Let’s start with the jewellery – because this wasn’t just an accessory, it was a moment.
Sudha Reddy, director at Megha Engineering and Infrastructures Limited and founder of the Sudha Reddy Foundation, stepped out wearing a necklace from her personal collection valued at over $15 million or INR 142 crore.
At the centre of it all was a jaw-dropping 550-carat tanzanite pendant, dramatically titled the “Queen of Merelani.” The deep violet-blue stone, set in a vintage-inspired Victorian style, was surrounded by large rose-cut diamonds, adding depth and old-world drama.
In a room full of borrowed diamonds and brand placements, this felt different. Personal. Powerful. And impossible to ignore.
