Has Jai Anmol restarted the Ambani family feud with billionaire uncle Mukesh? His anti-mask, anti-vaccine tweets could reignite the Reliance Industries family war

- Anil Ambani’s media-shy son has promoted the anti-mask and anti-vaccine movement on Twitter and called restriction measures part of ‘a very sinister plan’
- The former Reliance Capital executive director tweeted potshots at India’s wealthy benefiting from the pandemic, perhaps aimed at uncle Mukesh and wife Nita
Jai Anmol Ambani has widely been described as media shy, avoiding the press and preferring to keep company with his parents, Anil and Tina Ambani. So, it was something of a surprise when he recently tweeted up a storm against renewed lockdown restrictions in India.
Not only did Jai Anmol raise eyebrows with his anti-vaccine and anti-mask stance, but his swipes at the country’s rich he berated for benefiting from the pandemic could be poking at the still-fragile allegiance between his dad and his uncle: Mukesh Ambani, India’s richest person, had a net worth of US$72.9 billion as of April 14, according to Forbes’ Real-time Billionaires List.

What on earth did Jai Anmol say?
A graduate of the UK’s prestigious University of Warwick and the eldest son of Anil and Tina, Jai Anmol controversially slammed lockdown restrictions during a renewed surge of Covid-19 infections in India.

“This is not about health. This is about control, and I would think most of us are unknowingly and unconsciously falling into the trap of a much larger and very sinister plan,” he tweeted on April 6.
