Books, B-Town & Brooches: Nita Ambani Unveils The Library at NMACC
Nita Ambani unveils The Library at NMACC, hosting a star-studded guest list including Kareena Kapoor, Saif Ali Khan, and Shahid Kapoor.
In a glittering fusion of literature, cinema, and high fashion, Nita Ambani, the Founder-Chairperson of Reliance Foundation, officially launched The Library at NMACC. The event, hosted at the Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre, was designed to be more than just a repository of books; it is envisioned as a vibrant hub for culture, deep conversations, and shared culinary experiences.
A Star-Studded Guest List
The evening saw a massive turnout from Bollywood's elite, turning the library launch into a high-profile social gathering. Among the prominent attendees were power couples Kareena Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan, as well as Shahid Kapoor and Mira Rajput. The guest list further extended to acclaimed actors like Vikrant Massey, Rajkummar Rao, and Sonali Kulkarni, alongside filmmaker Rajkumar Hirani and Vidhu Vinod Chopra.
Adding to the glamour were Kajol, Nysa Devgan, and fashion mogul Manish Malhotra. The event also drew the attention of digital personalities and socialites, including Kusha Kapila and Orry, while Kim Sharma and Soha Ali Khan were also spotted among the crowd.
Fashion Statements and Symbolic Jewelry
While the focus was on literature, the fashion was impossible to ignore. Isha Ambani made a chic appearance, blending traditional and modern styles by pairing a brocade top with denim jeans, keeping her look effortless with open hair and minimal accessories.
However, the most talked-about accessory of the night was worn by Nita Ambani herself. The NMACC Instagram handle highlighted her exquisite 'Soaring Spirit' brooch, a masterpiece crafted by the world-renowned jewelry artist Wallace Chan. According to the center, the brooch is inspired by the dragonfly—a creature that symbolizes freedom, dreams, and infinite possibilities—representing the themes of transformation and discovery.
Bringing Back the Joy of Reading
During her welcoming address, Nita Ambani shared the vision behind this new addition to the cultural center. She emphasized that the library is intended to be a sanctuary for books, dialogue, and good food.
"Library is a place for books, conversations and good food. We want to bring the joy of books and reading back in the young generation…."
By blending literature with culture, The Library at NMACC aims to foster a renewed interest in reading and create a communal space where people can connect through the power of the written word.
