Rihanna took to the stage barefoot to perform in a lime green and pink local-inspired outfit at the pre-wedding event on Friday night.
She performed 19 songs, including hits such as “Umbrella,” “Diamonds,” and “Work,” NME reported.
“I’m here tonight in honor of Anant and Radhika. Thank you for having me here. God bless your union. I wish you all the best. Congratulations,” she said to the couple, who at one point joined her on stage.
As she departed from Jamnagar airport, Rihanna told reporters: “The show was the best. I haven’t done a real show in eight years.”
Reports estimate that the singer had been paid between $6 and $9 million for her performance.
Rihanna had previously been spotted arriving in Jamnagar with ASAP Rocky. In the clip, she can be seen exiting a building and getting onto a cart.
A fan also uploaded an Instagram video of multiple wooden crates being transported out of an airport arrival hall, with the caption, “Rihanna’s luggage has arrived in India.”
“What she bring with her? A folding house?” one comment under the post said, to which Rihanna responded, “The stage couldn’t fit in my carryon.”
The Ambanis have had megastars perform at weddings before.
In 2018 Beyoncé performed at Isha Ambani and Anand Piramal’s pre-wedding ceremony. Isha Ambani is the family patriarch’s only daughter.
In 2019, Coldplay’s front man, Chris Martin, and The Chainsmokers entertained guests attending Akash Ambani — the soon-to-be-wed Ambani’s older brother — and Shloka Mehta’s pre-wedding bash in Switzerland. The couple also had Adam Levine serenade them at their post-wedding bash.
