Mumbai: In a warm and humane gesture, Jeet Adani - the young scion of billionaire industrial tycoon Gautam Adani – hosted and blessed 21 newly married physically-challenged women and their husbands, just 48 hours before his own marriage scheduled on February 7, officials said here on Wednesday.
Jeet, 27, is slated to tie the knot with Diva Shah, the daughter of Mumbai-based diamantaire Jaimin Shah, the co-owner of the leading diamond house C. Dinesh & Co. Pvt. Ltd, with operations sprawled across Surat and Hongkong.
Ahead of Jeet’s ‘low-profile’ nuptials, the Adani family announced a new initiative ‘Mangal Seva’ to pour joy into the lives of 500 newly-married women with disabilities.
“Every year, they shall be provided financial assistance of Rs One Million each. Today, Jeet Adani met the first of the 21 couples under the ‘Mangal Seva’ initiative at his home in Ahmedabad,” said an official source.
