Anand and Isha have been friends for long and their families have shared a strong friendship for over four decades.


Media reports said that after tying the nuptial knots in December the couple might visit Anand's ancestral Haveli in Rajasthan's Jhunjhunu district.


Reports said that the Piramal business empire started in 1920 when Ajay Piramal's grandfather and Anand's great grandfather Seth Piramal Chaturbhuj Makharia came to Jhunjhunu's Bagar town after the end of first world war.


The Piramal Haveli is currently operated by Neemrana Group. The website says that the Haveli was built in “1928 with a large open garden and two pillared courtyards painted with colourful kitsch frescoes of flying angels, airplanes, and gods in motor cars”.


Seth Piramal had built the gate of the village to welcome the Maharaja of Jaipur on elephant back.


The Neemrana website says that Seth Piramal Chaturbhuj Makharia's family originated from Makhar village and had migrated to Baggar. The family's textile business was founded in 1934.
