Harish Salve, former solicitor general of India, weds in London; Nita Ambani, Lalit Modi attend private ceremony

Legal eagle and former Solicitor General of India, Harish Salve, has found love again. The 68-year-old exchanged wedding vows on Sunday in London.

News website India Today reported that the lawyer had made it official with a woman named Trina. The nuptials, a private affair, were attended by Nita Ambani, Lalit Modi, and Ujjwala Raut among others.

Sunil Mittal, LN Mittal, SP Lohia, and Gopi Hinduja were among the other prominent businessmen who attended the reception.


A video posted on Twitter shows the couple beaming as they exchange vows. The bride looks resplendent in a green gown while Salve is attired in a white suit.

"In the presence of our family & friends, I Trina, take you Harish, to be my wedded husband. To love and to cherish, for the rest of our lives together," said Trina, as she repeated her wedding vows.


Salve was previously married to Meenakshi for 38 years before their divorce in June 2020. The couple has two daughters Sakshi and Saaniya. Later that year, the high-profile lawyer found love with British artist Caroline Brossard and they exchanged vows in October 2020.

Salve has made headlines for his legal acumen over the decades. Some of his notable cases include his representation of Kulbhushan Jadhav, who faced a death sentence by a Pakistani military court on espionage charges. He charged a nominal fee of Rs 1 for representing Jadhav.

Salve's clientele includes some of India's leading corporate entities like Tata Group, Reliance Industries headed by Mukesh Ambani, and ITC Group.

He also played a pivotal role in the Krishna Godavari Basin gas dispute case against Anil Ambani's Reliance Natural Resources Ltd. Salve gained recognition for arguing the first anti-dumping case in India's Supreme Court.

In 2015, Salve took up the high-profile hit-and-run case involving Salman Khan, leading to the Bollywood star's acquittal of all charges related to the 2002 incident, a decision made by the Bombay High Court. He has also represented India in various cases before the International Court of Justice (ICJ)

Meanwhile, former IPL chairman Lalit Modi’s presence at Salve's wedding ceremony has stirred political controversy, drawing flak from opposition parties.

“Not that I care about sarkari BJP lawyer marrying a third time and then very conveniently waxing eloquent on behalf of Modi government on uniform marriage laws, polygamy etc… but what should concern everyone is the presence of a fugitive who is escaping Indian law as an invitee and celebrating Modi government’s favourite lawyer’s wedding," tweeted Shiv Sena MP Priyanka Chaturvedi criticising Modi’s presence at the event.


Modi, who lives in London, left India in 2010 amid investigations into alleged money-laundering and tax evasion.

According to a Free Press Journal report, Trina is a British woman of Afghan origin.
