Inside twins Isha and Akash Ambani’s billion-dollar bond: born through IVF, the siblings are fiercely close, work together at Reliance Jio and even signed a historic deal with Facebook
- India’s richest man, Mukesh Ambani, and his wife Nita had the twins through IVF six years into their marriage – after a doctor told them they could never conceive
- Besides carrying on the Ambani legacy, Akash is heavily involved in IPL cricket team the Mumbai Indians, while Isha said it was her dream to bring a museum to Mumbai
But how strong is their relationship? And how successful will the 30-year-old siblings be in business together? We take a look at the powerful twins who are the future of the Ambani name.
IVF babies
Isha said Nita was a full-time mum for the first few years because she wanted to spend as much time with her miracle babies as possible. She later went back to work when the children turned five, according to BollywoodShaadis.
An unbreakable bond
Isha once told Vogue India about her childhood, revealing that with two brothers, Akash and Anant, she was “naughty” and had to “fight for survival” many times. She said she grew up as a tomboy and was always considered to be one of the boys, never doubting that she could do whatever they did.
Their aunt, Tina, said she remembered Akash being adorable as a child and referred to Isha as her “naughty daughter in pigtails”, reports NDTV. Through the years, the twins have presented a united front and are often photographed attending Reliance events together.
