A Mumbai Indians joke cracked by the head boy of the DAIS' 2026 graduating class left the entire auditorium, including Nita Ambani, laughing.
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 added, “But if there is one thing this franchise has taught all of us, it’s that you never forget who you are. You never forget your legacy and you never forget the people standing in your corner.”
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.
The institution also highlighted the future paths of its graduates, noting that a significant number have already been admitted to prestigious colleges and universities worldwide.
