Why is Elon Musk's mother in India right now?
What's the story
Elon Musk's mother, Maye Musk—a renowned supermodel and dietitian—has arrived in India to mark two special milestones. She's celebrating her 77th birthday and also launching the Hindi edition of her bestselling memoir, Jab Aurat Sochti Hai. The book, a Hindi translation of her internationally lauded memoir A Woman Makes a Plan: Advice for a Lifetime of Adventure, Beauty, and Success, was launched at a private event in Mumbai.

The birthday celebrations were hosted at The St. Regis Mumbai, attended by a few guests including her younger son Kimbal Musk, a restaurateur and environmentalist. The fact that she chose to celebrate in India, instead of abroad, left many surprised. Ahead of the launch event, Maye had visited Siddhivinayak Temple with friend-Bollywood actor Jacqueline Fernandez.
