The much-anticipated wedding of Jeet Adani, son of industrialist Gautam Adani, and Diva Shah is set to take place on February 7 in Ahmedabad. While the event has been the subject of speculation, with rumors suggesting high-profile celebrity appearances, the Adani family has clarified that the wedding will be a private affair attended by close friends and family.
What sets this wedding apart is its commitment to inclusivity and social responsibility. The couple recently visited Mitti Cafe at Mumbai Airport, an establishment run by people with disabilities, to personally invite the team to their wedding. This gesture reflects the broader theme of the wedding—one that celebrates empowerment and meaningful contributions from various communities.
NGOs and Artisans Collaborate for a Unique Wedding Experience
In a remarkable initiative, the Adani family has partnered with several NGOs and artisans to make the wedding a socially responsible event. Various handicrafts and customized gifts prepared by skilled artisans will be featured in the celebrations.
Among the key collaborations are:

As the wedding date approaches, this grand yet purpose-driven celebration is set to make a lasting impact, proving that luxury and responsibility can go hand in hand.
