The Stunning Rihanna Pays Homage To Awesome Indian Culture
Barbadian singer, actress, and businesswoman Robyn Rihanna Fenty. She is considered by many to be among the most well-known recording artists of the twenty-first century. After signing with Def Jam Recordings in 2005, she became well-known after her first two studio albums—Music of the Sun (2005) and A Girl Like Me (2006)—both of which peaked in the top ten on the US Billboard 200 list and were inspired by Caribbean music. With the inclusion of dance-pop elements in her third album, Good Girl Gone Bad (2007), she became a significant industry icon. Her first Grammy Award was won by “Umbrella,” the album’s main track, which reached the US Billboard Hot 100 and catapulted her into international celebrity.
When Rihanna made her stage comeback after a seven-year hiatus on March 1 at Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant’s pre-wedding celebration in Jamnagar, Gujarat, the internet went crazy. Netizens were shocked to see the singer perform on stage barefoot, nevertheless.
An eyewitness told Entertainment Tonight that Rihanna performed barefoot as a tribute to Indian culture when questioned about why she made that decision. She finished her performance wearing a pink cap, but she didn’t alter her outfit.”
Rihanna rarely plays private gigs, despite her amazing public performances, which are known to mesmerise audiences. It goes without saying that she received hefty compensation for playing at the Ambani wedding. Rihanna is charging between $8 and 9 million, or Rs 66 and 74 crore, for her performance, sources told India Today.
The insider also mentioned that Rihanna gave a 40-minute performance at the pre-wedding.
“She was glad to be back on stage and smiling. Onstage, she exuded her own aura and enthusiasm. The icing on the cake came when she sang “Diamonds” with pyrotechnics in the background, according to the source.
Rihanna was spotted sporting a glittering bespoke gown by Manish Malhotra and a brilliant green bodycon. Sources claim that since arriving, Rihanna has been performing all night on stage and has visited the indoor arena where her songs will be performed. Rumour has it that she is weaning herself into an Indo-fusion ensemble.
The singer made a heartfelt message for the Ambani family as she opened the Jamnagar event. “Good evening, everyone,” she said. Being here tonight is an honour for me. I haven’t visited India before. And I am here tonight because of the Ambani family. Thank you for having me here, Anant and Radiki (Radhika). May God bless you and your partner. My best wishes are with you. Best wishes. How many of you think that love exists?
The pop sensation is hardly the first foreign performer to grace an Ambani stage. BeyoncĂ© is thought to have received payment of about $4 million, or Rs 33 crore, for her performance at Isha Ambani and Anand Piramal’s sangeet in 2018.
The celebrations for Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant’s marriage are set to begin on March 1 and run through March 3. Arriving for the wedding festivities are Shah Rukh Khan and family, Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone, Arjun Kapoor, Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor, Rani Mukherjee, Atlee and family, Mark Zuckerberg, and Priscilla Chan.
