Businessmen and brothers, Mukesh and Anil Ambani as well as their mother Kokilaben will get together for the first time in 15 years to celebrate Dhirubhai Ambani's 80th birth anniversary at their ancestral village of Chorwad.

Late Dhirubhai Ambani's wife, Kokilaben said that this shows that the brothers are still together. She was first to arrive at the village to manage the preparations for the event. Anil Ambani is expected to arrive on Tuesday morning while Mukesh will reach at noon on the day.

The gathering comes at a time when the two brothers are set to enter a business deal for the first time since the brothers divided their businesses in 2005. Mukesh's RIL will enter a deal with the Anil Ambani group to lease its telecom infrastructure to offer its telecom services in the coming year.

The program is spread over two days and will include a special puja at the temple of goddess Chorwadi on Tuesday evening and also a ceremony to inaugurate a memorial to Dhirubhai Ambani.

The Ambani brothers will also be accompanies by their wives Nita and Tina and sisters Dipti Salgaonkar and Neena Kothari along with other members of the family.

Dhirubhai died in 2002 and did not specify a will for the business empire he created in the country. Since then the brothers have divided and the country’s biggest business group and create separate companies. The brothers now appear ready to cooperate with each other in some sectors.
