We often hear about the wealth and influence of the Ambani family, especially after the grand ceremonies that the family hosted during their children's weddings. Now that the youngest kid in the family, Anant Ambani, is getting married to his sweetheart, Radhika Merchant, in July, let's have a look at how it all started.?The Ambanis now live in the famous 27-storey, 570-feet-tall, 400,000-square-foot mansion called ¡®Antilia¡¯ in Mumbai. We have seen the extravagant weddings of the Ambani children, but few know about the humble beginnings of Mukesh Ambani and Nita Dalal's wedding when they were not among the richest families in the world.
Here are some photos from the wedding ceremony of Mukesh and Nita Ambani, which took place in 1984.
Nita Ambani, born Nita Dalal, came from a middle-class Gujarati family in Mumbai. Her parents were Ravindrabhai Dalal and Purnima Dalal. She earned a bachelor's degree in commerce and pursued Bharatanatyam from an early age, eventually becoming a professional dancer.
