The world is like chess, in the previous article, we talked about the story of India's "two rich" Ambani family, including the entrepreneurial history of Drubai Ambani, the broom of the two sons in the second generation, and what their beautiful wives are,
It can be reviewed here
The Ambani family returned to the richest man at the end of January due to the stock market turmoil.
▲ Adani, the original richest man, has shrunk his net worth significantly, falling from No. 3 in the world on the Forbes rich list to No. 24.
It can be seen that in the top rich circle, paper wealth is still unreliable, and the so-called richest man has returned to the Ambani family, a family that has been rich for many years. We also re-call them "richest man" in this article.
▲ Turi is Mukesh Ambani's family, he and his wife Nita and their three children, as well as the eldest daughter and the younger son's respective partners, we will talk in detail below.
▲ This photo is the family of the richest brother Anil Ambani, who and his wife Tina have two sons.
Today, let's target the third generation of the Ambani family, see what kind of luxurious life they live under the shade of their ancestors, and what kind of partner they have found, by the way, the common rules of today's Indian giants.
Considering the large number of characters, a family relationship diagram was specially made:
▲ Because Indian names are really long and complex, here is a reference to the Korean drama "The Little Son of the Chaebol" to refer to the characters with serial numbers, for example, "1-0" refers to the "richest man" Mukesh Ambani, "1-@" refers to his wife Nita, their children are "1-1", "1-2", "1-3", and their respective spouses are "1-1-@", "1-2-@", "1-3-@", and so on, which is convenient to view against the characters.
Xiaomei's son and daughter
If in order of the age of the second generation of the Ambani family, the first to say should be the three children of the Mukesh family who have regained the throne of the "richest man", but given that their family is the richest and the wedding is the most luxurious, let's leave a suspense, put the main play at the end, let's start with the children of the younger sister Nina Kothari (4-0) in reverse order.
As mentioned in the previous article, Nina Kothari is married to her husband Bhadrashyam Kothari (more commonly known as Shyam Kothari), the husband of the "rich third generation", and the couple live in Chennai (southeast India) after marriage, staying away from the media and keeping a low profile. In 2015, after her husband died of illness, she took over as chairman of the family business.
▲ A rare photo of husband and wife.
The couple have two children, daughter Nayantara Bhartia (4-1) and son Arjun Kothari (4-2).
The daughter Nayantara (4-1) changed her maiden name Kothari to her husband's surname Bhartia after marriage. With a high nose, deep eyes, and exquisite makeup, she is definitely a first-class beauty in the family.
▲ A photo of her with her mother Nina.
Nayantara kept her parents' low profile, and the media knew little about her personal information, except that she had studied at Stanford but did not come out to work, but became the first third generation of the entire Ambani family to marry.
In 2013, she married Shamit Bhartia (4-1-@), a graduate of Dartmouth College:
This person's appearance is really not very suitable, but the financial strength is absolutely possible, the man's family can be called India's old money family, the standard rich N generation.
His maternal grandfather, K. K. Birla (full name Krishna Kumar Birla) comes from the famous Birra family, the Aditya Birla Group, a large group founded in 1857. Later, my grandfather came out on his own to start the Hindustan Times (HT) Group, one of India's largest newspapers and media outlets.
K. K. Birla and his wife had three daughters. Although it was a standard arranged marriage, the couple had a deep relationship, and even a month after his wife's death, he died due to excessive grief. After his death, the property was divided into different parts and handed over to his three daughters, the eldest daughter was divided into the textile and sugar business, the second daughter was divided into the fertilizer business, and the media empire was managed by the youngest daughter Shobhana Bhartia, who entered the group early and experienced the experience, that is, the mother of Shamit Bhartia (4-1-@):
K. K. Birla and daughter Shobhana Bhartia, who became the first female CEO of an Indian national newspaper.
Shobhana Bhartia's husband, also known as Shamit Bhartia's (4-1-@), is also not small. He is the chairman of the pharmaceutical group Jubilant Pharmova named Shyam Sunder Bhartia:
▲ In Forbes' latest list of India's richest people in 2022, Shyam Bhartia and his brother ranked 61st with a net worth of $3.34 billion.
▲ The couple rarely share the same frame, and finally found a valuable group photo.
As we have said before, the vast majority of marriages in India are arranged by parents, especially in high society in order to achieve mutual interests in order to promote family matching.
However, media reports emphasize that granddaughter Nayantara (4-1) and husband Shamit (4-1-@) are not "blind marriages", but because the two are friends, they have known each other since childhood, and they naturally came together.
