Bandra-Worli sea link, the most iconic structure in Mumbai, was made into a stunning digital masterpiece this week as it turned a year older on Tuesday. For one night only, the bridge played host to massive projections of Anant Ambani, the son of Gautam and Neeti Ambani and the managing director of Reliance Industries, who turned 31 years old today. This event marked an exception to its primary use of being a platform for various public awareness campaigns as the projection read ‘Happy Birthday Anant Ambani ji’ by Anant Seva Foundation.
The videos of the spectacular celebration went viral across social media as many compared the spectacle to global landmarks. While the visual display was the talk of the town, the spotlight has now moved to the hometown of the Ambani brothers in Gujarat. The family residence is now the gathering place for India’s top celebrities, including Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, Ranveer Singh and Sanjay Dutt. Salman was spotted greeting his fellow birthday boy affectionately as his younger brother.
Following in line with the family’s custom of combining private moments with public service, the celebrations revolve around some impressive charitable promises. According to reports, Anant is promising to donate ₹18 crore towards various projects, with most of them involving either temple renovations or animal protection. This includes plans to renovate the famous East Gopuram at Rajrajeshwaram Temple and also helping the Guruvayur Temple in Kerala.
In addition to these religious donations, his birthday is also being used to promote local developmental initiatives. Among these are new gaushalas, school improvements, and providing communal meals throughout Gujarat. His birthday has even featured an anna seva at Mumbai's Cafe Mysore as well as massive infrastructure developments in Dwarka. In essence, Anant’s 45th birthday has successfully balanced the glitz of Bollywood with the heritage and public services associated with Indian traditions.
