Nina Kothari does not make headlines often, but her wealth, position and business acumen have made her a household name in her native India. She is the daughter of late Indian business tycoon Dhirubhai Ambani and her brother Mukesh is currently the richest man in the nation – and all of Asia. But Kothari has made her own path in life and her legacy is sure to be remembered – here are five interesting facts to know.
Kokilaben Ambani – the mother behind Asia’s richest man
She runs her late husband’s company
Nina’s husband Shyam Kothari died in 2015 after a prolonged battle with cancer. A couple of months later, Nina Kothari took the reins of her husband’s company, Kothari Sugars and Chemicals. Now aged 58, is currently chairwoman while her son Arjun works as the company’s managing director.
11 facts that show just how wealthy Mukesh Ambani really is
She is a very private person
Kothari is shy by nature and only socialises with a small group of friends. There are few exceptions to this rule, such as when she was seen with a large gathering of celebrities when her son Arjun got married in December 2019. Even so, public photos of the occasion were limited as few guests posted photos on social media, and reporters weren’t allowed to take pictures of the momentous occasion.

She is her family’s peacemaker
Tensions were high in the Ambani family when brothers Mukesh and Anil Ambani began disputing how to run the business their father left them when he died. However, Nina and her sister Dipti had no interest in demanding their fair share. Both women are married to wealthy businessmen with their own business empires and so didn’t desperately need the extra cash.

However, the refusal to get involved in a public argument over money may have had more to do with Kothari’s character than bank balance. What’s more, Kothari took part in several rapprochement meetings with her brothers, sister and mother to ensure the entire fracas was worked out amicably, out of the public eye.
She is close to her brothers

Nina Kothari is close to both her brothers. When her son Arjun got married, both brothers held functions to celebrate the event in their respective homes. Nina’s brother Mukesh Ambani hosted a pre-wedding bash for Nina’s daughter Nayantara at his home and invited all his Bollywood celebrity friends to join in the celebrations.

She is not a vegetarian
Not much is known about Nina Kothari’s private life, but rumour has it that she’s not a vegetarian. Her apparent stance is surprising given that her mother and her two brothers will not even allow meat products in their homes.
Nina isn’t one for the limelight, but her talents, abilities, and character are certainly noteworthy. She is a smart, skilled businesswoman – and a loving mother, sister and daughter.
