In the same conversation, Nita Ambani shared her feelings as a mother at the wedding celebrations. She recalled how her son, Anant, has struggled against obesity for a significant part of his life.

"My son Anant has been fighting obesity from a very young age because of his asthma, and he went up on a stage as a confident bridegroom. He said, 'Mom, it's not what I am physically. It's what my heart is. And I saw him holding his life partner's hand, and I think that's what was the most touching feeling."
