Recently when I went from Mumbai to Pune all the way to attend the wedding of my Pune based sister in law Pushpa and my saadubhai Jayram Mani’s only daughter and my niece Rohini’s wedding or Shubh Vivah as it is halled traditionally to Surhud, the only son of Smita Gokhale and Kedar Gokhale at their own bungalow Vishwanath Smriti where all precautions were meticulously undertaken during the Covid 19 period at Vijayanagar Colony in the presence of only the immediate family, and to ensure that all friends as well as the relatives do not miss out on the rituals of the wedding which was conducted elaborately in not only Maharashtrian style as Surhud is a Maharashtrian but also South Indian style as Rohini is a Tamil Brahmin girl and there was also a live streaming of the wedding on the youtube - Jyothi Venkatesh
I was pleasantly surprised when my niece Rohini also gifted me and my wife some mangoes which were not only succulent but also sweet and what’s more delicious to the core.
I knew for sure that Rohini and her team consisting of her designer friends like Nikhil and Gouri had worked for Nita Ambani with their project manager Amruta for Nita Ambani’s ISL stadium branding and also designed for Nita Ambani’s Women’s under 17 team logos but I was happy that Nita Ambani who makes it appoint to send dozens of mangoes to all her work associates as well as dear friends including Amitabh Bachchan and Jaya Bachchan every year from their farm which is situated at Jamnagar, is also generous and benevolent enough to send a crate of dozen mangoes to each and every person who was associated with her projects.
Thanks Nita for the mangoes though I personally know only Tina Ambani and not Nita especially since I have been an hardcore film journalist all these years and Tina Munim Ambani had literally blossomed as an actress in front of my eyes when she made her debut with Dev Anand’s film Des Pardes four decades ago.
It is to be noted that the Kesar mangoes have been gown at her Jamnagar at Reliance Lakhibaug farm and they have been scientifically ripened and also carbide free.
The containers read on the cover thus ‘Enjoy the taste of summer with these delicious Kesar mangoes, handpicked for you with utmost care and caution from our Jamnagar orchards and ended with a personal signature of Nita Mukesh Ambani stating With Best Wishes for your happiness and good health.
The accompanying letter written by Nita Ambani states that the delicious Kesar mangoes have been grown with love and packed with care.