In January 2013, they held their final farewell party on the eve of their wedding at Antilia, the huge mansion of the richest mansion:
Immediately afterwards, the official wedding was held in Chennai, the couple's usual residence, and no media was invited, so the photos that leaked were limited.
▲ The only thing that can be confirmed is that the bride is really beautiful.
In 2017, there was news that grandmother Kokilaben held a baby shower for Nayantara, indicating that she may have become a mother, but the outside world still knows nothing about the authenticity of the news and other details, which may be closely related to the in-laws' control of the media empire, and the secrecy work is too well done.
Arjun Kothari (4-2), the son of his younger sister Nina (4-0), who holds both a Bachelor of Science degree from Northwestern University and a bachelor's degree in global health and European politics from Sciences Po in Paris, took over the company as managing director after his father's death.

▲ Arjun Kothari's Instagram avatar is also a daily photo of the little couple.
▲ This is the photo of Anandita, who has not yet passed the door, accompanying her mother-in-law Nina to the wedding of her cousin Akash Ambani (1-1), next to Kokilaben, the head of the Ambani family, and their gorgeous clothes represent the highest level of embroidery.
On November 21, 2019, the youngest sister's son Arjun Kothari (4-2) married Anandita Mariwala (4-2-@).
Anandita Mariwala (4-2-@) comes from the historic Mariwala family, whose ancestors founded Bombay Oil Industries in 1862, and as the business continued to expand, coupled with the distribution of wealth among future generations, her uncle went out to start his own business and became Marico (comparable to the local "Unilever") that has grown into India's fast-moving consumer goods giant.
However, her father, Rajen Mariwala, was not the founder of Marico (but the founder's brother), who only retained shares in the company, did not bear any administrative responsibility, and became a separate aromatic chemical manufacturing company, Eternis Fine Chemical.
Their weddings, ranging from pre-wedding parties to formal ceremonies, were held in Mumbai and Chennai to facilitate guests from different regions to attend nearby:
▲ At the cocktail party before marriage, the couple sat side by side among the flowers and took a sweet photo.
▲ At the wedding, father Rajen Mariwala held his daughter's hand.
▲ There is also a photo of the newlyweds and their uncle Anil and aunt Tina.
A son and a daughter of the eldest sister
After talking about the family of his younger sister Nina Kothari (4-0), he next talks about a son and a daughter born to another daughter of Drubai Ambani, Deepti Salgaocar (3-0), and her husband Dattaraj V. Salgaocar (more commonly known as Raj Salgaocar, 3-0-@).
▲ (3-0) A group photo of a family of four.
His son, Vikram Salgaocar (3-1), is said to be the eldest of the third generation of the Ambani family, which makes sense, after all, his mother Deepti is the first in the second generation of the family to marry.
He graduated from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania with a bachelor's degree in Business Administration:
After working at Reliance Entertainment for a few years in the early years, he now returns to his dad company as the vice chairman in charge of business development:
In terms of age, he should have started a family long ago, but because the Salgaocar family is active in Goa all year round and has strict privacy protections, the media has not heard about his marriage status.
Let's talk about the eldest sister Salgaocar's daughter Isheta (3-2), some netizens think she is the most beautiful one in the Ambani family:
Her education is equally impressive, with a bachelor's degree in political science from Stanford University and a master's degree in journalism from Columbia University.
She has been invited as a contributing editor for Vogue, The Wall Street Journal (Indian Real-Time) and Huffington Post (India Edition), and is quite interested in the field of art, and she can often be seen dressed up to attend art festivals. Of course, her main business is also the vice president of the corporate development department of her own business.
In 2016, she married Neeshal Modi (3-2-@ BC), who works in the jewelry industry, her first marriage, reportedly after a successful proposal at a European ski resort, and then returned to Mumbai to get quickly engaged.
▲ The rightmost in this picture is the former son-in-law Neeshal Modi, who is not hidden, he looks more like his father-in-law (far left) than his uncle.
The wedding of the two was also unstinting, first a pre-wedding party in Antilia, the mansion of the "richest man" uncle, and then the family and guests went to Goa to stay at Salgaocar's own Goa Marriott Resort.
▲ Isheta at the wedding, the two on the left and right are her parents, behind her brother Vikram Salgaocar (3-1), and grandmother Kokilaben.
She with her cousin Nayantara (4-1, far right) and cousin Isha Ambani (1-2, far left).
▲ A group photo of the couple.
The groom of his first marriage, Neeshal Modi (3-2-@ BC), is the younger brother of Nirav Modi, a famous Indian jewelry merchant.
