John Cena raves about ‘fantastic’ Indian street food at Anant Ambani – Radhika Merchant wedding: ‘Eager to test spice meter’
Hollywood star and WWE legend John Cena was one of the many global icons who attended the extravagant wedding festivities of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant in Mumbai, India. While the larger-than-life celebrations were a sight to behold, attracting A-list celebrities from around the world, it was Cena’s experience with the local cuisine that left a lasting impression.
In an interview with ANI, the 16-time WWE Champion reflected on his culinary adventures at the Ambani wedding, admitting that he may need to build up his spice tolerance before his next visit to India. “The Ambani wedding had its fair share of cuisine, but they also did Indian food and Indian street food very well. The food was fantastic,” Cena shared enthusiastically.
Despite his short stay, the Peacemaker actor expressed a strong desire to return to India and explore more of its tantalizing flavors. “I had a short stay…I would love to go back and be able to try some more Indian food,” he said. Cena even joked about his plans to “test my spice meter” on his next trip, noting that the level of spice at the wedding was “just enough to break a small sweat.”
The larger-than-life wedding celebrations, which spanned over seven months, attracted a star-studded guest list including Bollywood icons, international celebrities, and business tycoons. Cena arrived at the event in a striking powder blue sherwani, a traditional Indian outfit, completing his look with a white and gold safa (turban).
During the festivities, Cena was seen interacting with the Ambani family, including Mukesh Ambani, India’s richest man, and Isha Ambani. He also joined the other guests in dancing to the lively music, fully immersing himself in the vibrant Indian culture.
