Meet lesser-known Ambani family member, closely related to Mukesh Ambani, Nita Ambani, had love marriage after five years of dating…, her husband is…

Mukesh Ambani and his close-knit family members, such as wife Nita Ambani, daughter Isha Ambani, and sons Akash Ambani, Anant Ambani, often dominate headlines. In contrast, his sister, Deepti Salgaocar, remains largely out of the media spotlight and quietly lives in Goa. Despite her low-key presence, Deepti’s life has all the makings of a modern-day fairy tale, especially when it comes to her enduring love story with husband Dattaraj. But how did the duo meet? Well, go through this detailed story to know…

Their sweet love story began in the Usha Kiran, the city’s sole skyscraper at the time. After Vasudev Salgaocar, the head of the Salgaocar family, passed away, Dhirubhai Ambani stepped in as a guiding presence for several family members. Among them was Raj Salgaocar, who was close in age to Dhirubhai’s son Mukesh. Raj looked up to Dhirubhai as a mentor and often sought his counsel during important moments in his life.

As per the Style report(2020), it was love at first sight. Deepti and Raj tied the knot in 1983 after dating for over five years. While many tend to believe their relationship was driven by business interests, Raj Salgaocar offers a different perspective. According to a news report in Style, he emphasized that his marriage to Deepti was based on love, through and through.

While speaking to Mumbai-based daily DNA, Raj shared,” I met Deepti, we fell in love and told our families, who agreed [with the relationship] immediately.” He added, “It was the first wedding in her family, but the last wedding in mine, because I am the youngest of seven children.”

But their happily-ever-after didn’t come instantly — even with both families’ blessings. Though deeply in love and uniting two powerful business families, Deepti faced a major personal challenge: Raj wanted to move back to his hometown of Goa. This meant Deepti would have to leave behind her familiar life in Mumbai and start over in a completely new environment.

Dattaraj Salgaocar, also known as Raj, is one of the most successful businessman. He is the Managing Director of V.M. Salgaocar Group of Companies. Additionally, he is the owner of Goa’s prominent Salgaocar Football Club.
