If the editor of Bombay times, Mark Manuel, is to be believed then Arun Nayar may well end up being christened Mr. Arun Hurley.
And if we take the words penned down by the scribe to a level where the mind starts to clash with the vision, then we are sure to end up with a big blurred image of Arun Nayar’s financial standing.
Mark Manuel, editor of Bombay Times, is not in awe with the multi millionaire image of Arun Nayar. In his words:
No one has heard of his business in India. He is not known as a businessman. His claim to fame is marrying a British celebrity.
And if the man has doubts related to Arun Nayar’s credibility, it is not without a base. Arun Nayar is not listed in the Forbes List of Indian millionaires. Nayar’s software design company, DSS Software Solutions, which boasts an international clientele and a staff of hundreds has its headquarters in a building in Bombay owned by his father, and contains a handful of desks arranged in a converted and modest first-floor flat.
DSS Software Solutions is the venture which was thought to be the source of much of his wealth.
Arun Nayar’s Bombay abode is in a sea facing five-storey building, which provides shelter to his three generations, including his grandmother. A building with peeling plasters, crumbling outside walls and leaking flats, which is yet to recieve the honour of a decent repair job.
Before the lavish marriage got underway at Sudeley Castle in Gloucestershire last week, his own mother told a friend:
I can only say that Arun is not such a rich tycoon as the Press is making him out to be.
As per rumours doing rounds in Bombay, she had paid for much of the celebrations.
Arun Nayar, is believed to have inherited wealth from his split-up parents, on the other hand Liz is a self-made millionaire- worth an estimated £13million.
Try doing an online image search for Arun Nayar and you will end up getting a result well expected- 90% of the result show him with Liz Hurley.
The man whose wedding celebrations spanned two continents involving One English castle and three Indian palaces is yet to prove his credibility.
