The gates of the tower-house Antilia opened to welcome the guests for the wedding of Mukesh Ambani’s daughter Isha to fellow billionaire Ajay Piramal’s son Anand. Isha’s twin-bother Akash and elder brother Anant Ambani rode out on specially requisitioned horses, in traditional attire late in the afternoon, beginning the nuptial ceremony of India Inc’s most watched event of the year. This was followed by the ‘baraat’ in which the groom’s side enters.
Anand Piramal, the cynosure of all eyes, followed them all in a vintage Rolls Royce. Akash and Anant, along with their uncle Anil Ambani, welcomed the procession before it entered the high walls of the 27-storey house. Former President Pranab Mukherjee was warmly received by business magnate Anil Ambani, the bride’s uncle, while other top attendees like former US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Praful Patel also made their presence felt.
Other guests started trickling-in soon after, and included the Bachchans, Priyanka Chopra along with her husband Nick Jonas, Aamir Khan, Sachin Tendulkar, Rajinikanth, Shah Rukh Khan and Gauri, Salman Khan, Katrina Kaif, Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh, Hrithik Roshan, Shilpa Shetty and Vidhu Vinod Chopra et al.
Isha and Anand took their nuptial vows and are now together in the sacred bond of matrimony.