Nirav was the first Indian jeweler to appear on the cover of Christie's and Sotheby's albums, and once upon a time he was the best in Vanity Fair in the city, surrounded by countless fans.
▲ The right side of the picture is Nirav Modi, can you see who is on the left of the picture? Arjun Kothari's wife, Anandita Mariwala (4-2-@).
However, Nirav Modi's business empire collapsed in 2018, and he was accused of fraud, money laundering, embezzlement, and the brand went bankrupt. He himself ran first to Hong Kong, then to England, and was wanted by the Indian government.
▲ Looking at the recent news, he has been detained in Wandsworth prison in southwest London for a long time, and he should be about to be extradited back to India.
Pulling away... Why did Neeshal Modi's (3-2-@) marriage to Isheta Salgaocar (3-2) end, whether it was because of her brother's "lost" relationship, we don't know, only that shortly after the two announced their separation and divorce in 2022, the "most beautiful" Isheta of the family completed her second wedding in London, with Atulya Mittal (now 3-2-@):
From the point of view of appearance, the current tall and handsome is indeed better.
▲ She snuggled up to his chest, and the huge diamond ring on her ring finger shone.
The background of her second husband, Atulya Mittal (now 3-2-@), is also outstanding. Born into a famous family, his father Vinod Mittal is the younger brother of Lakshmi Mittal, an Indian steel tycoon who lives in the UK and the executive chairman of ArcelorMittal, the world's second-largest steelmaking company, so Atulya also worked in the family company for several years after graduating from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania.
He went to Harvard Business School for an MBA and then started working as an investment company, such as acquiring a pizza business in India and becoming an American brand Papa John's. John's Indian franchise dealership, such as Nexzu Mobility, which has been doing it for several years, focuses on electric (bicycle) tracks.
For this combination, the most talked about is actually the wedding venue, which was chosen in London's Stoke Park:
▲ Located in Buckinghamshire, it was built in 1066 and was once the residence of Queen Elizabeth I, covering a total area of 300 acres (more than 1.21 million square meters), including a country club, a five-star hotel and a spa, and it was also the filming location of the movie "007: Goldfinger".
For the general public, Stoke Park has been closed for renovations since August 2021 and is not expected to reopen until 2023.
So why is Isheta Salgaocar (3-2) getting married here?
Because her uncle, the "richest man" Mukesh Ambani, is the new owner of the estate, and his Reliance Industries subsidiary paid £57 million to pocket it in April 2021:
This is also one of the steps taken by the Ambani family to start overseas expansion. But before the manor is opened to the public, it is really luxurious enough to use it for a wedding for his niece, and also for family reunions.
▲ On the wedding day, the bride is as beautiful as ever, but the groom, or the suit in the night is more suitable for him...
▲ The bride's mother Deepti Salgaocar (3-0) and grandmother Kokilaben, grandmother 88, can't you see it... I didn't wear pink this time, but this pink apple green is her aesthetic right...
The most surprising thing about the wedding scene is the following picture:
The one who led the bride's left hand through the arch made of flowers was Anant Ambani, the youngest son of the "richest man", who turned back into a big fat man, knowing that the article that he successfully lost 108kg in a year and a half is still hanging on the Internet.
▲ Fat, thin, I really didn't expect to return to the original point. We will talk more about him below.
Two sons of frustrated younger brother Anil
Then there are the two sons of his brother Anil Ambani and actor's wife Tina, Jai Anmol Ambani (2-1) and Jai Anshul Ambani (2-2):
▲ These two names are similar, look alike, have similar figures, and both have beards, which are too difficult to distinguish and extremely unfriendly to face blindness.
▲ The last way to find a way is to look at height, brother Jai Anshul Ambani (right) is taller than his brother.
▲ This is a family photo after the new daughter-in-law joined, Tina and Anil are tightly linked, it is still very sweet.
Brother Jai Anmol Ambani (2-1), born on December 12, 1991, according to the calculation of his parents only married in February 1991, really had him quickly after marriage.
▲ Childhood photos.
In high school, he was sent to Sevenoaks School in the UK, where he studied management at Warwick Business School. After graduating, he returned to his father's company, Reliance Capital, and was said to be highly regarded for successfully negotiating a partnership with Nippon Life.
On February 20, 2022, he married his bride, Khrisha Shah (2-1-@), at his mansion Sea Wind:
Khrisha Shah also returned from studying abroad, studying political economy with a minor in Italian Studies at the University of California, Berkeley, and later a master's degree in social policy and development from the London School of Economics.
▲ These experiences she wrote in a blog post reviewing her own growth.
Just as several of the third-generation members we talked about earlier are married to more or less wealthy people, so does Khrisha Shah.
