On Tuesday, world-renowned industrialist Gautam Adani, accompanied by his family, arrived in Prayagraj to take part in the holy darshan of the Maha Kumbh. He was joined by his wife, Dr. Preeti Adani, Chairperson of the Adani Foundation, his son Karan Adani, daughter-in-law Paridhi Adani, and his granddaughters. Jeet Adani, Gautam’s younger son, also participated in the spiritual journey. During his visit, Adani also shared the date of his son Jeet’s wedding, announcing it will take place on February 7, 2025. When asked by journalists if there would be a “Maha Kumbh” of celebrities at the wedding, he responded that it would be a simple family affair.
