Sibling Revelry

Builder Avinash Bhosale’s family is in a tizzy of celebrations. And the mood is infectious. Bhosale’s son Amit and daughter Swapnali will be tying the knot one after the other in lavish ceremonies,truly Bhosale style! It is not for nothing that Bhosale is known as Pune’s ‘king of good times’ and like all of his previous parties,the guest list will include Pune’s bigwigs as well as some of the country’s leading politicos.

Amit got engaged to Shweta Jain,daughter of Kapil Jain (Vardhman Group),in October at the Westin,and guests point out that they are made for each other. Amit smiles,“I just knew she was the one for me. Though we have spent about eight months getting to know each other thereby giving ourselves ample time to decide.” Shweta is from Ludhiana and the groom-to-be will be heading there on November 20 for a cocktail function. “It’s a function from the girl’s side and the only one being held in Ludhiana,” he reveals. Their sangeet ceremony will be held in Pune on December 3 at their residence,which is nothing less than a palace! And,after the wedding ceremony in Delhi on December 7,a grand reception will be held at Amanora on December 11.

To add to the happiness enveloping their home,Swapnali’s engagement to Nakul Vengsarkar,the architect son of former Indian skipper Dilip Vengsarkar,will be held at their residence on November 25. A source close to the family says,“The family is indeed very happy. The celebrations will continue till February when Swapnali will tie the knot. It has all just happened so fast and the ceremonies will take place in quick succession. In fact,Swapnali’s engagement to Nakul was announced at Amit’s engagement.”

Swapnali and Nakul will have a weekend wedding at Umaid Bhavan in Jodhpur. This dream wedding,in a gorgeous setting,will be held on February 7,but will be preceded by functions on February 5 and 6 at Umaid Bhavan itself. “Later,on February 12,the reception will be held in Mumbai,” Amit reveals.
