Bieber—who posted photos and videos from the performance on Instagram on Saturday—performed for the couple, their family and friends in Mumbai at a pre-wedding event this weekend, according to the BBC.
Months earlier, Rihanna performed her first full-length concert in years at the couple’s first pre-wedding party in March, where magician David Blaine, Akon and a number of Bollywood performers were also scheduled to perform.
In May, the couple had a second pre-wedding event that took place on and off of a cruise ship in Italy and featured performances from David Guetta, The Backstreet Boys, Katy Perry, Andrea Bocelli and Pitbull, according to Vanity Fair.
Artists are often tight-lipped about their fees for private gigs, but the BBC notes the Ambanis were rumored to pay Bieber around $10 million and Rihanna about $7 million, while a local news outlet put Rihanna and her team’s haul at just south of $9 million.
