On the 6th (local time), according to local media such as the Indian daily Times of India, Justin Bieber took the stage to perform at the wedding of Anant Ambani, the youngest son of the Ambani family, the richest family in Asia, held in Jamnagar, Gujarat, western India.
The venue was reportedly prepared like an actual concert hall for Bieber's performance. Breaking the tradition of wearing Indian traditional attire to sing congratulatory songs, Bieber appeared on stage wearing his signature saggy pants (a style of pants worn low enough to reveal underwear due to a loose waist) and a light pink jacket, receiving great cheers from the Ambani family and the audience.
In particular, Bieber surprised the audience and the press by passionately performing, including giving a hand kiss to the bride, Radhika Merchant, the main figure of the wedding, during the performance.
The Ambani family has attracted attention every time by inviting pop stars to perform congratulatory songs at their children's weddings. At the 2018 wedding of their daughter Isha Ambani, they invited Beyonc? for a spectacular performance, paying a guarantee of $6 million (approximately 8 billion KRW) at that time.

Earlier, at Anant Ambani's pre-wedding in March, Rihanna was invited for a special stage, and the performance cost reached $9 million (approximately 1.2 billion KRW). At the 2019 wedding party of their eldest son Akash Ambani, Coldplay was invited, which also became a hot topic.
Justin Bieber has not taken the stage since September 2022, when he revealed his diagnosis of 'Ramsay Hunt syndrome,' which causes facial paralysis and hearing loss, and canceled his world tour schedule entirely.
In February, Usher proposed a joint performance with Bieber for the Super Bowl (the NFL championship game) halftime show, but Bieber declined due to his battle with the syndrome, which added to fans' disappointment.
Currently, Justin Bieber is expecting his first child with his wife Hailey Bieber (27).
