Nita Ambani and her family recently captured not only India's but the world's attention, all because of their son, Anant's big, and quite glamorous Indian wedding to Radhika Merchant. In a recent interview, the matriarch of the family opened up about the huge celebrations. 

Talking to Bloomberg she revealed, "Every parent wants to do their best for their children's wedding, and that's what we did." Given the huge celebrations and the long list of celebrities from around the globe that attended the wedding, it was a boost for the 'made in India' brand. She said, "In all this, I think, it was a made-in-India brand that came out." 

The Chairperson of Reliance Industries was happy that her family's celebrations were able to put the Indian culture on the world stage. "I'm just happy that I was able to, kind of, bring to the center stage our Indian traditions, our Indian heritage, and our Indian culture."

Bringing all forms of art forms to India has been one of Nita Ambani's biggest motives. She says, "India has such a great history. If we take that Legacy and make ensure that it is nurtured, it is cherished so that it lives on for generations to come. I think that would be our vision to shine the spotlight on India."

Nita Ambani reveales the biggest reason behind building the NMACC, a cultural center, is to not only bring the world's biggest artists to the country, but also to give India's artists a platform.

She admitted that it was the most touching moment for her as a mother.
