From Priyanka Chopra Jonas to Zendaya, Gigi Hadid to Indian legend Shah Rukh Khan, the guest list was star-studded for the inauguration of the Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre. The first-of-its-kind art space for India opened last week in Mumbai with Met Gala-style red carpet opening events and after-parties attended by the who’s who of the Indian film industry and Hollywood.
With its three state-of-the-art theatres (a 2,000-seat Grand Theatre, a more intimate 250-guest Studio Theatre, and a platform for new talents called The Cube) and art exhibition spaces, the NMACC is considered the crown jewel of the Jio World Centre, which was unveiled one year ago at Mumbai’s new bustling commercial business hub, the Bandra Kurla Complex: ‘I feel art is one of the strongest forms of expression of any society. After the Covid lockdown, art united us, giving us such an insight on humans, especially the spiritual side of humans,’ says Nita Ambani, founder of Reliance Foundation, the philanthropic arm of India’s largest private sector company, Reliance Industries.
