“From time immemorial, India has witnessed a tradition of inspiring gurus. They have transformed not only the lives of their disciples but also created legacies for generations to look up to and live by! In my own journey of life, I have been blessed to find gurus who have guided and shaped me into the person I am today. My mother’s name is Purnima. On this sacred day of Guru Purnima, let us honour all our parents as our first gurus, teachers, mentors, and role models!”

She mentioned that teachers teach us life lessons with their wisdom and unconditional love and remembered her most inspiring guru, her father-in-law, late Dhirubhai Ambani. The loving bahu shared that July 6, 2023, will mark her Pappa’s 21st death anniversary and added that he continues to live on in the hearts of millions of Indians. Paying homage to beloved Dhirubhai Ambani, Nita said:
“They guide us and teach us life lessons with their wisdom and unconditional love. Today, I am remembering with fondness and gratitude, one of my dearest and most inspiring gurus – my father-in-law Shri Dhirubhai Ambani. On the 6th of July, it will be Pappa’s 21st death anniversary. He continues to live on, not only in our hearts, but in the hearts of millions of Indians. Today, with the deepest respect and affection, we pay our homage and shraddhanjali to Pappa.”
Nita Ambani heaped praises on late Dhirubhai Ambani and called him an institution in himself. Mentioning how her Pappa was a loving teacher, Nita revealed that he always believed in her and encouraged her to follow her dreams. She recalled Dhirubhai's everyday ritual of asking her questions at 7:30 pm, the businesswoman said:
“Pappa was an institution in himself. He was an icon, a visionary, and a business leader par excellence, but at his core, Pappa was a loving teacher. Just being in his presence, watching his grit and determination in everything he did, was a masterclass on life! He always believed in me and encouraged me to follow my dreams. I remember 7:30 pm every evening used to be my time with Pappa! He would sit with me and ask me questions. The topic could be anything!”

Further, talking about their daily quiz round, Nita Ambani shared that the topics were extremely wide and she would reach out to her husband, Mukesh, to find out what Pappa might ask. However, that didn't help her as Dhirubhai would find out new topics to quiz her on. Though initially, it was an overwhelming experience for her, now she looks at it as learning and motivation. Recalling her bond with Dhirubhai, she said:
“It would range from agriculture to the stock market to the political climate in Argentina in those days. Many times, I would try to find out from Mukesh what Pappa might ask me the next day! Of course, that didn’t help, as Pappa would always find new topics to quiz me on. Though at that time it was overwhelming for a young bride – But now I look back at it as the hour of learning and motivation! He broadened my horizons, taught me that nothing is impossible if you chase your dreams with discipline and hard work, and showed me the value of respecting and nurturing relationships."
