Nita Ambani urges Indian parents to support daughters in pursuing their dreams

Nita Ambani, the owner of the IPL franchise Mumbai Indians, was in Delhi on Tuesday to support her team and discuss the value of a platform such as the Women's Premier League (WPL) for Indian sportswomen.

As Mumbai Indians are playing their final league phase match this season ahead of the knockout phase, Nita Ambani praised the WPL as a fantastic platform for young girls to interact with the world's top players.

She said: “What a platform for our girls to perform! These girls are getting to play with the best in the world and it is such a heart-warming feeling.”

She especially mentioned Sajeevan Sajana, who turned out to be one of the team’s best stars this year, “I saw Sajana getting the award. She is a graduate in political science. Her father is an autorickshaw driver and she chose to play cricket. I hope this sets an example for parents to encourage their girls choose what profession they wish. Not only for cricket, WPL is an example for girls in all kinds of sports.”

The #OneFamily philosophy and the upbeat environment, according to Nita. Ambani, were crucial to MI's success.

“I have been in cricket since 2010 and watching these girls play is one of my most heart-warming experiences. MI is known to be a family and all I tell them is go out, do your best and enjoy yourself,” she added.

Moreover, she encouraged parents to let their daughters pursue their dreams during the event, as per Times of India.

Nita Ambani’s son Anant Ambani and his fiancée Radhika Merchant celebrated last weekend with a packed schedule of parties that included A-list celebrities, millionaires, and the ultra-elite. Anant is the youngest son of Nita and Mukesh Ambani. With an estimated net worth of $114 billion, Mukesh is the richest person in Asia according to Bloomberg's Billionaire Index.

The three-day event's extravagant celebrations, which included a private performance by Rihanna and a communal feast that fed 51,000 people, made headlines all around the world. Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg were also present.
