The usually peaceful Altamount Road turned into a buzzing neighbourhood as gates of the tower- house Antilla 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- brother Akash and brother Anant Ambani rode out on specially requisitioned horses, in traditional attire, beginning the nuptial ceremony of the duo.
Guards armed with automatic rifles led the baraat, ahead of a brass band from Jaipur, playing choicest of numbers to which the guests, including the groom’s father Ajay Piramal, swayed. Akash and Anant, along with their uncle Anil Ambani, welcomed the procession.
Guests trickled in soon after and included former president Pranab Mukherjee, ex-US secretary of state and first- lady Hillary Clinton, the Bachchans, Priyanka Chopra along with husband Nick Jonas, Aamir Khan and Sachin Tendulkar. A special pedestal was created for the media across the road in a private residence to capture the goings- on.
