00:00We welcome you with open arms and arms as a Ambani Beti.
00:06You are not just Anant's partner, but a cherished daughter, sister,
00:11maasi, kaki, maami and the light of all our lives.
00:17And Anant, you are God sent to all of us.
00:30When I first met Radhika, I knew that Anant has found his soulmate, his perfect companion.
00:53And I found another daughter who shares my love for dance and of course, my love for my son.
01:03Radhika, we welcome you with open arms and arms as a Ambani Beti.
01:10You are not just Anant's partner, but a cherished daughter, sister,
01:16maasi, kaki, maami and the light of all our lives.
01:23And Anant, you are God sent to all of us.
01:28My heart bursts with love and pride for you.
01:32You are the youngest, but with the biggest heart.
01:37You are the kindest, but with the strongest resolve.
01:41You are an encyclopedia of knowledge.
01:45When we were building the enclosures at Vantara, we did not know how to go about it.
01:52Anant did his research, got into details, learned CAD CAM,
01:58and he himself designed the rescue centre, not just the animals.
02:03His knowledge of our sacred Hindu scriptures, the Vedas, continues to inspire me.
02:11He just doesn't read them. He applies them and lives by them.
02:17Anant has learned so much more from life than what books and classrooms could ever teach.
02:27His gentle demeanour hides his strong iron will.
02:32His grand passions are backed by his endless patience and hard work.
02:39Anant, as Pappu says, your name means infinite and you are truly infinite.
02:49Jamnagar, as you know, is very special to our family.
02:55But let me tell you something that many of you may not know.
03:00When Mukesh was setting up the refinery and I was building the township here,
03:06Anant was less than two years old.
03:10Twice a week, month after month, I would leave for Jamnagar in the morning
03:15and return to Mumbai in the evening.
03:18And so, the first word my little Anantu ever said was not Mama or Pappu.
03:27It was Jamnagar.
03:30Jamnagar is a place where we have our roots,
03:34where Anant grew up and it's now become a home and heaven for our family.
03:41And that's why it feels just so right that we are celebrating this new beginning
03:48for Anant and Radhika here in Jamnagar.
03:53Jamnagar is where Anant's grandmother, Kokila Mummy, was born.
03:59It bears the legacy of his grandfather, Dhirubhai.
04:04And in the years to come, I hope Jamnagar will be known all over the world
04:11for the path-breaking work that Anant is doing
04:15in service of the people, the animals and our planet.
04:20As he begins his happily ever after with Radhika,
04:24I pray to the gods and goddesses to bless their union.
