Mukesh Ambani sheds tears of joy as he gets emotional during son Anant's speech during pre-wedding bash

“Anant and I are so, so lucky to have some of the most amazing women on Earth as our influences. Nita aunty, who will move heaven and earth for her children. Isha, who is our most fierce protector. Shloka, you are the kindest person and I would be completely lost without you. Anjali, you are the force behind anything good that I have in me. Mumma, you are our safe place," Radhika said.

Explaining the significance of Jamnagar in their lives, Radhika Merchant said: "For Anant and me, Jamnagar is where our heart is. This is where we grew up, where we became friends, where we fell in love and where we built our relationship. Now as we begin our future together, we will be doing it here and we are so thankful that you get to see the beginning of it."

Later, Anant remarked, "I am 100 percent the lucky one; there is no doubt about that. I also don't know how I got Radhika (Merchant) so I am definitely the luckiest here."

"I have earthquakes and tsunamis in my heart when I see Radhika," he said as the blushing bride-to-be Radhika stood beside him. Addressing the guests, Anant expressed, "I don’t know how I got Radhika. I am definitely the luckiest here. Radhika has been with me for the last seven years and I feel that I met Radhika yesterday. But every day I fall more and more in love with her. Like my brother-in-law says that when he used to see my sister, he had volcanoes and fountains going up in his heart and I would say I have earthquakes and tsunamis going on in my heart when I see Radhika. So, thank you Radhika for everything.”

He then thanked his would-be in-laws for "welcoming me into your family with open arms. I am extremely thankful and grateful for having the patience for the last seven years. Finally, the day is here.”

Anant then moved on to his grandparents. "I would like to take blessings from my grand mom Kokila Mommy. She is from Jamnagar and she has been a big inspiration to me. I am always motivated by her. My grandfather will be blessing me. My Nani is a Nagar Brahmin and she has taught me a lot. I have stayed mostly with my Nani when I was young. She taught me everything. And I have Radhika's Nani here, her nana is blessing us from heaven. My nana also is blessing us from above. They are going to be extremely happy."

Anant then went on to talk about Vantara. "Over the next two days you are all going to see a glimpse of Vantara. I hope it is as magical for all of you as it has been for me. Vanatra has been my passion for the last many years. We started the first rescue center I think in 2008 and its been only possible because of my parents and my family’s support. My mother and my father have always taught me to serve, and this was my giving back to society. I started off small and as my grandfather said, dare to dream, I dreamt and turned it into reality. I don’t want to talk much about it. I want you all to experience it."
