Anant Ambani pre-wedding dinner: Billionaire Anand Piramal opts to arrive in Toyota Camry; wins netizens' hearts

In a world dominated by luxury cars, billionaire businessman Anand Piramal stood out by arriving at his brother-in-law’s pre-wedding dinner in a humble Toyota Camry. This choice won him admiration on social media, where users praised his simplicity amid the sea of Maybachs and Rolls Royces. The Camry, priced at less than Rs 60 lakh, highlighted Piramal's unpretentious nature.

Anand Piramal is married to Isha Ambani, daughter of Mukesh Ambani, chairman of Reliance Industries, and his wife, Nita Ambani. Mukesh Ambani’s net worth is a staggering $119 billion, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. Anand Piramal himself is the heir to the Piramal Group, with his father Ajay Piramal's net worth estimated at over $3 billion.

The Ambanis hosted a dinner at their opulent Mumbai residence, Antilia, on Friday night as part of the pre-wedding celebrations for Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant. Anand Piramal was captured on camera arriving in his reliable Toyota Camry, a vehicle he has been seen using frequently.

Social Media Reactions

One social media user commented, "Toyota car. Simplicity," with a heart emoji. Another noted, "Toyota car and normal outfit and slippers. Really a simple man," accompanied by applause emojis. A third remarked, "That’s the only car of the Ambani clan that I can afford." Numerous others echoed the sentiment, applauding Piramal's "simplicity."

The Toyota Camry starts at Rs 46.17 lakh in India. Last July, Anand Piramal and Isha Ambani were also seen several times in the Camry, including a visit to Bombay Canteen in Mumbai’s Lower Parel, underscoring their preference for understated elegance.

The festivities at Antilia were also graced by the presence of RSS Chief Mohan Bhagwat. In a gesture of generosity, the Ambanis are set to host a mass wedding for the underprivileged on July 2nd, just ten days before Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant's wedding in Mumbai.
