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.
