Anant Ambani tied the knot with Radhika Merchant on July 12, 2024. Their wedding was attended by numerous prominent personalities from around the globe. Amid the viral photos and videos from the wedding festivities, a particular picture of Anant with his nanny, Lalita DSliva, garnered significant attention.
Lalita, a pediatric nurse who cared for Kareena and Saif’s sons, Taimur and Jeh, shared some unheard anecdotes about Anant, calling him a true copy of Dhirubhai Ambani.
Anant Ambani Preferred Money Over Gifts to Help Animals
In a recent interview with Hindi Rush, Lalita DSliva recounted how she cared for Anant, whom she considered her own child. She revealed that Anant never wanted gifts on his birthdays; instead, he requested money to buy and care for animals.
Lalita also shared that Anant has been deeply spiritual since the age of two. She recounted a time when Anant asked Kokilaben Ambani for a mandir (temple) on his study table, reflecting his strong spiritual inclination.
Lalita reminisced about Dhirubhai Ambani, describing him as having a strong personality but becoming childlike when with his grandchildren. She fondly recalled the joint family gatherings, including the Sunday lunches that everyone attended.
