See inside pics of Isha Ambani-Anand Piramal's house, Gulita
When business giant Mukesh Ambani's only daughter Isha got married to Anand Piramal, the Piramal Group scion, in her house, Antilia, the world's most expensive home, everyone saw the extravaganza. After her December 2018 wedding made headlines, it was the turn of her new house, Gulita, to make news. Pictures of the 50,000sqft mansion have taken the Internet by storm. Find out why.
Gulita was bought by the Piramals at Rs. 450cr
The building, one of the most iconic ones in Mumbai is located in Worli, and offers beautiful view of the sea. Made on a diamond theme, the building was bought by the Piramals in 2012 from Hindustan Unilever by paying a stunning Rs. 450cr. Considering the market vibe has remained since then, the current valuation can easily be Rs. 1,000cr, given the location.
1,000 people worked 24hrs to prepare the house before wedding
On September 19 last year, the BMC had approved of full occupancy and issued a building completion certificate, after which over 1,000 workers worked 24 hours to ready the house before December 1. A grand puja was conducted on December 2. On December 12, when Anand and Isha got married, his parents, Ajay and Swati Piramal gifted them the all-geared up house.
