Nita Ambani and Mukesh Ambani are celebrating their 40th wedding anniversary today, as they got married on March 8, 1985. Let’s take a look at what Nita wore on her special day to mark this beautiful occasion.
Nita Ambani’s Wedding Outfit
Nita Ambani looked stunning on her wedding day. She combined tradition and modern style with a simple but elegant outfit that had special meaning. Nita wore two sarees with beautiful tie-and-dye bandhani work. One was a Panetar saree, which showed respect for her mother’s family, and the other was a Gharchola, which honored her husband’s family. Let’s take a closer look at her wedding outfit.
The Gharchola and Panetar are important parts of a Gujarati wedding. The Panetar is a white or ivory silk saree with a red or maroon border, while the Gharchola is a red and gold saree. The Panetar is given by the bride’s family, and the Gharchola is from the groom’s family, showing the bride’s welcome into her new home.
To complete her beautiful look, Nita Ambani wore delicate bangles and bracelets, a hand ornament (haath phool), a half-moon forehead jewelry (mang tika), and a nose ring (nath). Her makeup was simple with traditional forehead bindis, mascara on her lashes, natural eyebrows, and light makeup. Finally, Nita styled her hair in a neat, center-parted bun.
A Memorable Proposal: Mukesh Ambani’s Unforgettable Moment
Nita Ambani is a trained Bharatanatyam dancer. In 1984, she gave a dance performance that caught the attention of Kokilaben Ambani and the late Dhirubhai Ambani. They then arranged for her to meet Mukesh Ambani.
The couple dated for 3 weeks before Mukesh Ambani finally proposed. While they were driving on Pedder Road, he stopped the car at a traffic signal and refused to move, even though cars were waiting behind them, until she said yes to his proposal.