▲ A family portrait of a family of five, the youngest is her.
Her father, Nikunj Shah, is the founder of the Nickunj Group, a global EDM filament with a wide range of businesses in aerospace, defense, abrasives, graphite and ceramics. However, just six months before the wedding, the father passed away, and he did not see his daughter consummate the marriage.
Her mother is a fashion designer and she has an older brother and an older sister.
▲ My sister is a small Internet celebrity, she sent a photo with her father on her Instagram, and she was reluctant to leave her father.
▲ A photo of my sister and my mother, and the left is my mother.
After his father's death, the company was handed over to his son, Khrisha's brother Mishal Shah (right).
Khrisha Shah (2-1-@) is more of an ambitious emerging entrepreneur than other wealthy children who either join a family business or are backed by a large family, and she and her brother have started a business, Dysco, which focuses on communication, sharing and collaboration in the Internet community.
▲ In the group photo, she has a resolute gaze and a proper businesswoman.
The past and duration of their relationship between Jai Anmol Ambani (2-1) and Khrisha Shah (2-1-@) are nowhere to be verified.
▲ In the early years, photos of the man surrounded by beautiful women in nightclubs are still circulating all over the Internet.
According to reports, the two met through family introductions, which is also a kind of arranged marriage, but it just gives each other time to get to know each other and decide whether to get married or not.
They got engaged in December '21 and consummated in February '22, and the main venue was Sea Wind, the mansion where Anil lived.
▲ Engagement party.
The wedding celebrations were elaborate, but Tina Ambani generously shared various photos from the scene, giving us a chance to learn about the customs and processes of a traditional Indian wedding.
It started with a pre-wedding party at the bride's house.
▲ I saw the bride's ring finger wearing a shining diamond ring. On the right is the mother of two newlyweds.
▲ Then under the sunset, the quasi-father-in-law Anil gave a speech, and everyone took a group photo.
This was followed by the Mehndi party on February 18, the Draw Heina, which mainly invited the bride and her closest female friends and family.
▲ The right of the picture below shows the bride dancing with her brother and sister.
Then on February 19, the Haldi ceremony (smearing turmeric to symbolize the happiness and prosperity of the new life) and the Choora ceremony (wearing a wedding bracelet for the bride).
▲ The picture on the left is mother Tina smearing turmeric for her son; On the right is turmeric and bracelets prepared by the bride's home (the bracelet on the front plate is to be worn on the bride's slender arm, which is too much and overweight).
▲ On the same day, there is also a traditional Gujarat ceremony, Mandva Mahurat (seeking blessings from Mother Earth).
Then on February 20, the official wedding will be:
▲ Take a look at the layout of the Sea Wind mansion, enter through the gate, as if you are in a park
▲ Details of the scene.
▲ Early in the morning, the groom's family was ready, and there was a book by Drubai Ambani on the coffee table.
▲ First the Baraat ceremony (i.e. riding a white horse, parade, dancing, similar to the domestic greeting). Mother-in-law Tina and father-in-law Anil are excited to join in.
▲ The bride watched the whole process through live broadcast. You can get a closer look at her dress for the day, the heart-shaped diamond ring on her ring finger, and the emerald diamond jewelry around her neck, which is quite rich.
▲ Wait until the bride officially appears.
▲ (omitted the middle prayer link) Ceremony, scattered flowers.
▲ The bride's sister and brother-in-law on the wedding day.
▲ The old mother Kokilaben also came, wearing her favorite pink sari and wearing a pink mask, taking a group photo in front of Drubai's photo (left); There is also the eldest daughter of the "richest man" family, Isha (1-1, back right).
▲ That night, the couple took a group photo with the guests on site.
On February 21, there will be a cocktail reception and dinner on the last day:
▲ The bride's appearance is beautiful.
▲ Mother-in-law Tina emotionally posted, "We finally waited for the daughter we always wanted."
▲ A group photo of the two families.
It is worth mentioning that a careful study of various scene pictures found that the "richest man" Mukesh and his wife Nita missed the important moment when their brother's son married a wife, which had to make people wonder whether the relationship between brothers had returned to the freezing point.
Of course, there are also various netizens who are denouncing that Anil has clearly announced that he has gone bankrupt, but his living standards do not seem to be affected in the slightest.
Speaking of the newlyweds, after the marriage, the bride Khrisha Shah's (2-1-@) Instagram account continued to update content related to her company's business, and it is clear that she does not intend to give up her career easily just because she is married. Occasionally, she also shows affection:
Next to this one is her husband, followed by her brother Jai Anshul Ambani.
