Successful arranged marriages are made in heaven and Reliance founder Dhirubhai Ambani knew how to make them happen.
The man, who built an empire navigating through the maze of Indian bureaucracy, brought all his skills and subtlety to arrange a match for his elder son, Mukesh.
He and his wife saw Nita at a Gharba dance and were bowled over. The first time Dhirubhai called Nita’s home, she banged it down thinking it was a prank call. But he persisted and spoke to his father, took both Nita and Mukesh into confidence, though independently.
Mukesh says he let his parents find a match on the condition that the final decision would be only his. A short successful courtship followed with Mukesh proposing to Nita in the middle of a busy road during peak traffic hour, blocking the vehicles behind.
As irate drivers honked, Mukesh popped the question and Nita said, “May be”.
