The story of how Mukesh Ambani met Nita Ambani is often recounted as a modern-day fairytale. It was Mukesh's father, the legendary industrialist Dhirubhai Ambani, who first saw Nita at a cultural event where she was performing Bharatnatyam. Struck by her grace and talent, Dhirubhai believed that Nita would be the perfect match for his son Mukesh. He personally called Nita and suggested a meeting, setting the stage for what would become one of India's most iconic love stories.

Wondering how then Mukesh came into the picture? Mukesh and Nita talked for a while, and one fine day while on a drive, Mukesh Ambani stopped the car at a traffic signal and turned to Nita, asking her, Will she marry him? Nita was surprised by the unpredictable direct proposal, and she hesitated.
Mukesh reportedly warned her he would not restart the vehicle unless she responded. The moment cemented their relationship, and the rest, as they say, is history.
The couple has always supported each other!

As a couple, Mukesh and Nita always supported each other through all ups and downs. Mukesh took over Reliance Industries and expanded it into a global conglomerate after Dhirubhai Ambani and Nita helped him by leading various initiatives in education, healthcare, and sports. Apart from being the chairperson and founder of the Reliance Foundation, Nita is also the chairperson of the Dhirubhai Ambani International School, and she also played a crucial role in setting up the Mumbai Indians IPL cricket team.
Nita Ambani is also a mother and grandmother:
