Yes, you read that right! Dhirubhai’s day used to start only after visiting his granddaughter’s room and seeing her. This candid revelation was made by his wife Kokilaben Ambani during the pre-wedding function of Isha Ambani. During one of her marriage ceremonies, Kokilaben gushed over Dhirubhai Ambani's love for his granddaughter. She revealed that Dhirubhai Ambani would not drink his morning tea until he saw Isha’s face and this routine followed till Isha turned 6 months old. Kokilaben Ambani stated Isha Ambani, the daughter of Mukesh Ambani, and Nita Ambani was the most pampered child of Ambanis and that she was Dhirubhai Ambani’s favourite child.
Isha Ambani got married to Ajay and Swati Piramal's son Anand on December 12 in a grand ceremony in Udaipur. The two-day wedding extravaganza was a grand and star-studded affair with the who's who of Bollywood, business, and political personalities in attendance.