Speaking of Anil's youngest son, Jai Anshul Ambani (2-2), it should be his birthday on September 7, 1996, and he graduated from New York University's Stern School of Business with a bachelor's degree in business management.
▲ His brother once posted a childhood photo of the brothers in Instagram, and wrote, "Happy birthday, love you, remember that everything you know is taught by me." ”
▲ This long-ago photo of the brothers of the third generation of the Ambani family, he is the one standing at the front, followed by his own brother Anmol (2-1), cousin Akash Ambani (1-1), and cousin Vikram Salgaocar (3-1).
Little information is available in the media about him personally. Professionally, he and his brother had been appointed directors of Reliance Infrastructure since October '19, but both resigned after less than a year of joining. As for private life, there is no news for the time being.
Two sons and one daughter of the richest family
Finally, it's time to talk about the children of the richest "richest" family.
From left: eldest son Akash (1-1), younger son Anant (1-3), daughter Isha (1-2), mother Nita (1-@) and father Mukesh (1-0).
The eldest son, Akash Ambani (1-1), was born on October 23, 1991, and his daughter Isha Ambani (1-2) were born with a dragon and phoenix fetus.
In the previous article, we said that the "richest man" and his wife Nita have been married for seven years without coming out, seeing that his brother Anil is ready to marry Tina, a female star who was not accepted by the family at that time, and the latecomer is on top, Nita's side naturally feels the pressure doubled, so she chose a test tube and successfully achieved a hug before her brother.
▲ Daughter Isha once said in a speech that they are IVF babies, and mother Nita is a "tiger mother".
As the eldest grandson of Drubai Ambani (rather than the grandson of other surnames), Akash's upbringing can be imagined to be smooth sailing, plus he inherited his mother's beauty, and he can be regarded as a talent (at least above the Indian average).
After graduating from Brown University with a degree in economics, he returned to his own group and joined the board of Jio, India's largest mobile Internet operator, in 2014, and it can be said that Akash has been involved in Jio's rapid rise in the country.
Last June, Dad resigned and became chairman of the board of Reliance Jio Infocomm Ltd.
▲ Because of this paving action, Akash was successfully selected into Time magazine's "Time 100 Next" list, and is the only Indian on the list.
Let's talk about the marriage of Akash, the eldest grandson of the Ambani family, which is also a perfect match.
His wife, Shloka Mehta (1-1-@), is the youngest daughter of jewelry merchant Russell Mehta. Mehta is also an old family of money, rich for generations, the group's main business in real estate, finance, retail and diamonds, of which their family Rosy Blue is one of India's top diamond companies.
▲ This photo of two in-laws. The first from the left is Shloka Mehta (1-1-@), the third from the left is her dad Russell Mehta, and the first from the right is her mom Mona Mehta. She also has an older brother and an older sister (not in the picture), the older brother is married to the shipping family, and the older sister is married to the restaurant magnate, all of which are strong union scripts.
▲ It is worth mentioning that her mother Mona Mehta and the wanted jeweler Nirav Modi mentioned above even have a relationship with more than one layer of kinship, which can't help but make people sigh that the Indian rich circle is really a circle that can't be bypassed.
According to media reports, Akash Ambani (1-1) and Shloka Mehta (1-1-@) are childhood sweethearts whose acquaintances date back to childhood, and later they went to school together at Dhirubhai Ambani International School, a school named after their grandfather in Mumbai.
After high school, Akash went to Brown University, Shloka went to Princeton to pursue a degree in anthropology, and after graduation went on to the London School of Economics to study for a master's degree in law and anthropology.
In March 2018, Akash proposed to Shloka in Goa, followed by an official engagement in Antilia, a mansion in Mukesh.
▲ There are not many pictures on the engagement day, put a family photo.
Since surpassing Jack Ma as Asia's richest man in November 2017, Mukesh has made a worldwide name. To catch up with the eldest son to marry a wife, it is even more solemn and powerful, and the public is invited to celebrate together, in order to reflect the family status and unparalleled economic strength.
The couple's official wedding took place on March 9, 2019.
But in February, they invited friends and family to fly to St. Bush, Switzerland. Moritz threw a three-day ice-themed pre-wedding party in the area, reportedly so large that he booked three hotels.
▲ The playground in Tuli was announced to be closed for the carnival.
▲ Mukesh and his daughter Isha under the media lens are smiling.
Newcomers Akash and Shloka are photographed riding in a carriage.
▲ The guest performer invited to the celebration was Chris Martin, the lead singer of Coldplay.
