Sailing in the same boat as Nita Ambani? Here's the checklist.

The Ambani household is abuzz with congratulatory messages. We hear that Mukesh and Nita Ambani’s elder son Aakash Ambani is all set to get hitched. Guess who is the lucky girl? She is none other than Shloka Mehta, the youngest daughter of diamantaire Russell Mehta. Although the two families have refused to comment on the news, sources say the engagement can be announced within the next few weeks and the wedding may take place in early December.

But unlike Bollywood celebrities, the son of the richest man in India will exchange vows in his own country. He will not fly down to a foreign shore to dodge the Indian media. Moreover the ceremonies will be held in accordance with the Gujarati traditions. At the moment, the families are fulfilling the preliminary customs that are held just before the engagement such as Godh Bharai.

During this ceremony, the mother of the groom gifts her would-be daughter-in-law a solah shringar ensemble that includes clothes, sindoor, kajal, bindi, mehendi, cosmetics and jewellery as a mark of acceptance. No matter Nita lives in a house that is managed by hundreds of staff members, she would like to herself handpick these things for her daughter-in-law all by herself. After all, before being a rich man’s wife, she is a mother of a son too. She too may have dreamed of this big day in her son’s life. How can she part with anyone this beautiful experience! Many of you will definitely relate to her feelings. You too may have shared the same sentiment at some point in time or may soon go through it.

But the biggest dampener to the whole excitement is how to choose jewellery that is long-lasting just like this beautiful union. Worry not! Here’s the checklist of what you can present to your bahu and make feel not just accepted but also special. 

Shagun ke kangan are a traditional gift from a mother-in-law to her bahu and with a twist of thushi, you will forge a motherly bond with her. 

You will make a great impression on your bahu with this designer choker. While she'll not just get acquainted to your spectacular taste in jewellery but also know how wonderful you are.   

Jhumkas are every woman's delight and your bahu is no different. Mark my words, this stunning pair will earn you extra brownie points from your bahu. 

While your son preps up to start his marital journey with a special engagement ring, you lay the foundation of a long lasting relationship with this one.   

With this raanihaar in the solah shringar ensemble, you have nailed it. You are THE best sasuma in town!
