Nita Ambani's Heartfelt 'Kanyadaan' Speech Brings Guests To Tears At Anant-Radhika's Wedding

At her younger son Anant Ambani's wedding to Radhika Merchant, Nita Ambani, Chairperson of Reliance Foundation, delivered a heartfelt 'Kanyadaan' speech that deeply moved the guests. She emphasized the profound cultural significance of Kanyadaan, describing it as a noble act in Indian culture. Nita Ambani conveyed that parents do not simply "give away" their daughters; rather, daughters are cherished blessings for life. Drawing from her perspective as both a daughter and a mother, she underscored that the traditional concept of 'giving away' a daughter does not capture the true essence of the relationship. She elaborated that Kanyadaan transcends mere ritual, symbolizing the union of two families. One family welcomes a son, while the other embraces a daughter, marking the beginning of a unified extended family. Her speech highlighted how Hindu traditions honor and respect women, evolving to stay meaningful and modern. The Kanyadaan ritual, at its core, symbolizes love, respect, and togetherness, showcasing the importance of family and the sharing of roles and responsibilities in marriage. Nita Ambani's touching words about the 'Kanyadaan' tradition brought many guests, including her husband Mukesh Ambani, to tears, celebrating the honoring of daughters and the warmth of welcoming the future.
