'Akash was arguing with..., Mukesh Ambani asked him to say...', how Mukesh Ambani and Nita Ambani raised ‘disciplined' kids in a billionaire household
The Ambani Family: One of the world's richest men, and India's wealthiest, Mukesh Ambani and his family are always in the limelight for their business moves, their extravagant lifestyle, or even their style of dressing. The family has enormous wealth — they travel in luxury cars and private planes and throw the most happening parties — but we have not seen them misbehaving with anyone. Mukesh and Nita Ambani are always seen talking politely with everyone, and they have raised their kids with the same humility and middle-class values. What Did Nita Ambani Reveal About Her Family?
During a conversation with Simi Garewal on her chat show, Rendezvous with Simi Garewal, Nita Ambani once revealed how she and Mukesh Ambani raised their kids with humility. She recalled an indent when their her elder son Akash was arguing with the watchman and Mukesh Ambani saw him shouting at the guard. According to Nita, Her husband immediately reached Akash and scolded him for his bad behaviour. Ambani even asked his elder son to apologise form the security guard. What Steps Did Nita Ambani Take To Keep Her Children Grounded?
Nita Ambani revealed that she some hard steps to keep her three kids grounded. In an old interview with the Hindustan Times, the wife of India's richest man said that she even makes her kids travel in public transportation.
'My parents used to stay at Santacruz, and I would take the kids to Churchgate and board a train from there. My mom comes from Ahmedabad, and she used to take them there on the Gujarat Mail train. So they have travelled by local transport, etc. I think it's important to keep the children grounded. Even now they clean their own rooms. I have kept them out of public life,' she said. Is It Important For Super Privileged Kids To Experience Day-To-Day Realities?
According to rehabilitation counsellor and psychotherapist Sonal Khangarot, children who are raised in enormous wealth benefit from engaging in day-to-day activities such as using public transportation or doing household chores. These practices, as per Sonal, build self-reliance and problem-solving skills in them.
Learning essential life skills fosters self-esteem and independence, reducing future anxiety and helplessness. This benefit applies to everyone, regardless of background, promoting humility, equality, and the development of emotionally intelligent adults who value all types of work and people. What Happens When Children Are Disciplined In Front Of Others?
Sonal Khangarot said that when parents publicly correct a child and tell them to apologise to people like domestic help or service staff, it can evoke shame rather than empathy in kids.
Public apologies may backfire, causing resentment rather than fostering responsibility. A more effective approach is private guidance, which cultivates empathy, respect, and a strong moral sense within the child in a safe and supportive environment.

Rajkummar Rao jokes about a ‘shraap' behind his small-town marriage roles: 'It just happened. Nothing is conscious'
Rajkummar Rao often plays small-town men facing marriage issues, a trend he attributes to a 'shraap' (curse) starting with 'Queen'. His characters frequently encounter wedding chaos.

In 'Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video', he and Triptii Dimri are newlyweds upset by a stolen private video. In 'Bhool Chuk Maaf', he's stuck in a time loop on his wedding day.

Meet world's highest-grossing actor, never gave a single hit, still has net worth of Rs..., beats Tom Cruise, Robert Downey Jr, Brad Pitt, he is...
How do you define stardom, by fame, awards, or fan following? Most often, it's by box office numbers. And by that metric, the world's highest-grossing actor isn't someone known for solo blockbusters or action franchises led alone. She doesn't even have a single solo hit to her name. Meet Scarlett Johansson Meet Scarlett Johansson, 40, the silent force behind some of the biggest box office juggernauts of our time. According to a report by Hindustan Times, Johansson has starred in 52 films across her career, mostly as a co-lead, with global earnings crossing $15 billion. That's more than Samuel L. Jackson, whose 66 films grossed $14.8 billion, and Robert Downey Jr., with 65 films making $14.3 billion. Scarlett's biggest hits lie within the Marvel Cinematic Universe While Scarlett's biggest hits lie within the Marvel Cinematic Universe, what's striking is this: not one of her films was a solo hit at the box office. Even her standalone MCU film, Black Widow, underperformed compared to ensemble projects. Ironically, it's the ensemble cast model that catapulted her to this record-smashing spot. Films like Avengers: Endgame, Infinity War, and others account for nearly $7 billion of her total. Adding to that is Jurassic World: Rebirth, which nudged her past Jackson and Downey in cumulative earnings. In the Indian context, only a handful have touched this realm. Shah Rukh Khan and Priyanka Chopra Jonas have both appeared in films with over $1 billion in global earnings, thanks to international releases and crossover projects. Scarlett's rise is a reminder: in an era of franchises and shared universes, you don't need to carry a film alone to rule the box office. Sometimes, it's teamwork, timing, and a little Marvel magic that does the trick.
