In a viral video, Mukesh Ambani said, “Jai Shree Krishna. Aap sab ka bahut bahut swagat. Ye Anant aur Radhika ka last celebration hai, par mere liye ye most important celebration hai,” which means, “A big welcome to all of you. This is Anant and Radhika’s last celebration. But for me, this is the most important celebration.”
