Mukesh Ambani's brother Anil Ambani is related to Anil Kapoor, Tina Ambani's sister Bhavana is...
Anil Ambani, the younger brother of India's business tycoon Mukesh Ambani, is married to former Bollywood actress Tina Ambani. While this union already bridges the worlds of business and cinema, there's an even deeper link between the Ambanis and Bollywood. Surprisingly, the Ambani family is also connected to the legendary Kapoor family — a name that has shaped Indian cinema for decade. Curious how? Here's the story. Tina Ambani (formerly Tina Munim) has two siblings—Bhavana and Nayan Munim. While her brother Nayan is involved in business, her sister Bhavana Motiwala (her maiden name being Bhavana Munim) works as a costume designer in the film industry. Bhavana has contributed to films like Rocky (1981) and Aakhir Kyon? (1985), and is known for her work behind the scenes. Bhavana is married to Tushar Motiwala, and they have two children—Antara and Karan. Tina Ambani shares a close bond with her niece Antara Motiwala, which is often visible through her warm social media posts featuring Antara and her kids. Now, here's where Bollywood meets the Ambani family—Antara Motiwala is married to Mohit Marwah, who happens to be the nephew of actor Anil Kapoor. The couple tied the knot in February 2018 in a grand destination wedding at the Waldorf Astoria in Ras Al Khaimah, UAE. The wedding saw a glittering guest list, including major Bollywood names like Anil Kapoor, Sridevi, Boney Kapoor, Sonam Kapoor, and Rhea Kapoor, among others. Who is Mohit Marwah? Mohit Marwah is an Indian actor and part of the extended Kapoor family from Bollywood. He is the son of Reena Kapoor (sister of Boney, Anil, and Sanjay Kapoor) and Sandeep Marwah, who owns Noida Film City. That makes Mohit the nephew of veteran actor Anil Kapoor. Born on August 26, 1984, Mohit has acted in a few Hindi films, including Fugly and Raag Desh. He also has a younger brother, Akshay Marwah. Who is Antara Motiwala Marwah? Antara Motiwala Marwah is a fashion and style expert. According to her bio, she studied Fashion Styling in Milan and interned with Vanity Fair Italia. After returning to India, she joined GQ India and rose quickly through the ranks, eventually becoming one of the youngest Fashion Editors at Conde Nast globally. She now runs her own fashion consulting business. Mohit and Antara Marwah marriage Antara and Mohit tied the knot on February 20, 2018, in a luxurious wedding attended by Bollywood's biggest stars. Today, they are proud parents to two children—a daughter named Thea and a son named Yuvaan. Tina Ambani, Antara's aunt by marriage, shares a close bond with the couple. On their recent anniversary, she posted warm wishes saying, 'Beautiful Antu and dashing Mohit, the most striking couple and now doting parents to the most gorgeous kids… it's been wonderful to be part of your journey. May each year bring more happiness and joy. Love and blessings always.'
