Kokilaben Ambani, 91, is the mother of Reliance Industries chairman Mukesh Ambani and Reliance ADA Group chairman Anil Ambani. She is the matriarch of India’s richest and most influential business family. Kokilaben was taken to HN Reliance Hospital in Mumbai on Thursday night after a health emergency. While the exact nature of her condition remains disclosed, reports suggest her health has declined due to age-related issues. As of now there has been no official statement from the Ambani family or Reliance Industries.

Who is Kokilaben Ambani?

Kokilaben played a very important role in 2002 after the death of her husband, Dhirubhai Ambani, the founder of Reliance Industries. When disagreements between her sons Mukesh and Anil turned into a public family dispute, she stepped in as a mediator. She helped divide the Reliance business assets fairly within her sons.

She has been the guiding force of the Ambani family for decades, supporting her husband in building the Reliance empire and later guiding her children as the family grew into one of the most powerful names in global business.

Kokilaben Ambani and Dhirubhai Ambani have four children together: Mukesh, Anil, Nina Kothari, and Dipti Salgaocar.

Kokilaben Ambani lives with her elder son Mukesh Ambani at Antilia, the family’s iconic Mumbai home valued at over Rs. 15,000 crore.

Even at her age, she remains a strong guiding force in the family, and important decisions are often made with her advice and approval. She is also known to share close, warm relationships with her daughters-in-law, Nita Ambani and Tina Ambani, reflecting the strong family bonds she has nurtured over the years.

Do you know Kokilaben only wears pink

Kokilaben Ambani is often seen wearing pink sarees, which has become something of her signature style. She seems to have a special love for the color her wardrobe includes sarees in many shades of pink, from soft pastels to bright magentas. Even her celebrations often feature pink décor, like her birthday parties, where the rooms are decorated in pink.

Recently, she attended the Annual Day at Dhirubhai Ambani International School in a pink saree with white polka dots and a floral embroidered border, once again reflecting her fondness for the color.

Though pink is her favorite, Kokilaben’s style is not limited to just one look. She often chooses sarees in different patterns, fabrics, and designs, such as a silk saree with a golden border and intricate motifs, which she wore during an event with her daughter, Deepti Salgaonkar, but she almost always finds a way to keep pink as part of her signature style.

What is Kokilaben Ambani’s net worth
