Starry Night: NMACC’ 3rd Anniversary Gala

April 4, 2026 – The Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre (NMACC) celebrated its three-year milestone on Friday night with a gala that reaffirmed its status as the crown jewel of India’s cultural landscape. The “pink carpet” was rolled out for a glittering array of stars, merging the worlds of Bollywood, cricket, and high fashion in a night dedicated to the “power of three.”

A Regal Hostess and the Symbolism of Three

The evening was anchored by the vision of Nita Ambani, who appeared in a breathtaking molten gold silk saree accented with deep crimson zari work. In her address to the guests, she highlighted the spiritual and cultural significance of the number three, referencing the Trimurti (Brahma, Vishnu, and Mahesh) and the three Devis, symbolizing a journey of creation and artistic fulfillment.

New Parents and Power Couples

Among the most anticipated arrivals were Sidharth Malhotra and Kiara Advani. Making one of their first major public appearances since welcoming parenthood, the couple radiated elegance.

• Kiara Advani stunned in a powder pink Masaba saree, reportedly valued at ₹1,30,000, paired with an iconic mini Kelly bag.
• Sidharth Malhotra complemented her perfectly in a sophisticated traditional ensemble, with the duo walking hand-in-hand to the delight of the shutterbugs.

Shahid Kapoor and Mira Rajput also added a touch of grace to the evening, with Mira opting for a sleek black silhouette that echoed the night’s theme of “understated luxury.”

Ranveer Singh: The Life of the Party

Fresh off the massive box-office success of his latest film, Dhurandhar: The Revenge, Ranveer Singh proved once again why he is the industry’s ultimate entertainer. Dressed in a sharp black bandhgala, Ranveer didn’t just walk the carpet—he owned the stage.

Viral clips from the event show the actor joining musical legends Shankar Mahadevan and Shreya Ghoshal for an impromptu performance of “Gallan Goodiyaan.” From dancing with dhol artists to leading the crowd in a high-energy celebration, Singh’s infectious energy was the highlight of the “Inside NMACC” experience.

Cricket Royalty: The Tendulkar Family’s Big Night

The sports world was represented by none other than Sachin Tendulkar, who arrived with his family. However, it was the newest addition to the family that caught everyone’s eye.

• Sara Tendulkar and her new sister-in-law, Saaniya Chandhok (who recently married Arjun Tendulkar in March 2026), made a splash in coordinated shimmering palazzo sets.
• The “nanad-bhabhi” duo’s synchronized fashion moment was a hit on social media, marking Saaniya’s official debut at an Ambani gala as part of the Tendulkar clan.

A Legacy of Art and Culture

The guest list read like a Who’s Who of Indian royalty:

• Salman Khan arrived in a classic grey suit.
• Vicky Kaushal, Sanjay Dutt, and Jackie Shroff represented the leading men of cinema.
• Kajol, Raveena Tandon, and Sonali Bendre brought timeless Bollywood glamour.
• AR Rahman and Javed Akhtar added intellectual and musical weight to the celebrations.

Since its inception in 2023, the NMACC has successfully bridged the gap between traditional Indian craftsmanship and global stage standards. As it enters its fourth year, the institution remains a vibrant ecosystem where, as Nita Ambani noted, “art, artists, and audiences unite to inspire.”
