Nita Ambani shares how Dhirubhai Ambani would quiz her daily on any topic

Nita Ambani, Chairperson of Reliance Foundation, held a grand event on account of Guru Purnima to celebrate the occasion recently. The celebration “Parampara”, held at Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre (NMACC) in Mumbai was attended by many popular personalities.
She performed a traditional lamp lighting to grace the occasion and also paid homage to her father-in-law, late Dhirubhai Ambani.
Expressing gratitude to her most inspiring guru - late Dhirubhai Ambani, she said it will be his 21st death anniversary on the 6th of July this year. “He continues to live on, not only in our hearts but, in the hearts of millions of Indians. Today, with the deepest respect and affection, we pay our homage and shraddhanjali to Pappa,” she said.
Sharing some memorable experiences, Nita spoke about how she spent every evening with her father-in-law where he would sit with her and ask questions on any topic-- ranging from politics to economics. She further shared that as a new bride, she found this quiz overwhelming but now looked at that hour as a learning experience.
Nita also explained how Dhirubhai Ambani had always been supportive of her dreams and passed on some valuable lessons to her. "He always believed in me and encouraged me to follow my dreams... He broadened my horizons, taught me that nothing is impossible if you chase your dreams with discipline and hard work, and showed me the value of respecting and nurturing relationships”, she added.
At the ceremony, the businesswoman also spoke about the impact our gurus have in sharing our lives and personalities. She remembered her mother Purnima and urged everyone to honor their gurus.
“From time immemorial, India has witnessed a tradition of inspiring gurus. They have transformed not only the lives of their disciples but also created legacies for generations to look up to and live by! In my own journey of life, I have been blessed to find gurus who have guided and shaped me into the person I am today. My mother’s name is Purnima. On this sacred day of Guru Purnima, let us honor all our parents as our first gurus, teachers, mentors, and role models!”, Mrs. Ambani said.
