Everything about the Ambanis, in fact, was a good magazine story 'The young couple's courtship had been a stormy one, ready - made for the Bombay showbiz magazines. The bride, Tina Munim, was a girl with a past. She had been a film starlet, featuring in several of the Hindi language films churned out by the hundreds every year in Bollywood most including improbable violence, song and dance routines, and long sequences with the female leads in wet, clingy clothes. Before meeting Anil, Tina had a heavy, well-publicized affair with a much older actor(Rajesh Khanna). The groom, Anil, was the tear away one of the two Ambani boys. His parents had frowned on the match. Bombay's magnates usually tried to arrange matches that cemented alliances with other powerful business or political families. This one was not arranged, nor did it bring any more than certain popularity. Hired assailants had been sent with acid and knives to scar Tina's face, so went the gossip(apocryphal: Tina's face turned out to be flawless). Anil had threatened suicide if he could not marry Tina, went another rumour.Finally, the parents had agreed.
