Radhika Marchant has been caught in a plagiarism scandal following her star-studded pre-wedding bash.

 

The 29-year-old businesswoman, trained classical dancer, and daughter of business tycoon Viren Merchant and Shaila Merchant, is set to marry 28-year-old Anant Ambani, the youngest son of Asia’s richest man Mukesh Ambani.

 

Their pre-wedding festivities held earlier this month, with important personalities and celebrities visiting India for the occasion.

 

The pre-wedding festivities lasted for three days in preparation for the main wedding which is on July 12, 2024.

 

The happy couple

 

Rihanna performed at the pre-wedding party. Bill Gates, Ivanka Trump, Mark Zuckerberg and his wife Priscilla Chan were also there alongside a host of other big names.

 

At the event, the bride-to-be gave a moving speech. Now, it has emerged that the pre-wedding speech was plagiarised word-for-word from an old movie.

 

The bride began her speech by saying: “Someone once told me…”

 

This had earned her criticisms as people ask why she couldn’t just mention that her speech was inspired by a dialogue delivered by Susan Sarandon in the movie “Shall We Dance?”

 

The bride’s speech and the movie have now been juxtaposed as people call her out for plagiarism.
