You wont believe how much Mukesh Ambani paid Mika Singh to perform at Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant wedding
In today’s social media-driven world, celebrities, influencers, and public figures are constantly under the spotlight. Every aspect of their lives, from red carpet appearances to airport fashion, is scrutinized and dissected. When it comes to major events like weddings, they inevitably become grand spectacles, with every detail – from attire to guest lists – being meticulously analysed online. These events often blur the lines between joyful celebrations and displays of status, prestige, and influence. With lavish displays, such as helicopter arrivals and performances by international stars, weddings have become platforms to showcase power and opulence. Frequently, it’s not the love story or cultural rituals that make headlines, but rather the A-list guest list and the extravagant gifts that accompany them.
One such wedding that captured the nation’s attention was the grand union of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant, a star-studded event that brought together Bollywood’s elite and India’s top industrialists. But besides the guest list that had who’s who of Bollywood, another detail that sparked conversation all over social media was the exclusive distribution of luxury watches, which seemed to be reserved for a select few.
In a podcast, Singer Mika Singh recently revealed receiving handsome fees for his performance during the Anant-Radhika wedding. He revealed the money he received was good to keep him well for 5 years but what left the bruise wasn’t the handsome paycheck but the fact that he didn’t receive – limited-edition 2 crore Audemars Piguet watch — a present, as Mika says, liberally given away to wealthier celebrities such as Shah Rukh Khan and Ranveer Singh.
In Shubhankar Mishra’s podcast, Mika vented his light-hearted annoyance at not being included in this upper echelon of talented guests who received the watch. “Sab ameeron ko de diya,” he said, observing that even the richest guests got the timepiece. To him, it wasn’t the cost of the watch but the feeling — the sense of belonging. “Main bhi apna haath ghusaunga,” he joked
Reading on with his humorous but acerbic tone, Mika addressed Anant Ambani directly, expressing that he feels one day, out of love or mere frustration, the watch will find its way to him. “Anant bhai, mujhe pata hai aap mujhse dukhi ho ke, naraaz ho ke, ek na ek din ghadi doge. Aur main bhi pyaar se le ke hi rahunga. Mera haq banta hai .”
Even though he was open about the handsome sum he was paid, he was upset about not getting the watch. Mika’s narrative highlights that there is favouritism in Bollywood.
