The couple left Antilia, the Ambani family's sprawling residence, for a home of their own, despite having plenty of space in the 27-story skyscraper, which spans 400,000 square feet. Isha's brothers, Akash and Anant, continue to live there.
In an interview with Femina a year after the wedding, Isha's mother, Nita Ambani, admitted that it was difficult to hear her daughter say she was "going home" when leaving Antilia after a visit, according to the South China Morning Post.
Nita eventually came to accept that her daughter had a family of her own to care for.

The couple's new home, named Gulita, occupies a prime location in South Mumbai, offering sweeping views of the Arabian Sea and the Sea-Link bridge.
Spanning 50,000 square feet, the mansion was a wedding gift from Anand's parents, Ajay and Swati Piramal, who purchased the property from Hindustan Unilever for $62 million in 2012, according to India Times.
Designed by London-based engineering firm Eckersley O'Callaghan, Gulita draws inspiration from the shape and craftsmanship of a diamond.
Its name derives from "Gul," meaning flower, and is associated with beauty, sophistication and elegance.
Architecture platform Archidust describes the mansion as a lasting architectural statement, comparing its carefully crafted design to the process of shaping a diamond and emphasizing its combination of visual appeal and sentimental value.

The mansion underwent extensive renovations ahead of the couple's wedding. Its distinctive exterior features a glass facade decorated with three palm tree-shaped structures made of glazed steel, the tallest standing 11 meters high.
Created using 3D modeling technology, the structures complement the building's diamond-inspired architecture. Large glass walls offer uninterrupted sea views while allowing natural light to flood the interiors.
Gulita has five above-ground floors and three basement levels. The ground floor features an imposing entrance lobby leading to triple-height multipurpose spaces and circular study areas.
The first basement includes a lawn, an open-air water feature and double-height multipurpose rooms, while the two lower basement levels accommodate parking and service facilities.
The property also boasts a swimming pool, a prayer room and landscaped gardens, according to Hindustan Times.

Rather than embracing traditional opulence, Gulita favors contemporary minimalism, combining neutral tones, metallic finishes and understated lighting.
Its diamond-inspired theme extends indoors, most notably in a dedicated diamond room adorned with elaborate chandeliers and bespoke furniture.
Marble, natural stone, glass and metal feature throughout the residence, creating reflective surfaces that interact with changing light.
Carefully selected materials and finishes bring a sense of harmony to the mansion's expansive interiors.
Gulita is also reported to feature advanced smart-home technology, including energy-efficient lighting, automated climate control, water-saving and rainwater harvesting systems, and integrated security and home management features.

In Mumbai, where historic buildings stand alongside modern glass skyscrapers, Gulita represents a style of luxury residential architecture that emphasizes thoughtful design over overt displays of wealth.
The mansion also brings together international architectural influences and Indian cultural values.
Compared with Antilia, the Ambani family's towering residence, Gulita offers a more restrained interpretation of luxury, prioritizing architectural form and a closer connection to nature.
While Antilia is known for its monumental scale and height, Gulita distinguishes itself through its diamond-inspired design and minimalist interiors.
The two homes illustrate contrasting approaches to luxury living in India, with Gulita placing greater emphasis on craftsmanship, contemporary design and the integration of modern technology.
