In an era where work-life balance dominates conversations around modern living, Anant Ambani has charted a different path. Known for clocking in 15 to 16-hour workdays, the youngest son of Mukesh and Nita Ambani is driven not by obligation but by legacy, emotion, and an unwavering commitment to his roots,particularly his deep connection with Jamnagar, Gujarat. Jamnagar, the birthplace of his grandparents and the starting point of Dhirubhai Ambani’s industrial journey, holds profound emotional value for Anant. Over time, this bond transformed into an active mission through Vantara, an ambitious animal rescue and rehabilitation initiative that Anant holds close to his heart.

In a recent candid interview, Anant revealed the structure of his long workdays: approximately 1.5 hours are devoted to Vantara, while the remaining 14 hours are spent alongside his father, Mukesh Ambani, working on various projects. Despite the demanding routine, Anant calls Jamnagar his home and admits he never misses his daily schedule, regardless of how intense things get. But such commitment hasn’t come without concern. Initially, fiancée Radhika Merchant found it difficult to cope with Anant’s grueling work routine. “Whenever I’m given a holiday, Radhika complains a lot,” Anant shared, smiling. “But now she enjoys it too. She also comes to tend to the animals. Radhika is a wonderful support, she’s involved as well.”

Their relationship, once kept away from the public eye, began surfacing around 2018 when a photo of the couple went viral. Although they stayed quiet then, Radhika’s steady presence at Ambani family events,especially Isha Ambani’s wedding, where she walked under the phoolon ka chadar with the bride,sparked further speculation. She soon became a familiar face at family functions, including Akash Ambani’s wedding and his son’s birthday celebrations.

Over time, Radhika not only accepted Anant’s demanding schedule but also embraced it. Her transformation,from voicing concern over his long hours to actively supporting his causes,speaks volumes about the strength of their partnership. Their grand wedding in 2024 was a celebration of more than just love, it symbolized a shared journey marked by mutual understanding, emotional depth, and unwavering respect. Together, Anant and Radhika reflect what a modern yet grounded relationship can look like, rooted in legacy but evolving with shared purpose.
