Mukesh Ambani-Nita Ambani’s son Anant Ambani on his…, ‘Radhika complains a lot…’

When work-life balance has become the buzzword of our times, Anant Ambani stands out for his complete commitment to his duties. His 15-16 hours long working days sound plenty for most people, but for him, it reflects passion, legacy, and the values that are ingrained in him, especially to the extent he feels for the city of Jamnagar. However, Anant’s commitment towards his work became a cause of worry for Radhika Merchant.

Mukesh Ambani’s and Nita Ambani’s youngest son Anant Ambani, has always had a strong emotional connection with Jamnagar, Gujarat. Being his grandparents birth place, it holds immense sentiments for the Ambani family, especially for Anant. Jamnagar was the starting point of his grandfather Dhirubhai Ambani’s empire. With time, this association developed into a serious commitment as Anant started giving most of his time to a special initiative named Vantara, which deals with animal rescue and rehabilitation.

In an interview, Anant revealed that his day involves approximately 1.5 hours spent on Vantara, with the rest 14 hours spent working with his father, Mukesh Ambani. He confesses that no matter how hard it gets, he never misses these rituals and considers Jamnagar his home. “Whenever I am given a holiday, Radhika complains a lot,” Anant disclosed openly, “but now she enjoys it too. She also comes to tend to the animals. Radhika is a wonderful support, she’s also involved.”

Their romance started in the hush-hush and later came into the public eye. Rumours about their relationship first surfaced in 2018 when a photo of the duo went viral. Though they did not confirm anything at the time, Radhika was soon seen attending Isha Ambani’s wedding festivities, even walking under the phoolon ka chadar with the bride. Her regular presence at Ambani family events—including Akash Ambani’s wedding and later his son’s birthday- further hinted at a deepening bond.

Despite the pressure Anant’s job demands, there is no doubt that the two have struck a balance. Radhika, who was once complaining about Anant’s long working hours, slowly came to support and engage in his interests. Her journey from having complaints to getting involved in Anant’s interests speaks a lot about their bond, which has evolved over the years.

The couple’s wedding saga in 2024 was nothing short of a national event, and today their bond is stronger than before. The mutual respect, shared goals, and understanding between the duo stand as the real testament of their relationship, and it portrays what healthy and balanced relationships look like.
