The response came in the wake of rumour mills active on social media that claimed a galaxy of international stars and prominent figures would grace Jeet Adani’s wedding to Diva Shah, daughter of Surat diamond merchant Jaimin Shah. The rumoured guest list included Elon Musk, Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, Daniel Craig, Taylor Swift, Justin Bieber, Kanye West, the Kardashian sisters, Rafael Nadal, Diljit Dosanjh, Sundar Pichai, Satya Nadella, Billie Eilish, Coldplay, King Charles, and even the Pope.
Speaking after performing the Ganga Aarti at Prayagraj’s Triveni Sangam with his family, Adani emphasized, “Our values and way of life are rooted in simplicity and the working class. Jeet has also come here to seek Ma Ganga’s blessings. The wedding will be a modest and traditional family event.”
Adani confirmed that the wedding, scheduled for February 7, would be a private ceremony in Ahmedabad. His announcement came during a visit to the Maha Kumbh Mela, where he was accompanied by his wife Dr. Priti Adani, sons Karan and Jeet, daughter-in-law Paridhi, and granddaughter Kaveri. At the Kumbh, the family offered prayers at the Lete Hanuman Temple and participated in the Mahaprasad Seva at ISKCON, where Adani is funding the distribution of over one lakh free meals daily. Additionally, he is donating one crore prayer books printed by the esteemed Gita Press of Gorakhpur.
Describing the Maha Kumbh Mela as an “unparalleled experience,” Adani commended the Modi and Yogi administrations for their exceptional arrangements, particularly in policing and sanitation. He suggested that the event’s successful organisation should be studied by management schools and corporate entities for its operational excellence.
