While graduation ceremonies are typically known for sombre speeches and standard advice for the future, a student at Dhirubhai Ambani International (DAIS) School decided to infuse some major IPL energy into the proceedings. Stepping up to the podium, the graduate delivered a witty punchline targeting the iconic Mumbai Indians franchise. Far from being offended by the unscripted dig, a visibly delighted Nita Ambani was seen laughing out loud.

While talking about the future, he said, “Just like our beloved Mumbai Indians (MI), there will be tough seasons.” At this point, the whole auditorium erupted into laughter.

For a moment, the camera panned to Nita Ambani, who was seen covering her face and laughing. Amid the giggles and the cheer, the head boy continued, “Seasons where nothing seems to go right, where the results do not reflect the effort, where you question everything.”

He continued his speech while mentioning the MI motto. “Always remember Duniya Hila Denge Hum.” Nita Ambani instantly reacted by clapping, a smile on her face.

The rest of the video captured speeches from various dignitaries, including the founder and chairperson of the Dhirubhai Ambani International School, Nita Ambani, and the chief guest, PV Sindhu.
