From Tina Ambani to Tara Sutaria, here are today’s trailblazers

Main character energy
Who needs a premiere when you have a packed house? Sanya Malhotra ditches the red carpet for a sea of students at the Under25 Summit At Campus on Tuesday. Dropping by the VJTI campus, the Dangal actor kept it real — reflecting on her days as a student and matching the Matunga energy frame-for-frame.
Split wide open
One would think coming out of the closet isn’t such a big deal anymore, but when the man in question is a business tycoon, the city leans in to listen. Boardrooms are abuzz with the news that has long been secret. It might have passed under the radar for even longer, we hear, had it not been for a revealing real estate purchase by the tycoon’s formidable wife. After many years of marriage — and kids to boot — the couple have parted ways. Will a divorce follow? We don’t know. But a separation is certainly in the works.
Insta-love for an icon
A birthday post on social media is affection with an audience. On Tuesday, Tina Ambani served up a full-on tribute to Kokilaben via her official Instagram account — one that was as heartfelt as it was headline-worthy.

“To a woman of substance, an inspiration to the family, a guiding light, a rock of support and strength, the most remarkable person in our lives,” she wrote, signing off with, “Happy birthday Mummy. Health, happiness and all our love.”
Two years ago, the Ambani family matriarch turned 90 with a massive celebration at Sea Wind — a pink-themed soirée no less — followed by a faith-steeped sojourn to Nathdwara, Rajasthan, to seek blessings at the Shrinathji temple.
This year, the celebrations were quieter, but no less meaningful. Grand spectacle made way for intimate moments, proving that when it comes to Kokilaben, the reverence is constant — whether whispered in private or posted for the world to see.
B-Town’s big moves
The Year of the Fire Horse — known in the Chinese zodiac for its rare, intense, and transformative energy — is seeing several film faces galloping into new homes. Kriti Sanon, who currently rents a prodigious pad in Bandra, has purchased a duplex in the neighbourhood, and is poised to take possession later this year. Also ensuring a Pali Hill post code is Homebound hunk Ishaan Khatter, who registered his property purchase deed earlier this month (as mid-day has already reported).
Tara Sutaria
Now comes the turn of Tara Sutaria. She took social media by storm on Monday — showcasing her “first home” with a series of stunning images. Tables dressed with tuberoses did not go unnoticed, and neither did the grand piano that Tara actually plays herself (quite skilfully, we hear). Nothing is better breakup-recovery than a new pad to pour your passion into, and Tara appears to have done just that. A fresh canvas, primed for precious new memories.
No PR for the Posh
While Rashmika Mandanna’s wedding to Vijay Deverakonda has Udaipur agog at the moment, another milestone celebration in the state went by without a melee. That’s just how the upper echelons of society prefer their private events: dramatic, but discreet. Industrialists, old money, and a posse of policy makers made their way to Bikaner for Archana and Harsh Mariwala’s fiftieth wedding anniversary celebrations recently.
Harsh Mariwala
The Marico magnate hosted a two-day gala for over 100 guests, with the likes of Mala Goenka and Minakshi Bajaj in attendance, and live performances from an assortment of entertainers including Sushant Divgikar (aka Rani KoHEnur).
Mariwala’s sisters — Mallika Amin, Pallavi Jaikishan, and Priti Shah — attended too, flying in from as far as Los Angeles to mark the occasion. And though the event was extremely hush-hush, we hear from several sources that it was elegant, authentic, and effortlessly stylish. All fun, no flaunt.
