Hello! Travels to nairobi to meet africa’s sterling businessman & hotelier hooman ehsani and his beautiful wife karishma, as they start their journey together
The African setting has a way of leaving indelible imprints. In a pristine clearing in the midst of the Karura Forest in Nairobi, a group of Masai Warriors is singing a soulful melody – the beads and medals on their glistening chests rock back and forth in rhythmic synchronicity as the Masais sway their bodies to the sound of their own music. At the moment when Hooman Ehsani arrives with his just-wedded wife Karishma Ehsani, it seems as though the Gods are heralding in auspicious prophesies through the voice of the tribal warriors. This is a very special union. The contrast of the Masais in the forest, juxtaposed with a cosmopolitan couple living the heady consequence of matrimony fuses beautifully – creating a spectacle of the raw and the esoteric that slowly gravitate towards each other, blurring the lines of division and merging into a cohesive picture of visual magic.
Prahlad Singh Grewal would have been a proud man. His maternal grand-daughter Karishma has not only done the family proud with her professional achievements working with the UN, but has chosen well. Hooman Ehsani, owner of Tribe Hotel and one of Africa’s prominent young businessmen, comes from illustrious stock. His family belongs to the Baha’i sect that finds its origins in Iran. Born in Teheran, Iran, Hooman moved to Kenya as a young boy with his family where his father Hamed Ehsani set up a business in retail and hospitality. The business now includes the Village Market shopping center, one of the largest in East Africa with over 150 outlets. Hooman’s mother Faranak is an aesthete and curator and is responsible for over 800 works of art sourced from around the continent, that are displayed at the Tribe Hotel.
