Mumbai: Mukesh Ambani, Chairman and Managing Director of Reliance Industries, isn’t the only prominent figure in the Ambani family. Along with his younger brother, Anil Ambani, Mukesh has two lesser-known sisters, Nina Kothari and Deepti Salgaonkar. Deepti, the youngest daughter of the late Dhirubhai Ambani, has chosen to lead a more private life compared to her brothers. Despite her low-key public presence, Deepti’s personal journey is intriguing. Growing up in the influential Ambani family, she shared a close bond with her father, which greatly impacted the course of her life.

Deepti Salgaocar has been married to businessman Dattaraj Salgaocar, a childhood friend of her brothers, Mukesh and Anil Ambani. Deepti and Dattaraj Salgaocar have been blessed with two children, a son named Vikram Salgaocar and a daughter named Isheta Salgaocar.

Meet Mukesh Ambani and Anil Ambani’s youngest sibling, Deepti Salgaocar, who had a love marriage, her husband owns…, is a childhood friend of…

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

Deepti’s love story is a heartwarming tale of destiny and friendship. In the Mumbai of yesteryears, the Ambani family lived on the 22nd floor of Usha Kiran, the city’s sole skyscraper at the time. Just below, on the 14th floor, lived the Salgaonkar family, headed by Vasudev Salgaonkar, a successful businessman. With shared humble beginnings and a strong entrepreneurial spirit, Dhirubhai Ambani and Vasudev Salgaonkar developed a close bond that naturally brought their families together.

After the passing of Vasudev Salgaonkar, Deepti Ambani and his son, Dattaraj Salgaonkar, formed a strong bond. Their love story flourished over five years of courtship, eventually leading to their marriage on December 31, 1983. The couple then started their new life together in Goa. Notably, Deepti Salgaonkar was the first in the Ambani family to have a love marriage.

Dattaraj Salgaocar, also known as Raj, is a successful businessman and the Managing Director of V.M. Salgaocar Group of Companies, carrying forward his father’s legacy. He is also the owner of Goa’s prominent Salgaocar Football Club. Speaking of his educational qualification, Dattaraj Salgaocar holds a degree in Production Engineering from V.J.T.I, Mumbai, and an MBA in Finance from Wharton, and has established a distinguished career in business.

Dattaraj Salgaocar, Deepti’s husband, established Sunaparanta, an institution committed to preserving Goa’s culture and heritage. Deepti actively contributes to its mission as the vice chairperson and a member of the advisory board.

The official website of Sunaparanta reads,” Sunaparanta Goa Centre for the Arts was founded in 2009 as a not-for-profit, process-based arts foundation by Dipti and Dattaraj V. Salgaocar with the vision to nurture, preserve and promote the artistic and cultural legacies of Goa through collections and archives; to encourage, sponsor and promote innovative work in the visual arts to serve as a bridge between the Goan art community and the national and international art communities; to provide mentoring and resource support to art students and others who want to learn about art.”

The couple has two children, Isheta D. Salgaoncar and Vikram D. Salgaoncar, and they live in a beautiful home in Dona Paula, near Panjim, Goa. While Deepti and her sister Nina Kothari lead private lives, they are frequently seen participating in the Ambani family’s celebrations and events.

Deepti Salgaoncar’s life became unexpectedly tied 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 involved in a major financial scandal related to fraud with Punjab National Bank. Despite the initial public attention, Isheta and Neeshal later divorced.

After her divorce, Isheta Salgaoncar found love once again with Atulya Mittal, the founder of Nexzu Mobility and nephew of steel magnate Lakshmi Niwas Mittal. This new relationship connected Isheta to another prominent business family, adding another layer to the fascinating dynamics within Deepti Salgaoncar’s family.
