For Reliance Foundation Chairperson Nita Ambani, arts and culture are an inalienable part of her life. As Gujarat’s Jamnagar rolls out the red carpet for VVIPs from across the world for the pre-wedding festivities of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant, Nita Ambani shared the two wishes she had for her son’s wedding.

In a video, Nita Ambani said: “Throughout my life, I’ve been inspired by arts and culture. It has deeply moved me and I’m very passionate about it."

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. Jamnagar holds a special place in our hearts and has a profound significance. 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. 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."
