    NEW DELHI: Reliance Industries Chairman Mukesh Ambani took the day off from his busy schedule to seek blessings for his daughter Isha who is tying the knot with the Piramal scion, Anand, next month.

    The billionaire took a special flight early in the morning from Mumbai for his first visit to the Sri Venkateswara Temple, Tirupati, Tirumala in Andhra Pradesh.


    After offering prayers and placing the invitation at the deity's feet, Ambani, along with his younger son Anant, travelled to the Guruvayoor temple in Kerala via his private chopper. He spent 15 minutes at the temple and offered his daughter's wedding card to the deity.
