Mukesh Ambani and Nita Ambani's son Anant Ambani makes big move, decides to donate....
Mukesh Ambani and Nita Ambani's youngest son Anant Ambani made a generous donation of Rs. 5 crore to the Ganga Sabha at Har Ki Pauri in Haridwar, one of the most sacred ghats on the banks of the Ganga river in the holy city of Haridwar. Anant, along with his father Mukesh Ambani and wife, had been visiting several religious places across India. During their stop at Har Ki Pauri, Anant personally reviewed the work being carried out by the Ganga Sabha and decided to support their efforts with the donation. According to reports, this contribution is aimed at improving the infrastructure at Har Ki Pauri. Following the Haridwar visit, Anant invited Ganga Sabha official Tanmay Vashisht to Mumbai for a meeting. The two met at the Ambani family residence, Antilia, where they spoke about the Ganga river, ongoing projects at Har Ki Pauri, and the Sabha's future plans. Vashisht expressed that the Ambani family holds deep spiritual values and has a heartfelt connection to sacred places, especially the Ganga. During his time in Haridwar, Anant reassured the Ganga Sabha members of his full support. In return, the members expressed their sincere thanks to the Ambani family and offered prayers for their well-being and continued prosperity. In 2020, Anant donated Rs 5 crore to the Uttarakhand Char Dham Devasthanam Board to help it cover the financial losses suffered due to COVID-19 induced nationwide lockdown. The Uttarakhand Char Dham Devasthanam Board manages four revered shrines- Kedarnath, Badrinath, Yamunotri and Gangotri and other 51 temples.

Radhika Merchant and Anant Ambani Seek Blessings at Har Ki Pauri in Serene Traditional Attire
Last Updated: Radhika Merchant embraced serene elegance in a cyan-green embroidered suit during a spiritual visit to Haridwar's Har Ki Pauri with Anant Ambani On a quiet Sunday morning in Haridwar, Radhika Merchant and Anant Ambani were spotted at the revered Har Ki Pauri, participating in the sacred Ganga pujan ceremony alongside the priests of the Ganga Sabha. The couple's spiritual visit was marked by a refreshing departure from their usual high-glamour appearances, especially for Radhika, who embraced a refined and understated ethnic ensemble for the occasion. Style in Simplicity: Radhika Merchant's Elegant Ethnic Ensemble For the spiritual outing, Radhika chose a soothing cyan-green suit that radiated calm sophistication. Her kurta featured a graceful V-neckline, full sleeves, and a softly flared hem that lent a touch of ease to the silhouette. The breathable cotton fabric was delicately embellished with all-over floral embroidery, adding subtle charm and femininity. She completed the look with coordinated straight-cut pants and a matching dupatta, the latter edged with fine embroidered detailing. Keeping with the theme of simplicity, Radhika opted for a minimal makeup look, letting her natural glow shine through. Her long, wavy hair was parted in the middle and left open, falling effortlessly over her shoulders—a picture of relaxed elegance. Anant Ambani's Traditional Look Anant Ambani complemented Radhika's pared-down aesthetic with a classic navy blue kurta. The ensemble featured a collared neckline, rolled-up sleeves, and a comfortable fit, which he paired with matching pants. His signature long hair, slicked back, along with a full beard, gave him his characteristic composed yet regal appearance. Together, the newlyweds embraced a look rooted in cultural tradition and personal authenticity, proving that true style doesn't always come wrapped in couture or opulence—it can shine just as brightly in quiet moments of devotion. The Couple Behind the Spotlight Anant Ambani is the youngest son of Reliance Industries chairman Mukesh Ambani and philanthropist Nita Ambani. In July 2024, he married Radhika Merchant, the daughter of industrialist Viren Merchant and Shaila Merchant. Their wedding was a grand celebration that spanned three days and drew the who's who of global entertainment, politics, and business. Their visit to Haridwar marks a peaceful, spiritual chapter in their journey together, offering a moment of grace amid their otherwise high-profile life. First Published: May 05, 2025, 09:19 IST
