Meanwhile, Anant recalled the time he shared his decision to go on a spiritual walk with his father and Chairman of RIL, Mukesh Ambani. “When I told my father (Mukesh Ambani) that I wanted to do the walk, he gave me a lot of power, and I want to express my gratitude to him," he said.
During a conversation with News18, “When I told my father (Mukesh Ambani) that I wanted to do the walk, he gave me a lot of power, and I want to express my gratitude to him," said Anant Ambani.
“With God’s grace and blessing, the journey of 10 days will end today on the occasion of Ram Navami. We only want God to keep everyone happy, satisfied and healthy. Although the journey was supposed to end after a day or two, we walked some extra miles in the last two to three days which made it possible for us to reach here on the occasion of Ram Navami," he said.
The RIL non-executive director was chanting the Hanuman Chalisa, Sunderkand, and the Devi Stotra on his way to Dwarka. During his journey, he also received love and warmth from local communities.
