Charity begins at home, says Nita Ambani

It’s not everyday that Nita Ambani chooses to speak about her three lovely children — daughter Isha and sons Akash and Anant.

She reveals that they plunged headlong into charitable activities like their illustrous dad, businessman Mukesh Ambani and of course, Nita herself!

“Isha is interested in imparting education to underprivileged children. This summer she led a group of students from Yale visiting India as part of an NGO initiative. Akash supports sporting activities for underprivileged children. Anant is an animal lover and runs an animal shelter for injured animals and animals in distress. We are proud that our children have this compassionate streak in them,” she says.

She also reveals that her three children have picked up some very  specials skills along the way like wildlife photography (Akash), Isha (painting) and naturalist (Anant). “I have always been particular to instil Indian traditional values in our children. I believe that when they are anchored to such roots, it will resonate in their personality.”

Nita reveals that she has decided to support a charitable art and luxury auction, The Treasure Trove co-patronised by Bijal Meswani.

Talking about the initiative and why she chose to be a part of it, she says, “I always value any initiative or institution that sprinkles hope and brings new sparkle and smiles to the lives of those who are not as blessed. The Research Society, Jai Vakeel School is one such exemplary institution, serving the differently-abled children for nearly three-quarter of a century. Educating and empowering these children and embedding self-esteem in them is a joy forever.”
