A young multi-millionaire property tycoon has mysteriously died just eight weeks after getting married in a lavish Sikh ceremony.
Vivek Chadha, 33, enjoyed close links to Conservative Party grandees and ran the multi-million-pound Nine Group, which had extensive hotel and property interests.
He collapsed at a central London address in the early hours of Sunday morning, just hours after being spotted partying at the exclusive Annabel’s night club on Saturday night.
Only two months ago, Mr Chadha married Stuttee Chaddha, 29, in a glamorous ceremony at a five-star hotel in the capital that culminated in a week of festivities.
Speaking exclusively to MailOnline, his grieving widow sobbed: ‘There are no words to describe what has happened. I’m in shock and still trying to make sense of it.
‘We only got married eight weeks ago and it was beautiful. Now I’m having to deal with the loss of the love of my life. I’m stunned and heartbroken.’
There is likely to be a post-mortem to establish the causes of Mr Chadha’s death, given his age and that he did not appear to have any known underlying health issues but sources close to him indicated that it was from natural causes.
The source added: ‘He did not die at his central London address but was at another location when it happened. We don’t know the full facts yet and are waiting to establish what exactly occurred.’
Accounts from Companies House up to December 31, 2019 reveal that his business, Nine Estates Limited, made £2.5million in revenue over the previous two years, with a £1.3million gross profit.
Stuttee was being consoled by dozens of relatives and Mr Chadha’s parents, Gursharan, 61 and Jasbir, 58 at their luxurious country home in Iver, Berkshire.
Jasbir cried: ‘We are in total shock and it’s too early for us to say anything about Vivek and his achievements. There will come a time when we will pay tribute to him but at the moment, it’s too early for us. We are in too much pain.’
Friends revealed that the family has still not been informed as to the exact reasons for Mr Chadha’s death, but one claimed that initial reports indicated that it was the result of a heart attack which is believed to have occurred at his central London residence.
Mr Chadha divided his time between the family home in Berkshire and London.
He was a regular visitor to Conservative Party functions, rubbing shoulders with the likes of former Prime Ministers David Cameron and Theresa May.
In 2015, he donated £100,000 for a Mahatma Gandhi statute in Parliament Square, an initiative that was backed by William Hauge and George Osborne.
In 2017, Mr Chadha won the ‘Rising Star’ award at the Young Entrepreneur of the Year awards in recognition of his work.
After graduating with a degree in civil engineering in 2010, he founded the Nine Group with his father in 2012, helping to establish it as one of the largest private hotel companies in the UK.
It runs 18 hotels across the country and employs more than 800 people as well as having commercial and residential investments.
