations on social media. Her spontaneous live session not only offered fans a glimpse into her personal reflections but also underscored the cultural impact and warm hospitality that marked her visit to India.
As Rihanna bids farewell to India, her parting words resonate with the anticipation of a return, leaving fans hopeful for another opportunity to welcome the pop sensation back to Indian shores.
