Shroff and Adani tied the knot in a glamorous ceremony in Goa in 2013. Of course the billionaire brothers Mukesh and Anil Ambani were there (although Anil has gone bankrupt since), as well as other well-known businesspeople including Anand Mahindra and Anil Agarwal, and even India’s prime minister Narendra Modi, who was at the time Gujarat’s chief minister. Images of the event showed Shroff looking glam in a shimmery white ensemble, her hair loose and make-up minimal.
The Indian Express reports that a total of 22,000 people were invited to attend one of three lavish receptions hosted by the Adani family to celebrate the wedding. The additional receptions are customary in India as a way for people in other parts of the country to get the chance to mark the momentous occasion.
The newest Adani
The Economic Times reported the couple welcomed their first child together in 2016. The baby girl was named Anuradha Karan Adani. At the time, proud granny and mum to Paridhi, Vandana, said the baby girl looked like a “princess”.
