The move to Gulita marked a significant transition for Isha Ambani, who previously resided in her family’s famous 27-story Antilia, widely regarded as the most expensive private home in the world. In an interview with a year after the wedding, Isha’s mother shared the bittersweet moment of adjustment when Isha first referred to Gulita as “going home.”
