Dhirubhai Ambani was born in 1932 in Chorwad, Junagadh, Gujarat to Hirachand Ambani and Jamnaben Ambani in a middle class family. Just as Jamshedji Tata of Gujarat laid the foundation of India's largest business house 'Tata Family' before independence, similarly, the foundation of the Ambani family, which runs the country's most valuable company Reliance Industries after independence, is linked to Dhirubhai Ambani.
In the Tata family, we know the entire legacy from Jamshedji Tata to Ratan Tata. So today know about the legacy of Dhirubhai Ambani's family.
Marriage of Dhirubhai Ambani and Kokilaben
Dhirubhai Ambani married Kokilaben of Jamnagar in 1955 and with her, the foundation of today's Ambani family, known as the Reliance family, was laid. In an interview to a newspaper many years ago, Kokilaben said that after leaving Jamnagar, she lived with her in-laws in Chorwad for about 8 years. These were the years when Dhirubhai Ambani was working in Yemen.
Referring to the 'long distance relationship' between her and Dhirubhai at that time, Kokilaben said that Dhirubhai Ambani was working in Aden, Yemen at that time. He used to write letters to Kokilaben from there. He was very sweet and funny by nature. He often used to write about buying a new car in the letter. The colour of that car was black.
Dhirubhai Ambani and Kokilaben have 4 children
Dhirubhai Ambani has two sons, Mukesh and Anil Ambani. Almost the whole world knows about this. There is a dispute going on in the country regarding the division of property between the two. But do you know that he also has two daughters. One of his daughters is named Nina Kothari and the other is named Deepti Salgaonkar.
His elder daughter Nina Kothari married businessman Bhadrashyam Kothari in 1986. Her husband died of cancer in 2015 and she herself is now the head of Kothari Sugars and Chemicals. She has two children, a son named Arjun and a daughter named Nayantara.
Deepti Salgaonkar's husband is Mukesh Ambani's childhood friend
Deepti Salgaonkar is the youngest in the family but she was the first woman in the family to marry Dattaraj Salgaonkar in 1983. The story of their marriage is also quite unique. Dattaraj Salgaonkar is Mukesh Ambani's childhood friend. During childhood, both their families lived in Mumbai's first skyscraper Usha Kiran Building. At that time, Deepti lived on the 22nd floor and Dattaraj on the 14th floor. People from both families used to visit each other's house. So when both of them decided to get married, both families immediately became happy.
