Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant’s extravagant wedding became a global spectacle, celebrated for its grandeur but also drawing criticism for its opulence. Addressing the backlash, Nita Ambani recently opened up in an interview with Bloomberg’s Haslinda Amin, offering a heartfelt perspective on the event.
When questioned about the lavishness, Nita Ambani emphasized that the wedding was about showcasing India’s rich traditions, heritage, and culture on the world stage. She expressed her deep-rooted love for Indian customs, stating that every aspect of the wedding reflected the country’s legacy.
Beyond the grandeur, the wedding also had emotional moments. Nita Ambani recalled a touching exchange with her son Anant, who has battled obesity due to asthma. Just before stepping onto the stage, he reassured her, saying, “Mom, it’s not what I am physically. It’s what my heart is.” Seeing him confidently hold Radhika’s hand was a deeply emotional moment for her.
She also spoke about the future of the Ambani legacy, highlighting how Akash, Isha, and Anant have taken on key roles in the family empire, each carving their own path.
While the wedding dazzled with its scale, Nita Ambani’s words reveal the deeper meaning behind it a celebration of love, tradition, and resilience.
