Nita Ambani recently attended the Harvard India Conference 2025, where she delivered the keynote address, spoke about her son Anant Ambani’s struggle with obesity, and engaged in a lighthearted rapid-fire round on Bollywood. Her responses, particularly her preference for Bollywood over Hollywood, sparked reactions from social media users.
Nita Ambani’s Bollywood Preferences
During the fun segment, Nita Ambani was asked about her favorite Bollywood actor, to which she promptly named Amitabh Bachchan. When given a choice between Ranbir Kapoor and Ranveer Singh, she chose Ranbir Kapoor, stating, “Ranbir, because my son Akash will be very happy he’s his best friend.” Her response delighted the audience, as Ranbir shares a close bond with Akash Ambani and was even a guest at his wedding.
Another intriguing moment came when Nita was asked to pick between having dinner with Ranbir Kapoor or Bill Gates. After some thought, she chose the Bollywood star over the Microsoft co-founder, which drew loud cheers from the audience. This particular response stirred discussions on social media, with some users finding her deep interest in Bollywood amusing. One Reddit user commented, “She is obsessed with Bollywood,” while another remarked, “Picking Ranbir over Bill Gates suits the current core Indian mindset, which is overly patriotic. Plus, RK is her son’s best friend, so Beta bhi raazi aur desh wale bhi raazi.”
