Anil Ambani and Tina Munim: First meeting

Even though the name "Ambani" is well known around the world, Bollywood actress Tina Munim had never heard of it before she met Anil Ambani. Both of them come from Gujarati families, but whereas Tina's is unconventional, Anil's is a touch more traditional.

Anil and Tina had a difficult time making the transition from being complete strangers to a happy married couple. Tina and Anil initially met at a wedding. However, he said that he had no "love at first sight" type of emotion. Anil was actually more interested in Tina's saree's colour selection.

He claimed that it was Tina's black saree because no one else at the wedding ceremony was wearing this shade. Following that, they met in Philadelphia. Anil asked Tina out after being introduced to her by a third party. Despite Tina rejecting Anil's offer, their story did not come to a close there.
