The bride-to-be of the son of India’s richest man has been accused of copying her pre-wedding speech from the Hollywood film Shall We Dance.
Last week’s pre-wedding celebration of Radhika Merchant, 29, and Anant Ambani, 28, made headlines around the world for the opulence of the occasion, which cost more than £100 million.
But amidst the grandeur, with more than 1,500 guests, there was an intimate and personal moment, when Merchant gave her heartfelt speech to her future husband.
However, Internet sleuths later revealed that the heartfelt speech was a nearly word-for-word copy of the one Susan Sarandon gave to Richard Jenkins in the 2004 romantic comedy.
Although some say it could be an innocent recreation of Rahika’s ‘favorite scene’, others have more doubts and believe she scammed her.
Radhika Merchant’s heartfelt speech turned out to be a complete copy of a famous movie scene.
Some have jumped to his defense saying it might be his favorite scene in a movie.
The bride-to-be’s speech was almost identical to Susan Sarandon’s speech in 2004’s Shall We Dance.
The speech says: ‘In a marriage you promise to worry about everything; the good things, the bad things, the terrible things, and the mundane things, all of them.
‘You say your life will not go unnoticed because I will notice. Your life will not be left without witnesses because I will be a witness of it.’
The copycat speech seemed to go completely unnoticed until after the celebrations, when film buff Sadiq Saleem posted both clips on Instagram with the comment: “They could have called me.” He would have changed the wording for a few million rupees. (One million rupees is equivalent to almost £100,000).
Disappointed X users took to the platform to share their disapproval.
One wrote: “Even ChatGPT could have done a better job.”
However, others jumped to Merchant’s defense, writing: “Who knows, this might be one of her favorite scenes and growing up she visualized herself saying it every time she saw it.”
Whatever the reason, whether it was intentionally copied or innocently recreated, the pair will hope to have more trust in each other than their cinematic counterparts.
Shall We Dance follows a married couple as Richard Gere’s husband stays out late every night pursuing his new passion for dancing and his wife, Susan Sarandon, becomes suspicious and hires a private investigator, Richard Jenkins, to keep an eye on him. .
Radhika and Anant’s pre-wedding celebrations had a guest list packed with celebrities and billionaires, including Mark Zuckerberg, Bill Gates and Donald Trump’s daughter Ivanka.
At first, the copycat speech went unnoticed, but then an Internet sleuth noticed.
The family’s net worth is over £100 billion, right Mukesh Ambani, center Anant and right mom Nita.
There was also a live music performance by Rihanna.
The £100 million price tag for the event is equivalent to more than ten percent of Rihanna’s total net worth, and she is the richest female musician in the world.
However, this would hardly have made a dent in the happy couple’s family wallet: Mukesh Ambani, Anant’s father, is the ninth richest person in the world.
The wedding is on July 7.
