Anant Ambani’s recent weight-loss is breaking the internet, and for all the right reasons. The younger son of Nita and Mukesh Ambani, India’s richest businessman, Anant has been known to suffer from chronic asthma, and it was his medication that supposedly led to his weight gain. But now, the youngest heir to the Ambani throne, Anant, has come out shining like a true star with a weight-loss transformation, thanks to his consistent workout and diet control.
Anant lost a staggering 108 kilos in less than 18 months. As he was determined to lose weight in the most natural and safest way possible, he followed a strict diet and exercised for five-six hours every day. His daily exercise regimen included a 21-km walk, followed by yoga, weight training, functional training and high-intensity cardio exercises. He stuck to a zero-sugar, low-carb diet along with adequate fat and protein.
While the weight-loss is giving major fitspiration to millions already, the real motivating factor behind Anant’s new look is his mother Nita Ambani.
In an old interview in ToI earlier, when Nita M Ambani was asked as what made her to shed the extra kilos, the mother of three was quoted as saying, “There was no motivation other than my son Anant. He suffers from obesity. He was highly asthmatic so we had to put him on a lot of steroids. He had to lose weight for health reasons. A child does what his mother does, so I couldn’t be seen eating while putting him on a diet. So I went on a diet along with Anant”.She continued “Whatever he ate, I ate. Whenever he exercised, I did too. If he went for a walk, I would go along. By virtue of being his mother, I lost weight. He was my main motivation and continues to be, as we are still fighting obesity. There are so many children who have this, and mothers feel shy admitting it. But I think you have to motivate your child to lose weight, as the child looks up to you all the time. Both of us went away to Los Angeles for some time to a children’s obesity hospital so I could get into a routine with him. I think that made my transition from whatever I was to what I am today.”
People are absolutely bowled over by Anant Ambani’s weight loss and the latest to praise him was Captain Cool MS Dhoni who also took to Twitter to say: “Wish u a very happy birthday Anant.u gave the best gift to urself by losing over 100 kg. Discipline and determination.” Salman Khan also took to his twitter handle and shared a selfie with Anant. Along with it he wrote, “So happy to see Anant Ambani, lots of respect n sooo happy fr him. Takes a lot of willpower to lose 108kgs in 18 months.”
Nita Ambani is proud of Anant’s will power and determination. He is presently pursuing his studies at Brown University in the US. He was committed to discovering and embracing a healthier self for his 21st birthday, a goal he just achieved. At the lavish birthday bash, Anant garnered respect from MS Dhoni, Salman Khan, and IPL chairman Rajeev Shukla
