In an interview, Anant Ambani opened up about his and his fiancee, Radhika Merchant's passion for animals and revealed whether she feels bad when he devotes a lot of time to his work.
Mukesh Ambani and Nita Ambani's younger son, Anant Ambani, is all set to begin his forever journey with his ladylove, Radhika Merchant. The couple will reportedly tie the knot on July 12, 2024. Anant and Radhika's pre-wedding ceremonies will take place in Jamnagar, Gujarat, starting from March 1, 2024, and will extend till April 2024. Ahead of that, Anant has taken up the responsibility to launch the world’s largest zoo and animal rescue and rehabilitation centre in India.
On February 26, 2024, Reliance Industries and Reliance Foundation announced the launch of the programme, Vantara. The umbrella initiative aims to rescue, treat, and rehabilitate injured and rescued animals, both in India and abroad. During the event, Anant was asked if his fiancee, Radhika Merchant, feels bad when he spends so much time with animals. To this, the businessman shared that he already devotes 8-12 hours to his work every day and added that Radhika loves animals just like him. He said:
"Dekhiye mera din me aisa hota hai ki mai ek se do ghanta pashuon ke saath rehta hun. Jaise maine kaha ki mere papa ke saath kaam bhi karta padta hai. Mere saath jo team hai, lag bhag 3000 colleagues hain humare sath, to hume saath me rehna padta hai. 8-12 ghante kaam bhi hota hai. But Radhika me ek cheez hai ki wo bhi mere jaise jaanwar se prem karti hai."

Anant Ambani further shared that Radhika is also very passionate about animals. Talking about the same, he shared that he and Radhika will work together after their marriage, and it will become easier for him to manage things. He also revealed that both of them rush to the scene when they get calls for emergency surgeries of rescued animals even at 4 am. He said:
"Abhi to shaadi hone ke bad mere liye bahut saral ho jayega ki wo bhi aakar meri madad karengi. Agar aap haathi ka naam lo, wo bahut saare haathi ko pehchante hain. Hume jab raat ko 4-5 baje phone aata hai ki emergency surgery karna hai, to hum dono daudh ke jaate hain or mai bhagwan se bas yahi dua karta hu ki wo papa mummy hum sabko shakti de ki hum or ye kar sake. Jo bhi bhagwan ki ichha me hai wo hoga."
