London:
Angad Paul, the youngest son of NRI (Non-Residential Indian) industrialist Lord Swraj Paul, tied the knot with Michelle, a solicitor, at a simple ceremony at an artificially erected conservatory in London Zoo last night (Oct 9, 2004).
The wedding, attended by family members and close friends, was performed as per Hindu and Jewish traditions.
Thirty-four-year-old Angad, who is the Chief Executive of the family-owned Caparo Group and its investments in India, has also earned a name in the film industry.
He was the executive producer of 'Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels', 'Snatch' and 'School for Seduction'.
Angad's forthcoming productions include 'Rang De Basanti' with Bollywood star Aamir Khan.
Prominent among those present at the wedding were Sarah Brown, wife of Chancellor of the Exchequer Gordon Brown along with her son John, Indian industrialists Subrato Roy, head of the Sahara group and his wife, K K Birla and his family, leading hotelier Lalit Suri and his wife and Bollywood actor Arjun Rampal along with wife Mehr Jessia.
The conservatory was put up in the grounds encompassing the statue of Ambika, the daughter of Lord Paul, who died of leukaemia in 1968.
"We decided to celebrate the wedding near Ambika's statue so that we have her presence on such a great family occasion," Lord Paul, who is also British Ambassador for Overseas Business, said adding "it means a lot to us".
