Mukesh Ambani Love Story: If you want to know Nita and Mukesh Ambani love story, then we have to look back at an old interview with celebrity host Simi Garewal, which has brought attention to their relationship.
Mukesh Dhirubhai Ambani, born on 19 April 1957, is an Indian billionaire businessman, currently serving as the chairman and managing director of Reliance Industries, India’s most valuable company by market value.
He holds the title of the richest person in Asia.
In the interview, the Reliance Industries chairman revealed that he proposed marriage to her while stuck in a traffic jam on Mumbai’s Pedder Road.
The couple had been courting for three weeks, and in a moment of epiphany, Mukesh Ambani said he realized she was the one for him.
“Nita was really the first girl I had seen,” the industrialist told Garewal. “I had pretty much made up my mind that this is it, this is my life partner.
So once when we were driving down Peddar Road, it occurred to me out of the blue, and I said, ‘Nita, will you marry me? Just say yes or no now.'”
Nita Ambani said she hesitated and asked him to drive because they were worsening the traffic jam.
“People were shouting, and cars were blowing horns, and I said ‘Mukesh, move on.’ And he said, ‘Tell me yes or no. I shall not move the car.'”
Mukesh Ambani had to ask her for a third time before she finally accepted his proposal.
Later, Nita Ambani asked her to-be-husband what he would have done if she had rejected his offer. “‘Would you have asked me to get out of the car then and there and driven off?'” Mukesh Ambani recollected her as saying.
“I said, ‘No, I would have dropped you off home, and we would have remained friends.'”
Mukesh and Nita Ambani got married in 1985 and have three children: Akash, Isha, and Anant Ambani.
