In a spectacle that can only be described as part devotion, part drama, and a whole lot of “Ambani charm,” Anant Ambani, the youngest scion of India’s richest family, made headlines yet again. This time, it wasn’t for a billion-dollar deal but for rescuing 250 chickens on his spiritual journey to Dwarka. Yes, you read that right—chickens.
While walking his 140 km padyatra to the holy city of Dwarka, Anant Ambani reportedly stopped a poultry van, personally intervened, and bought all the birds at double their market price before setting them free. Because why not? If you’re an Ambani, even rescuing poultry comes with a premium price tag.
“Jai Dwarkadhish!” – With a Chicken in Hand
Eyewitnesses claim that after securing the release of these unsuspecting chickens, Anant marched forward, proudly holding one in his hand, chanting “Jai Dwarkadhish!” in what can only be described as an epic cinematic moment—perhaps something straight out of a Sanjay Leela Bhansali film, but with feathers.
The act, hailed by some as an example of great compassion, has left the internet divided. While devout followers see it as a noble gesture, skeptics question if this was just another well-calculated PR move designed to create a “down-to-earth billionaire” image. After all, how often does one see a multi-billionaire stopping a poultry truck on a pilgrimage?
Twitter Reacts: “Next Up, Rescuing Paneer from Butter Masala?”
Social media had a field day with this development. Some praised Anant’s kindness, while others couldn’t resist poking fun. A viral tweet read:
“If Ambani’s love for animals continues, soon we might see him liberating paneer from butter masala or setting free potatoes from aloo paratha.”
Another user commented, “Great move! Now if only they’d also rescue Indian taxpayers from telecom and retail monopolies.”
A Symbolic Gesture or Genuine Kindness?
Anant Ambani’s love for animals isn’t new—his family’s Jamnagar estate is home to a massive animal rescue and rehabilitation center. But the timing and theatrics of this rescue have certainly fueled curiosity. Was it a spontaneous act of kindness, or was it carefully staged for spiritual branding?
Regardless of the intent, one thing is clear—whether it’s billion-dollar business deals or chicken rescues, if an Ambani does it, the world takes notice.
