So are Tina and Anil parting ways? According to sources close to the Ambani bahu, an immediate split is ruled out. In fact, those in the know say that the couple have closed ranks following the fallout between Anil and Mukesh. "She has made it clear that for the moment she does not want to be anybody other than Tina Anil Ambani," says a family friend. In any case, the much-gossiped about settlement between the couple is unlikely to happen with the war between the brothers for Reliance raging.
Sen, on her part, has laughed off the link-up as a figment of people’s imagination and has detailed how she got her mother to buy the ring. But the diamond story doing the rounds in Mumbai is an alluring one. It was apparently sold by a well-known celebrity dealer who has an outlet in Hotel Taj Mahal Palace, and who’s also close to Samajwadi Party general secretary Amar Singh. The ring was then crafted by one of Mumbai’s famous and long-serving Maharashtrian jeweller families. But even this is old news, say the chatterati. The latest is that the Ambani attention has moved on to another beauty queen, also the toast of Bollywood, who happens to be associated with the Sahara India Parivar too.
The buzz—and with an outgoing personality like Anil there’s plenty—is that a film star and SP supporter had even talked to Rai’s parents about a possible marriage. Her condition: she’d consider it only if the bridegroom was single. But there is no confirmation on this and his camp says all the stories are planted.
What is confirmed is that the Ambani bahus—Nita and Tina—do not see eye to eye. Both have been careful to maintain decorum but may not anymore as their husbands look inclined to go separate ways. In fact, as the brothers drift, the wives have closed ranks behind their husbands. Tina too, never mind the rumours.
