Mukesh Ambani and Nita Ambani’s youngest son Anant Ambani is all set to tie the knot with the daughter of Encore Healthcare CEO Viren Merchant, Radhika Merchant. Having exchanged the rings in 2023, they recently hosted an extravagant three-day pre-wedding celebration in Jamnagar, Gujarat, where they took their guests on a wildlife safari and introduced their wildlife center Vantara. However, as a section of the internet was busy gushing over the snippets from the events, some went on ahead to mock Anant for gaining weight again.
As reported by the Times Of India, Anant’s weight gain has always been a talking point among the netizens. It was in 2017, that Nita had opened up about the same. During an interview with the leading publication, the concerned mother stated that her son was “highly asthmatic.” This led to them putting him on a lot of steroids. She went on to add that he started to suffer from obesity. The asthma treatment resulted in the 28-year-old gaining weight. According to the report, he weighed around 208 kg. ALSO READ: WHAT!

And that is what I think my father and mother mean to me and I am eternally grateful.”
