When Anant Ambani Was Trolled For His Weight Gain On The Occasion Of His Engagement

Mukesh Ambani and Nita Ambani’s youngest son, Anant Ambani got engaged to long-time girlfriend Radhika Merchant in a lavish engagement ceremony at his residence, Antilia in January this year. Anant and Radhika’s engagement was a star-studded affair with several popular celebrities in attendance. Pictures and videos from their engagement ceremony instantly went viral and along with all the congratulatory messages, netizens posted a slew of troll comments on the posts as well.

Anant Ambani Subjected To Brutal Body Shaming

The Ambani scion has long been in the limelight for his weight. Back in 2016, Nita Ambani shared in an interview that Anant Ambani was highly asthmatic and was put on steroids, which led to his weight gain. Months later, Ambani broke the internet with his drastic weight loss. He reportedly lost around 108 kilos in less than 18 months.

As pictures from Ambani's engagement ceremony went up on social media, netizens were curious to know how he gained back those kilos and they put across their questions in the most unkind way on the posts featuring Ambani and Merchant from their engagement ceremony.

Public figures too have a life beyond the limelight, which most of us are unaware of and that’s why we should all know our boundaries. However, many fail to do so and the comments on Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant’s pictures are proof of it. Some comments on the posts read, “He got massively fat again. Have Ambani's lost control again?” , “OMG! ANANT is Obese!! Obesity is a disease. Guess family money helps.” "”Even if Anant could do a walk with this dog for 30 minutes daily, he cd have given Wealthy Merchants a Healthy Groom for their daughter. But Money is still not enough for the Wealthy!”, “A wealthy husband or a son in law is more imp than a healthy husband or son in law. (sic)”
