Nita Ambani has earlier spoken about conceiving with the help of IVF, saying she was left shattered when a doctor told her she would never be able to give birth. “Here I was at the age of 23 being told that I would never conceive. I was shattered. However, with the help of Dr Firuza Parikh, who is one of my closest friends, I first conceived my twins!” she said in an interview a few years ago. “Difficult process”Like her mother, Isha Ambani doesn’t shy away from the topic either. “I’m very quick to say that my twins were conceived via IVF because that’s how we’ll normalise it, right?” she told Vogue India. “Nobody should feel isolated or ashamed. It’s a difficult process. When you’re going through it, you’re physically exhausted,” the Ambani heiress added. Isha Ambani is the only daughter of Reliance Industries chairman Mukesh Ambani and his wife, Nita Ambani. She married Anand Piramal in December 2018. The couple welcomed their twins on November 19, 2022. They were chrened Aadiya Shakti and Krishna. “If there is modern technology in the world today, why not use it to have children?” Isha asks. “It should be something you’re excited about, not something you should have to hide. If you can find support groups or other women to talk to, the process can feel much easier.” On the importance of female friendshipsWhile on the subject of female friendships, Isha Ambani also opened up about her close relationship with her ser-in-law, Shloka Mehta Ambani. Isha, her twin Akash and Shloka grew up studying at the same school. “I was very lucky that the person who my brother decided to marry was my best friend, Shloka,” she told Vogue India. “Shloka became like my ser as we grew up. Even right now, we’re sharing the house in London and we joke that we’re actually married to each other because both Akash and Anand are in Mumbai and we’re here with the kids,” she added. Isha was also asked about her relationship with Radhika Merchant, soon-to-be wife of her younger brother, Anant Ambani. “Anant has always been like the ba figure in my life, someone whom I’ve doted on, so I look at Radhika with a mothering eye. My mum, Shloka and Radhika are my closest confidantes and my first line of friends,” she told Vogue India.
