Wedded to wealth

Like elsewhere in India, the marriage season in Mumbai is considered the opportune occasion to display wealth. But even by that yardstick, a wedding in the family of a well-known city realtor touched new heights. The builder booked the entire Oberoi hotel in south Mumbai for the wedding and presented Audis, Mercedes and BMWs to wedding guests in a lucky draw. The first prize was Rs 1.5 crore in cash! The builder is well known in Mumbai’s richie-rich circles for spending Rs 300 crore in cash to build a temple in Rajasthan.
