Meet Mukesh Ambani, Anil Ambani’s lesser- known sister, she had a love marriage, her children are…

Yes, Mukesh Ambani, the Chairman and Managing Director of Reliance Industries, is not the only sibling in the Ambani family making headlines. In addition to his younger brother Anil Ambani, Mukesh also has two lesser-known sisters, Nina Kothari and Deepti Salgaonkar. Deepti Salgaonkar, the youngest daughter of the late Dhirubhai Ambani, has chosen to live a relatively private life compared to her brothers. Despite her modest demeanor, Deepti has a fascinating personal journey. Growing up in the influential Ambani family, she shared a close bond with her father, which played a significant role in shaping her life.

Deepti married Dattaraj Salgaonkar, a businessman from Goa, and became part of the Salgaonkar family, which is also well-known in the business community. Though she has largely stayed away from the limelight, Deepti remains deeply connected to her family’s values and has been a supportive pillar in their endeavors.

All about Dipti Salgaoncar

Deepti Salgaocar is the youngest of the Ambani siblings. She was born on January 23, 1962, to business tycoon Dhirubhai Ambani and Kokilaben. Deepti Salgaocar studies law at VM Salgaocar College of Law.

She married her husband, Dattaraj Salgaoncar, after a courtship of five years on December 31, 1983. Dattaraj Salgaoncar and his family lived on the 14th floor of the same building as the Ambanis, which led to a close bond between the families. Mukesh Ambani, Anil Ambani, and Dattaraj grew up as friends, spending time together and visiting each other’s homes frequently.

Through this connection, Deepti Ambani and Dattaraj eventually crossed paths, and their relationship blossomed into love. The couple began dating and, after a courtship of five years, got married.

Dattaraj, popularly known as Raj, is now the Managing Director of V. M. Salgaocar & Bro. Pvt. Ltd., carrying forward the legacy of his late father, Vasudev Salgaocar.

Together, Dipti and Dattaraj run the Sunaparanta Goa Centre for the Arts, a non-profit arts initiative that provides working and exhibition spaces, as well as grants and assistance, to artists, according to a report in TOI. Dipti is also the Vice President of Corporate Communication at V. M. Salgaocar & Bro. Pvt. Ltd.

Interestingly, she is the first person in the Ambani family to have had a love marriage. Dhirubhai Ambani and Vasudev Salgaocar (Duttaraj’s father) were great family friends.

The couple has two children, Isheta D. Salgaoncar and Vikram D. Salgaoncar, and they reside in a beautiful house in Dona Paula, near Panjim, Goa. Though Dipti and her sister Nina Kothari maintain private lives, they are often seen participating in the Ambani family’s celebrations and festivities.

Deepti Salgaoncar’s connection with Nirav Modi and Lakshmi Mittal

Deepti Salgaoncar’s life was unexpectedly linked to a high-profile controversy when her daughter, Isheta Salgaoncar, married Neeshal Modi in 2016. Neeshal Modi is the younger brother of Nirav Modi, the diamond tycoon embroiled in a major financial scandal involving fraud with Punjab National Bank. Despite the initial public attention, Isheta and Neeshal later divorced.

Following her divorce, Isheta found love again with Atulya Mittal, the founder of Nexzu Mobility and nephew of steel magnate Lakshmi Niwas Mittal. This relationship tied Isheta to another prominent business family, further adding to the interesting dynamics within Deepti Salgaoncar’s family circle.
