At his pre-wedding event, Anant Ambani thanked his parents Mukesh Ambani and Nita Ambani for supporting him and for always standing by him. Mukesh Ambani, clearly moved by the speech, teared up.
In his speech, Anant also referred to the way his parents have supported him as he dealt with his health problems, “I have faced many health crises since childhood but my father and mother have never let me feel that I have suffered.”
Watch the speech here:
“My father and mother have always stood by me, and they have made me feel that if I think (about doing something), I'll do it. That is how much my father and mother mean to me and I will be eternally grateful.”Anant Ambani
He also talked about his bride-to-be Radhika Merchant and said, “I am 100 percent the lucky one; there is no doubt about that. I also don't know how I got Radhika so I am definitely the luckiest here. Every day, I fall more and more in love.”
He further expressed his gratitude for his mother for planning the three-day pre-wedding festivities, “Thank you mom for all that you’ve done. All this is created by my mother and no one else. My mother has gone all out… For four months she has worked, I think, for 18-19 hours a day. I am extremely grateful to mom and thank you so much."
“I hope everyone is going to enjoy the coming three days and I would like to thank my mother, my father, my sister, my brother, my sister-in-law, and my brother-in-law for making this event so memorable for me and Radhika. I think my family has gone all out to make us feel special. Everyone has been sleeping for less than three hours a day for the last two to three months and I'm so happy I can share this joy with everyone out here."Anant Ambani
