My father often says that this is my dada’s sasural (in-laws’ house), and hence we are celebrating here. I also believe I am from Jamnagar, yahin ka nagarik hun,” Anant said during an exclusive interview with India Today.

Anant also said that he was inspired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s ‘Wed in India’ call. “It’s a matter of pride and happiness when our PM said that one should get married in India,” he said during the interview.

Day 1 (March 1): The first day will be celebrated as ‘An Evening in Everland’ where guests are expected to wear elegant cocktail attire.

Day 2 (March 2): On the second day, the festivities will be held outdoors in the Ambanis’ animal rescue center in Jamnagar with the theme ‘A Walk on the Wildside’.

Day 3 (March 3): The last day would witness two events – ‘Tusker Trails’ and ‘Hashtakshar’. The first event will be held outdoors where the guests will enjoy the natural beauty of Jamnagar and for the final event, they will be dressed in ’heritage Indian attire’.
