Moment that touched Nita Ambani’s heart
Amin then asked about a moment from her youngest son’s wedding that touched her heart. In response, she talked about Anant Ambani’s struggles with obesity and something he said on the matter before going up the stage during his wedding.
“My son Anant has been fighting obesity from a very young age because of his asthma and he went up on a stage as a confident bridegroom, he told me ‘Mom, it’s not what I am physically. It’s what my heart is’. And I saw him holding his life partner’s hand, I think that’s what was the most touching feeling,” Nita Ambani said.
