An idyllic champagne sundowner with an eco-conscious soul, curated by Viresh Chhabra and the resplendent Nisha JamVwal
A New Kind of Luxe
In a city that thrives on excess, Forest Hills at Tala brought a refreshing breath of elegance, ethics, and effervescent glamour. Hosted by visionary real estate entrepreneur Viresh Chhabra and the perennially gorgeous luxury consultant and celebrity columnist Nisha JamVwal, the Sunday brunch unfolded as one of Mumbai’s most flamboyant and unforgettable affairs in recent memory. Making waves across the city’s social radar, the event was reported for it’s high-style by TheGlitz, Mumbai’s ultimate arbiter of luxe living and sparkling soirées.
It began as a classic mid-morning brunch and seamlessly transformed into a sunset-drenched champagne sundowner, spilling into twilight by 8 PM. But beyond the clinking flutes and curated cuisine, the event bore the soul of a movement, ushering in a new definition of luxury: thoughtful, responsible, and delightfully serene.
The Forest Hills Vision
Nestled amid the verdant tapestry of Tala’s tranquil landscape, Forest Hills is an ode to sustainability, woven meticulously into nature’s rhythm. I know… since I’ve been there and it’s nothing short of a green paradise. Guests were treated to an exclusive sneak peek of a film by Natasha Baid, showcasing the lush, thoughtfully designed estate, where eco-conscious living meets bespoke design.
Standing beside the radiant Nisha JamVwal, Viresh Chhabra unveiled plans close to his heart: the donation of land within the Forest Hills estate to build an animal rescue shelter, and a reforestation drive aiming to plant 100,000 trees in the surrounding region. The announcement, made by charismatic actor Neil Nitin Mukesh, was met with thunderous applause. It was a defining moment, blending real estate with compassion, luxury with legacy.
Style, Substance, and Sustainability
The guest list read like a who’s who of Mumbai’s elite: corporate magnates, celebrated artists, respected lawyers, and glamorous socialites. Anu Malik with Anju Malik, the dynamic Niranjan Hiranandani, ad maverick Prahlad Kakkar, and celebrated lawyer Mrunalini Deshmukh were just a few among the star-studded attendees.
A bevy of film personalities including Raman Lamba, Mahesh Thakker, and the ever-graceful Varsha Usgaonkar, rubbed shoulders with couturiers Pria Kataria Puri and Esha Amin, as well as the elegant Krisha Lulla and wellness expert Nawaz Singhania. Philanthropist Noopur Desai, singer Penaz Meswani, and a glowing array of Mumbai’s most vibrant personalities immersed themselves in the lavish ambiance.
The gourmet spread was nothing short of an epicurean opera featuring live kitchens, overflowing grazing tables, and a never-ending buffet designed to tantalize even the most refined palate. Each detail of the afternoon was artfully curated, resonating with the refined taste that the Chhabra legacy, rooted in Dubai’s sophisticated luxury ethos, has come to be known for, and elevated further by Nisha JamVwal, whose innate elegance and warmth made her the most gracious and unforgettable hostess.
The Glam ‘Green’ Goddess: Nisha JamVwal
One could hardly miss the ravishing Nisha JamVwal, resplendent in effortless elegance and her signature joie de vivre. With a charisma that commands the room and a passion for the planet that moves hearts, Nisha served not only as co-host but as a beacon of the mindful-living philosophy the event championed.
Her collaboration with Viresh Chhabra is not just built on shared aesthetic sensibilities but on a deep devotion to causes that matter. As an environmental activist, tastemaker, and social savant, Nisha infused the brunch with meaning, beauty, and an unforgettable sense of purpose.
Legacy with Heart
It’s not often that a brunch transcends the borders of indulgence to become a movement. But then again, Forest Hills at Tala isn’t your typical destination. With Ved Chhabra’s enduring values guiding the estate’s vision, rooted in purpose, elegance, and empathy, the Forest Hills experience is reshaping the way India thinks about luxury living.
And so it did at this very special soiree… as dusk settled and flutes of bubbly gave way to deeper conversations, it became clear: this was more than just a glamorous brunch. It was the dawning of a lifestyle where beauty, benevolence, and balance coexist.
And if the success of this sundown affair is anything to go by, Forest Hills at Tala is definitely not just a mere destination but a beacon and harbinger of sustainability and a graceful return to nature-infused living.
