Reliance Chairman Mukesh Ambani and Nita Ambani’s daughter Isha is getting married to Piramal Group’s Ajay and Swati Piramal’s son Anand on December 12 and the families are leaving no stone unturned in making it an event to remember. The past two days, December 8 and 9, saw the biggest of names from the worlds of entertainment, politics and business in attendance in Rajasthan’s Udaipur.
From former US First Lady Hillary Clinton to American pop sensation Beyonce, Udaipur saw a lot of activity on December 8 and 9 this year. The entire world’s focus this weekend was on the City of Lakes. And why not, Udaipur has hardly seen such a grand affair in recent times.
Saturday saw Isha and Anand’s wedding sangeet, which included performances from their friends and family members to Bollywood stars like Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan and Aamir Khan. Not just the Khans, even Hillary Clinton and former US Secretary of State John Kerry were seen doing the bhangra.
The two action-packed days culminated in a live performance by Beyonce, who left Udaipur with memories for a lifetime. The diva picked out two outfits for the big night, a red and gold high-slit ensemble by Abu Jani Sandeep Khosla and a heavily embellished gold bodysuit by Falguni and Shane Peacock.
The Ambanis and Piramals are rounding off the celebrations in Udaipur and will be leaving for Mumbai, where their children are tying the knot.

BUT WHO IS ANAND PIRAMAL, THE MAN ISHA AMBANI IS TYING THE KNOT WITH?
