Founder and chairperson of Reliance Foundation, Nita Ambani said, “When it came to my youngest son Anant's wedding with Radhika, I had two important wishes - first, I wanted to celebrate our roots."

Gujarat is where we come from, it's where Mukesh and his father built the refinery and I started my career by converting this arid and desert-like area into a lush green township and a vibrant community," ANI quoted Anant's mother as saying.
