From digging out youngsters from the remotest of places in Maharashtra to placing a bid for a superstar in the IPL auction table - Nita Ambani has done it all for Mumbai Indians. Mukesh Ambani, the Reliance Industries chairman and the husband of Nita, even expressed his delight saying that his wife has turned Mumbai Indians into a better brand than his own company.

 

“I have to congratulate Nita. A lot of us at Reliance say that we are very proud of what Reliance has done over the years, but I think with both her school (Dhirubhai Ambani International School) and cricket (Mumbai Indians) Nita has built a bigger brand for Reliance,” Mukesh was quoted as saying by the Financial Express.

“Mumbai Indians came silently and unexpectedly in our life and now it has become an integral part of all our feelings and our being. It has been one of the most beautiful journeys that presented us, 10 years of wonderful memories. 10 years of new friendship and bonding, and 10 years of prayers, but we will not trade these 10 years for anything else,” Nita said.
