Justin Bieber could never say never to a reported $10 million (P585 million) special performance at the pre-wedding ceremony of an Indian billionaire's son.

On July 6, the Peaches singer shared photos and videos of his private concert for Anant Ambani, son of Mukesh Ambani, and his fiancée Radhika Merchant the previous day.

A carousel showed the 30-year-old singer wearing red shades, a white shirt, a peach jacket, a black cap, and baggy pants as he interacted with the crowd. Another carousel showed monochrome photos of him performing and his moments in the plane.

Bieber also shared snippets of him performing his hits like Love Yourself, in which he approaches those in front while everybody sings the chorus.

For Where Are Ü Now, Bieber can be seen pointing his microphone to an energetic crowd member who also sings with him as he says, "Let's go, let's go."

Bieber also vibed with female fans during You're the One.

In another post, he shared photos of him relaxing in his hotel, as well as practicing for his performance. He put an Indian flag emoji in the caption.

He also shared photos of him spending time with Anant and Merchant.

Last March, global tech bosses, industry titans, Bollywood stars, pop stars, and politicians gathered for a pre-wedding party hosted by Mukesh.

Guests included singer Rihanna, Meta chief Mark Zuckerberg and his wife Priscilla Chan, and former United States president Donald Trump's daughter Ivanka Trump.

Mukesh is the chairman of Reliance Industries, India's biggest company by market capitalization.

He inherited a thriving industrial enterprise spanning oil, gas, and petrochemicals from his father and grew it into a commercial behemoth with lucrative interests in retail, telecommunications, and an Indian Premier League cricket team.

He has a net worth of over $116 billion, making him the world's 10th richest person.

His son Anant, 28, is a director on the boards of several Reliance-owned firms. He will reportedly have a lavish three-day wedding ceremony with Merchant, 29, from July 12 to 14 at their family home Antilia, a 27-floor skyscraper that reportedly cost at least $1 billion (P56 billion) and their 16,000-capacity Jio World Convention Center.

In 2018, Mukesh held India's most expensive wedding to date. It reportedly cost $100 million (P5.6 billion) and saw US pop megastar Beyonce perform.
