In a video that has now emerged on social media, Nita Ambani was seen giving a warm speech for the Tendulkar family.
Nita Ambani’s speech
Nita Ambani, wife of Reliance Industries chairman Mukesh Ambani, began her speech by referring to her family’s bond with Sachin and Anjali Tendulkar as she welcomed guests to the Reliance township in Jamnagar.
“Namaskar everyone, welcome to Jamnagar,” she said. “Today, we have all gathered here in the same place where Anant and Radhika took their vows two years ago.
“Sachin and Anjali, you have always been family to us. And our hearts are so full as we share your happiness today.
“My dear Arjun, I have seen you grow up from a little boy at our school and now standing here, ready to begin the most beautiful partnership of your life.
“Saaniya, you have such a warm and positive energy around you. It’s wonderful getting to know you and see you both together. And may God bless your union forever,” said Nita Ambani.
Sachin Tendulkar’s close bond with the Ambanis
Sachin Tendulkar shares a close personal relationship with the Ambanis, particularly with Mukesh Ambani and Nita Ambani. Their association dates back decades, to the period when Tendulkar was at the peak of his international cricket career.
Tendulkar served as the icon player and later as a mentor to Mumbai Indians, the IPL team owned by Nita Ambani. His son Arjun Tendulkar was also part of the Mumbai Indians squad for multiple seasons and, as Nita Ambani mentioned in her speech, studied at the Ambani-owned Dhirubhai Ambani International School in Mumbai.
