New Delhi, June 22, 2026: In a spectacular convergence of India’s most influential spheres, the wedding celebration of Revati Sule, the granddaughter of Nationalist Congress Party (NCP-SP) patriarch Sharad Pawar, transformed Mumbai into a central hub of political, corporate, and entertainment royalty. Held on Saturday, June 20, 2026, at the Jio World Convention Centre, the high-profile union between Revati Sule and Nagpur-based industrialist Sarang Lakhani brought together bitter political rivals, corporate titans, and Bollywood megastars under one roof.
For a brief weekend, the intense daily battles of national politics and business competition were put on pause. The event served as a stark reminder of the unmatched political clout and cross-party goodwill still commanded by veteran statesman Sharad Pawar and his daughter, Member of Parliament Supriya Sule.
A Match of Prominent Lineages
The bride, Revati Sule, is an accomplished professional who holds a Master’s degree in Public Administration from the prestigious London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE). Her mother, Supriya Sule, is one of the leading faces of the opposition bloc.
The groom, Sarang Lakhani, is the Executive Director of the Vishwaraj Group, a major infrastructure firm based in Nagpur. Sarang, an MBA graduate from Columbia Business School, is the son of Arun Lakhani, the Chairman and Managing Director of the Vishwaraj Group, who was recently elected unopposed to the Maharashtra Legislative Council. Reports within local political circles suggest that the initial matchmaking between the families was warmly facilitated through mutual respect and mediation by senior political figures across lines, including Union Minister Nitin Gadkari and Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis.
When Political Rivals Share a Roof
What captured the national imagination was the sheer diversity of the political guest list. At a time when national politics is deeply polarized, the wedding reception successfully gathered leaders from entirely opposing ideological factions.
Representing the opposition, Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi arrived alongside Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge. They were joined by a cohort of prominent regional leaders, including:
- Bhagwant Mann (Chief Minister of Punjab)
- Akhilesh Yadav (Samajwadi Party Chief)
- Revanth Reddy (Chief Minister of Telangana)
- D.K. Shivakumar (Chief Minister/Deputy Chief Minister of Karnataka)
- Uddhav Thackeray and Sanjay Raut (Shiv Sena-UBT)
In a striking visual of political diplomacy, senior leaders of the ruling Mahayuti alliance in Maharashtra were also present to bless the couple. Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis attended the celebratory sangeet ceremony the night prior, while other top regional figures like Eknath Shinde, Praful Patel, and Pankaja Munde made appearances during the primary festivities.
Perhaps the most talked-about guest was Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) Chief Mohan Bhagwat. His presence, alongside staunch opposition critics like Rahul Gandhi and Akhilesh Yadav, highlighted the deeply personal, familial nature of Indian political relationships that often thrive behind closed doors.
Corporate Titans and Global Billionaires
The corporate world was equally well-represented, reflecting the Pawar family’s decades-long ties with India’s industrial backbone. Reliance Industries was represented in full elegance by Nita Ambani, who arrived with Radhika Merchant Ambani, the wife of Anant Ambani.
The Adani Group’s top brass was also in attendance, with billionaire Gautam Adani and his wife, Priti Adani, making a high-profile appearance. Adding to the elite business circle was Serum Institute of India’s Adar Poonawalla, alongside several other top bankers, real estate moguls, and venture capitalists from across Mumbai and Delhi.
Bollywood Glamour Steals the Show
No mega-wedding in Mumbai is complete without the magic of cinema, and the Sule-Lakhani celebrations delivered in spades. The pre-wedding sangeet had already set the internet ablaze when videos emerged of Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan taking the stage. Dressed in a sharp, modern black bandhgala, the “King of Bollywood” danced to his iconic hit song “Koi Mil Gaya” alongside the bride and groom, breaking into his signature arms-wide-open pose to the delight of the crowd.
The main wedding day saw an influx of legendary cinematic figures:
- Amitabh Bachchan, accompanied by his wife Jaya Bachchan and daughter Shweta Bachchan Nanda, arrived dressed in a pristine white kurta-pyjama paired with a traditional Kashmiri shawl.
- Ranbir Kapoor made a stylish solo appearance, turning heads in contemporary ethnic menswear.
- Farhan Akhtar, Karan Johar, Javed Akhtar, and actor-politician Ravi Kishan were also spotted interacting warmly with guests and the host family.
Popular singer Rahul Vaidya, who performed live during one of the evening events, later shared his excitement on social media, describing the night as “one for the books” given the room full of highly celebrated individuals brought together by the universal language of music.
A Rare Moment of Warmth and Diplomacy
Beyond the glitz, the luxury, and the sheer concentration of wealth and power, journalists and attendees noted the exceptionally warm atmosphere of the event. Sharad Pawar, a veteran of over five decades in public life, was seen personally greeting guests across the political spectrum with his characteristic warmth.
With the main Mumbai ceremonies concluded, the families are reportedly preparing to shift the celebrations to a wider base. A grand post-wedding reception is scheduled to take place in Pune on July 5, 2026, followed by a formal gathering in New Delhi later in the month.
In an era dominated by hyper-partisan public discourse, the wedding of Revati Sule and Sarang Lakhani stands as a testament to the fact that personal relationships, shared histories, and family milestones can still bridge the widest of divides in Indian public life.
