Akshay Kumar, the renowned Bollywood actor, will unfortunately miss the much-anticipated wedding of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant in Mumbai today, as he has tested positive for COVID-19. The news comes amidst his active promotional schedule for his upcoming film Sarfira.
According to a Hindustan Times report, Akshay Kumar began feeling unwell while engaged in promotional activities for Sarfira. Suspecting a potential COVID-19 infection, he promptly underwent testing, revealing a positive result early on Friday morning. This development necessitates his immediate isolation, forcing him to skip not only the grand wedding affair but also the final stages of his film's promotional campaign.
Anant Ambani, who personally extended an invitation to Akshay Kumar, had visited the actor at his residence earlier. Despite the personal invitation and the actor's initial plans to attend, health concerns have taken precedence, compelling Akshay Kumar to prioritize isolation and recovery.
Meanwhile, the wedding celebrations of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant are set to unfold over the next three days at the Jio World Centre in Mumbai. The festivities commenced with the pheras today, followed by an 'aashirwad' ceremony scheduled for Saturday and culminating in a reception on July 14th.
Celebrities from across the globe, including notable figures like Kim Kardashian and John Cena, have been spotted arriving in Mumbai to grace the occasion. Priyanka Chopra, Nick Jonas, Mamta Banerjee and a host of Bollywood luminaries such as Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, Aamir Khan and the Bachchan family are expected to join the celebrations.
The wedding has garnered attention not only for its opulent decorations and designer outfits but also for the gathering of high-profile guests, promising candid moments and memorable interactions throughout the festivities.
