Facing the Arabian Sea, the property has prime views of the ocean, making it one of the most sought-after properties in the area. Here’s what you need to know about Isha and Anand’s lush home.
The big move
It might have seemed an unusual step for Isha to move out of the Ambani family home as the 27-storey skyscraper definitely has enough space for the couple, with 400,000 square feet of floor space. Isha’s brother Akash lives there with his wife Shloka Mehta and baby son Prithvi, as does her other brother, the as-yet unmarried “perfect son” Anant.In an interview with Femina a year after their wedding – that saw the likes of Bill and Hillary Clinton attend as guests and Beyoncé perform – Isha’s mum Nita said she had to adjust to her daughter moving out. She said it was hard when her daughter said she was “going home” when she was leaving after a visit to Antilia. Nita explained that although it was a bittersweet moment, she realised Isha had her own family to nurture.The US$61 million wedding gift
India Times reported the house, named Gulita, was a wedding gift from Anand’s parents, Ajay and Swati. The Piramal family have interests in real estate and pharma. According to Reuters they bought the property, which was previously owned by Hindustan Unilever, for US$61.2 million in 2012.
The structure
In the lead-up to the wedding, the house underwent major remodelling and renovations, reported Reuters. The luxury abode is easily picked out, with its three glazed steel “palm tree” structures made using 3D modelling tools, the largest of them 11 metres tall. Reuters reported that Eckersley O’Callaghan, a London-based engineering firm was involved in the project.
Inside Gulita
The Mumbai Mirror reports the house has five floors and three basements, of which the second and third are used for services and parking. The newspaper reports the first basement has a lawn, an open-air body of water and double height multipurpose rooms.
The ground floor is the lobby, which has triple height multipurpose rooms and circular studies.
Pictures taken inside the refurbished home show a diamond theme running through the house. Times Now reports there is a temple as well as a diamond room filled with lavish chandeliers and custom-made furniture for the family.
