What did Nita Ambani do before marrying Mukesh Ambani? What was her salary?

Mukesh Ambani’s wife Nita Ambani is known as one of the world’s most prominent socialites and a key figure in the Ambani billionaire family. Yet many are unaware of her life before marrying India’s richest man. Nita and Mukesh Ambani married in 1985 and have three children: twins Akash and Isha, and their youngest son, Anant. The family lives a life of luxury, but Nita’s early years were very different.

She was born Nita Dalal and grew up in a middle-class family. Her father, Ravindrabhai Dalal, held a senior management position at the Aditya Birla Group. Nita started training in Bharatnatyam at the age of six and continued to pursue her passion for dance until she was twenty. She later became a dance teacher and earned a modest income at a small school in Mumbai.

It was during one of her dance performances that Nita caught the attention of Dhirubhai Ambani, her future father-in-law. After marrying Mukesh, Nita made one request: that she be allowed to continue working. The Ambani family strongly supported her decision. In an interview with Simi Garewal, Nita shared that after her marriage, she continued teaching at St. Flower Nursery and earned a monthly salary of Rs 800, demonstrating her commitment to continue her professional life despite her new status as part of a billionaire family.