The wedding celebration in March, which lasted for several days, was chosen to accommodate more guests:
▲ The appearance of the building looks like this.
▲ The layout of the inner field is simply in a sea of flowers, and the "trench" is inhumane.
Needless to say, Bollywood stars are comparable to a star-studded film festival for Indians, but since we are really not familiar with each other, let's just put a few familiar pictures.
▲ For example, former United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and his wife.
▲ Another example is former British Prime Minister Tony Blair and his wife.
There is also Sundar Pichai (himself Indian-born) and wife Anjali Pichai, who succeeded Google's two founders as CEO.
Take a look at the wedding ceremony:
▲ The groom's coquettish expression to the bride is a little cute.
▲ The old lady Kokilaben held her cheeks and watched everything quietly.
▲ Nita, the wife of the "richest man", put her arm around her son and daughter-in-law.
▲ There was also Isha Ambani, who had already taken the lead in consummating the marriage at that time, to send blessings to the couple.
The ceremony was followed by two consecutive days of receptions.
▲ The scene is crowded and lively.
After marriage, Shloka (1-1-@) followed to live in Antilia, the mansion of the "richest mansion":
▲ A photo with Takashi Murakami (left) at home.
▲ Occasionally posted photos can see a corner of the mansion behind you.
In December 2021, she gave birth to her son Prithvi, the eldest grandson of the fourth generation of the Ambani family.
▲ This name also has a deep meaning. The father's name Akash means "sky" and the son's name stands for "earth". Indian netizens laughed that the Ambani family intends to rule the universe. The "richest man" who was newly promoted to grandfather simply laughed so hard that he couldn't keep his mouth shut ...
▲ A few days ago, the media also filmed a video of Akash holding his son.
▲ There is also a recent photo of a family of three, visible to the naked eye, Akash's body shape is also developing horizontally.
Then there is the only daughter of the "richest man" family, Isha Ambani (1-2).
She holds an undergraduate in psychology and South Asian studies from Yale University and an MBA from Stanford Graduate School.
In media reports, she was said to be the driving force behind Jio, and it was her complaint that her family's (and by extension, the whole of India) was rotten, which led to her father's entry into the mobile Internet field.
She joined Jio's board of directors at the same time as her brother Akash, but as Akash took over as his father's chairman, Isha's focus shifted.
Father Mukesh revealed in a speech in August that his daughter is about to lead the entire Reliance retail empire.
Isha's husband, Anand Piramal (1-2-@), is unsuspenseful and the son of a rich man.
▲ The man is 7 years older, is a bachelor's degree in economics from the University of Pennsylvania, an MBA from Harvard University, and his appearance can only be regarded as okay...
Anand Piramal's father, Ajay Piramal, is the chairman of Piramal Group, and the family business is not as faithful as Ambani, but it is also involved in pharmaceuticals, financial services, real estate, healthcare analysis and other fields.
Ajay Piramal is ranked 62nd on Forbes' list of India's richest people.
Speaking of which, the Piramal family is also old money, and the family business passed down from my father's grandfather has been passed down from generation to generation, but if you really want to make the business bigger and stronger, it may be thanks to the concerted efforts of Ajay Piramal and his wife Swati Piramal.
▲ Swati Piramal, the mother of Anand Piramal (1-2-@), received a bachelor's degree in medicine from the University of Mumbai in the 80s, and went to Harvard University School of Public Health in 1992 to study for a master's degree.
▲ Anand Piramal with his parents.
In fact, the Piramal family also has a daughter (far right), four years older than Anand, who is married to an American (back right).
Anand Piramal (1-2-@) and Isha Ambani (1-2) met based on a forty-year friendship between the two families. Isha feels that Anand, who is seven years older than her, has the characteristics of a father, mature, steady, and trustworthy.
In May 2018, Anand successfully proposed:
Then, in September, they went to Lake Como in Italy, chartered an ultra-luxury hotel, and had a lively engagement party for three days.
▲ Forgive the engagement scene picture is really limited.
Then in December, he chose to marry in Antilia, the mansion of the "richest mansion". The daughter Isha Ambani (1-2), who was engaged late, was married before the eldest son Akash Ambani (1-1).
▲ "Time" magazine titled this extremely extravagant wedding: "Let the movie "Crazy Rich Asians" that was being rammed at the time be ashamed of itself."
The weekend before the wedding, a celebration was arranged in Udaipur. According to media reports, more than 100 chartered planes carried passengers to and from the local airport, chartered at least five five-star hotels and set up a "temporary command room" in Mumbai to manage logistics.
▲ It was also at this time that Beyoncé staged a wonderful live performance, which also made the rich family of "The Richest Man" more famous in the world.
