Nita Ambani had '2 important wishes' behind hosting Anant Ambani-Radhika Merchant's wedding festivities in Jamnagar

Gujarat’s Jamnagar is all decked up to welcome the VVIPs from across the world for the pre-wedding festivities of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant. Ahead of the festivities that will take place from March 1 to 3, Nita Ambani, the Reliance Foundation Chairperson and the mother of the groom Anant Amabni, shared the two wishes she had for her son’s wedding.

Reflecting on her love for arts and culture, Nita Ambani, in a video, said, “Throughout my life, I’ve been inspired by arts and culture. It has deeply moved me and I’m very passionate about it.”

Speaking further about her two wishes, she added, “When it came to my youngest son Anant’s wedding with Radhika, I had two important wishes. First, I wanted to celebrate our roots,” adding that “Gujarat is where we come from. It’s where Mukesh [Ambani] and his father built the refinery and I started my career by converting this arid and desert-like area into a lush green township and a vibrant community.” Nita, then, goes on to explain her another wish as she said, “Second, I wanted the celebration to be a tribute to our arts and culture and a reflection of our heritage and culture created by the hands, hearts and hard work of our talented creative minds.”
