When Lionel Messi met Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant, it was more than a high-profile visit—it became a global pop-culture moment that took the internet by storm. Welcome to FOMO, where we break down the viral moments, celebrity news and lifestyle headlines you can’t afford to miss.
From Messi’s packed stadiums during his GOAT India Tour to his unforgettable stop at Vantara in Jamnagar, this episode captures the stories everyone is talking about.
Messi’s visit to the wildlife rescue and conservation centre hosted by the Ambanis blended sport, style, spirituality and conservation, as he met rescued lions, elephants and rhinos and even played football with an elephant calf. The moment went truly viral when a rescued lion cub was named “Lionel” in his honour, and Messi was later spotted wearing an ultra-rare Richard Mille tourbillon watch, reportedly worth over $1 million.
The episode also rounds up other headline-makers—from Thai stars William and Est hosting their first joint fanmeet in Rome, to Anees Bazmee reuniting with Akshay Kumar, Gwyneth Paltrow’s bold fashion moment, a major Indo-Hollywood collaboration with Michael Bay and AR Rahman, and the international premiere of Jassi Weds Jassi in Dubai.