And then to the wedding day on December 12:
▲ The vocal Barrat ceremony (mentioned above, similar to our domestic greeting customs). The road leading to the mansion Antilia can be seen all decorated with water, the marchers surround the street, and there are security personnel on both sides of the road to maintain order.
▲ Wedding interior decoration, take this opportunity, you can get a glimpse of the interior of the mansion Antilia.
▲ The most touching thing is actually the reluctance of the old father Mukesh to send his daughter to marry, and he has been in tears several times.
▲ Anand's parents.
▲ There is Hillary sitting in the audience, why did she come? Of course, it's because of giving face to the gold lord's father.
▲ This picture shows that Hillary Clinton is accompanied by Huma Abedin (far left), who has served as a key member of her campaign team.
▲ After all the ceremonies, daughter Isha is about to drive to the groom's house. At the moment of hugging, my daughter is sobing, and my parents can't help crying...
The day after the ceremony, they also held a grand reception at Jio World Garden:
▲ A group photo of the couple and the parents of both sides.
After marriage, Isha lived in the wedding gift prepared by the groom's parents long ago, a mansion worth 64 million US dollars, although not more luxurious than her mother's family, but definitely first-class:
▲ This is the one pictured, named Gulita, located in Mumbai's wealthy Worli district, facing the Arabian Sea.
▲ Take a look at the several pictures flowing out of the mansion, there are spacious living rooms, conference rooms, multiple restaurants, outdoor swimming pools, gardens, etc. for entertaining guests.
The latest news about the couple is that they upgraded to become parents.
On November 19, 2022, Isha gave birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses, son Krishna and daughter Aadiya in Los Angeles. On December 24, they returned to India with their newborn, sparking a crowd of onlookers outside their mansion:
▲ Isha faces the sky and looks a little haggard.
▲ In the bottom picture, in addition to the "richest" wife Nita, there is also the old lady Kokilaben, and the youngest son Anant, who walks shakily.
Finally, let's talk about the youngest son, Anant Ambani (1-3), born on April 10, 1995, and graduated from Brown University.
▲ With the business management scope of the brother and sister finalized, the old father "richest man" Mukesh seems to be ready to hand over the company's new energy sector to the younger son.
▲ The "richest man" also bought an ultra-luxurious sea-view mansion in Dubai last August, with a 70-meter-long private beach, a total of ten bedrooms, a total of up to 80 million US dollars, and it is said that it was also given to his youngest son Anant.
▲ For the second son Anant (pictured right), a rich young master who grew up with a golden spoon and seemed to lack nothing, the only thing that bothered him may be obesity.
▲ According to the media, this is because of his asthma since childhood, affected by drugs, causing obesity. In his teens, he already weighed 178kg.
▲ Then in 2015-2016, he incredibly lost 108kg in 18 months and became a thin man ...
▲ The result remained for a few years and returned to square one.
At the end of December, Anant Ambani (1-3) announced her engagement to longtime girlfriend Radhika Merchant (quasi-1-3-@).
Anant and Radhika were reported to have been good friends in elementary school, but only developed a romance in recent years.
Radhika Merchant (quasi-1-3-@), super beautiful, graduated from New York University with a degree in politics and economics, and also comes from a wealthy family.
Her father, Viren Merchant, is the owner and CEO of Encore Healthcare, a large privately held pharmaceutical conglomerate, and a director of several companies.
▲ Merchant family of four.
▲ The father and daughter also have Anant during the thinning period.

From the photos of many occasions in the past, it can be seen that Radhika Merchant (quasi-1-3-@) is very familiar with the "richest man" and the "richest man" wife Nita, especially Nita, who almost treats her as a daughter.
▲ It may be because she is also trained in Borata dance, swaying and swaying, which can't help but remind Nita of herself as a dance teacher. The couple also went to the venue to see her dance performance.
▲ She also integrated into the "richest man" family early. On her birthday, she held a party at the mansion of the "richest mansion", with the help of Nita, the mother-in-law-to-be, who helped sing and applaud, and she also fed cake to the father-in-law Mukesh, who seemed to be happy.
To say that Radhika Merchant (quasi-1-3-@) and Anant Ambani (1-3), (when Anant is thin) still look quite compatible:
The engagement photos released by the official this time, the two seem to be very compatible:
However, the real engagement scene photo looks like this:
▲ In the picture below, Anant is still standing behind the bride and mother, which just covers his size.
