Anant Ambani-Radhika Merchant love story: Mukesh Ambani’s bahu Radhika Merchant had issues with Anant due to…, she used to ‘complain’ over his…

Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant’s wedding was the event of 2024. The extravagant Ambani wedding event became a spotlight attention with all the big celebs being a part of it and even national and international bureaucrats, international popular figures such as Kim Kardashian walking the red carpet. Anant, the youngest son of Mukesh and Nita Ambani, and a director at Jio Platforms and Reliance Retail Ventures, celebrated his union with Radhika in Mumbai’s Jio World Centre in Mumbai’s Bandra Kurla Complex. Now, it is soon going to be a year as Anant and Radhika’s wedding marks a year. While on the surface of it, the wedding seemed perfect, but just like other couples, even they had their ups and downs. And just like that, in an interview, Anant opened up that Radhika often complains to him about being sidelined.

While Anant and Radhika have known each other for years and have moved in the same social circle, there were stages when the duo had some differences. Anant has always been extremely dedicated to his work, especially Vantara, an ambitious initiative focused on animal rescue and care. At one point, Anant shared that he worked 15–16 hours a day, balancing his time between Vantara and other commitments, which left Radhika feeling “sidelined.”

Speaking in an interview with CNBC-TV18, Anant shared, “I’ve always believed in giving my all to what I care about. Vantara is close to my heart, so I dedicate at least one and a half hours daily to it. The rest of the time—about 14 hours—I spend supporting my father and our ventures. So, yes, I was working close to 15 hours every day. Back then, Radhika would often complain about how little time we had together.”

Anant, in a heartfelt interview with The Times of India, revealed his love for animals. He shared how his parents played an important role in teaching him how to care for animals deeply and how caring for them brings blessings and good karma. “Since childhood, I’ve been around animals. My parents always said that helping the voiceless is a great act of kindness. In our Hindu tradition, even Lord Ram cared for Jatayu and helped a little squirrel—and both returned their blessings in their own ways,” he said.

Meanwhile, coming back to Anant’s wedding and the festivities, the couple threw three major pre-wedding festivities which witnessed the presence of many Bollywood celebs. Finally, the couple tied the knot on 12 July 2024.
