In her first performance in India, pop star Rihannaset the stage on fire on day one of the lavish pre-wedding event of billionaire Mukesh Ambani's son Anant and his fiancee Radhika Merchant.

The 38-year-old singer-songwriter thanked the Ambanis for making her a part of the family affair.

"Thanks to the Ambani family I'm here tonight in honour of Anant and Radhika. Thank you for having me here. God bless your union. I wish you the best. Congratulations," she said.

As the prelude of her song "We Found Love" played, Rihanna asked the audience members if they believed in love.

"Make some noise for love right now. Send some extra love to the bride. It's my honour to be here and I want you to put your hands together like this," the multiple Grammy winner said before singing the popular track.

The Ambani family presented Rihanna with a bouquet and posed for the shutterbugs together after her performance.

Later, actor Janhvi Kapoor shared a reel of her shaking a leg with Rihanna on her song "Zingaat" from her debut film "Dhadak".

"This woman is a goddess. Stop it goodbye," Kapoor captioned the video.
