Mukesh Ambani told Simi Garewal, "Nita was really the first girl I had seen. I had pretty much made up my mind that this is it, this is my life partner. So once when we were driving down Peddar Road, it occurred to me out of the blue and I said, 'Nita, will you marry me? Just say yes or no now.'"

Then Nita Ambani asked him to drive because of the worsening the traffic jam, she said, sharing, "People were shouting and cars were blowing horns and I said 'Mukesh, move on.' And he said, 'Tell me yes or no. I shall not move the car.'"

"'Would you have asked me to get out of the car then and there and driven off?'" Mukesh Ambani recalled her as saying. “I said, ‘No, I would have dropped you off home and we would have remained friends’”, he said at the time.

During the chat, Nita Ambani also revealed that she started teaching at Sunflower Nursery within a year of her marriage to Mukesh Ambani.

“People used to laugh at me at that time, but I think it gave me a lot of satisfaction,” Nita Ambani said.
