Gautam Adani's son's wedding to feature hand-painted shawls by NGO
What's the story
Jeet Adani and Diva Jaimin Shah, who are scheduled to get married on Friday, have taken a unique route for their wedding preparations.
The couple has partnered with several NGOs and local artisans to design unique items for their wedding.
One such partnership is with the Delhi-based NGO Family of Disabled, which has been commissioned to make hand-painted shawls for the couple.
While Adani is billionaire Gautam Adani's younger son, Shah is the daughter of diamond merchant Jaimin Shah.