In addition, this engagement ceremony, the "richest man" brother Anil and his wife Tina were not seen throughout the whole ceremony. To know the engagement and marriage of the children of the "richest man" family in the first two events, Anil and Tina both attended:
▲ At Isha Ambani's wedding in December 2018, Anil and Tina stood next to their old mother, Kokilaben.
▲ Akash Ambani's wedding in March 2019. At that time, it was also the time when Anil was waiting for his brother to borrow money to save him from prison. After that, Mukesh reached out a hand, and Anil expressed his gratitude, and the outside world believed that the brothers had let go of their previous suspicions.
But seeing that in February last year, Anil's son married a wife, his brother's "richest man" did not come, this time his brother's son was engaged, he did not go, onlookers can only wait for the follow-up...
Finally! Through several articles, I talked about the family stories of India's "richest man" and "second richest man", accompanied by the process of the richest man falling, the world is like a cloud, and the white cloud dog can be seen.
India is an important neighbor of China, and the changes in India, including changes in economic conditions, are inseparable from the mainland, which is why we pay attention to the rich circle of India, and India's customs and habits marriage status are also very special.
First of all, it is certain that "son preference" is still the most common thing in the Indian world today.
Members of the wealthy families in the city are valued by "sons", and it is rare to allow only daughters and no sons.
▲ You can feel the sex ratio of the third generation of the Ambani family. This old childhood photo shows Isha (1-2), Akash (1-1), Jai Anmol Ambani (2-1), Jai Anshul Ambani (2-2), and Anant (1-3) who hides in a corner and shows half of his face.
Secondly, India's marriage depends more on the "order of parents", even if there is a so-called "natural communication", it is based on mutual understanding and understanding in the same circle.
Their marriage is not determined by themselves, it is determined by their parents, and by the family background of both parties, which is more like an exchange of interests.
In fact, not only rich families, but also ordinary Indian families, if the woman cannot pay the dowry proposed by the man's parents, then the marriage is likely to be abandoned.
It is also because of this marriage that the class is further solidified, the rich are richer, and the poor cannot escape the fate of the bottom for generations.
When studying the financial matching of the newlyweds, it will be found that the richer male heirs look more at each other's appearance when choosing a spouse. After all, beautiful wives can really help improve family genes, like Ambani's, whether it is the "richest man" wife Nita or movie star Tina, they have made the descendants a lot more pleasant.
In contrast, the choice of a spouse for a rich woman will be more limited. The higher the family status, the fewer choices of ideal objects, so it is often seen that the appearance is not suitable.
Female family members tend to marry earlier and bear their husband's surname or even first name after marriage. Take the "richest man" wife, for example, her name was Nita Dalal before marriage and Nita Mukesh Ambani after marriage, and she was crowned not only with her husband's surname but also her husband's first name.
The only exception for the entire Ambani family is Isha Ambani (1-2), who took her husband's surname after marriage, but also retained her maiden name, which is her strength as the daughter of the "richest man".
Nowadays, when the media reports on her, they usually refer to her directly, or Isha Ambani-Piramal.
Third, compared with ordinary people who have children at every turn in India, they will find that the rich families who have developed to the second and third generations are more restrained and rational about giving birth.
The anthropologist Beckey once said, "Reducing reproduction is exactly what rich people are willing to follow monogamy." Monogamy helps to concentrate family wealth on the smallest and most effective number of legitimate heirs, helping to preserve the future of the family dynasty. ”
After all, controlling the number of children is the way for rich people to control the excessive dilution of wealth.
But even so, we can still foresee the vigorous growth and flourishing of the next generation from this huge family figure map, and continue to achieve the further growth of the family in the process of history.
Fourth, wealth is more likely to alienate people, and it is indeed an immutable truth.
In the Indian business world, there are not a few people who fall apart for the division of family property, which has led to the emergence of many huge enterprises being subdivided into branches and entrusted to various family members, but they have the same surname and are proud of their surname.
Not to mention that the relationship between the "richest man" Mukesh and his brother Anil makes the viewers feel that they are watching flowers in the fog, and even their relatives are equally difficult to escape the contention.
The 3-0 Salgaocar family, for example, was mired in a six-year separation lawsuit since 2013 before reaching a deal in which Dattaraj V. Salgaocar (3-@) controls the real estate, education and hospitality businesses, and his brother Shivanand retains the family's iron ore mining business as well as the health care division.
The report said that both sides were satisfied, but it is really difficult to say whether there will be disputes in the future.
After all, as long as the interests involved are large enough and the grudges are deep enough, even close family members cannot escape the opposition.
Finally, looking at the Ambani family's fanfare around the world, I think the follow-up stories of the third and fourth generations will be more exciting, so let's wait and see.
