The highs and lows of Anant Ambani’s incredible weight journey: Mukesh and Nita’s son lost a whopping 108kg dieting in 2016, but the pandemic has proved challenging
- Celebrity trainer Vinod Channa – who worked with Bollywood stars like John Abraham and Ayushmann Khurrana – helped the Ambani heir with his weight loss journey in 2016
- Anant showed off his slim physique, but stayed out of the spotlight in 2020 – even skipping Mumbai Indians cricket games and Reliance Industries’ general meeting
However, after more than five years, the Ambani heir gained the weight back during the lockdown-ridden pandemic and ended up retreating from the spotlight. (As studies show that most people will eventually gain back the weight they lose from diets, he’s definitely not alone.)
But given his previous determination, we hope he’ll be able to overcome this hurdle too.
Here’s a timeline of Anant’s weight loss transformation:
2014-2015
Ahead of his 21st birthday, Anant decided he wanted to make a lifestyle change and shed some serious pounds. He spoke to his mum about his goals, and she hired celebrity fitness trainer – and household name in India – Vinod Channa, to concoct a healthy, achievable and measured fitness plan.
The trainer, who is also responsible for the lean physiques of Bollywood stars like John Abraham and Ayushmann Khurrana, said Anant’s main issue was that he was not active, and his eating habits led to lethargy. Channa explained that he decided to start Anant off on a low-intensity workout regime, slowly building up so Anant would become stronger and fitter.
