Chennai industrialists daughter weds Media barons son
Nayantara, daughter of Chennai industrialists Nina and Shyam Kothari is marrying Shamit, the son of Shobana Bhartia (Chairperson of The Hindustan Times). The wedding is in January, in Chennai after which the Bhartias host a celebration in Delhi. Last month, the Bhartias hosted a royal theme dinner at Delhi’s Imperial Hotel to formally introduce the to-be-weds to some of their friends. “I have been to the most beautiful celebrations in the world, but nothing compared to the class and understated elegance of this celebration”, a guest told us. We can’t wait to see the wedding photographs; seems highly unlikely though since the Kotharis and Bhartias are very private people.
An Elegant Affair at Taj Mahal Hotel
A week after Nayantara’s wedding in Chennai, is the wedding of Arjun Hitkari, son of prominent socialites & business persons Debbie and Arun Hitkari. Arjun is marrying Gayatri Misra who is the daughter of Ajoy Misra, a hean-honcho with the House of Tatas. So naturally, the venue for the wedding is the Taj Mahal Hotel, Mumbai.
