It was her son’s haldi ceremony and Nita Ambani wanted something different.

She moved away from her beautiful saris and ghagras and wore an antique gold-coloured Hyderabadi kurta designed by Manish Malhotra.

Tina Ambani and her daughter-in-law -- Krisha Shah Ambani and Jai Anmol Ambani, Tina and Anil Ambani’s elder son, wed in 2022 -- opted for the traditional yellow that they accessorised with emeralds and diamonds.

Like many of the guests, Tina and her husband, Mukesh's younger brother Anil Ambani, changed to more comfortable attire for the haldi ceremony.
