Anant Ambani health: Why did Mukesh Ambani, Nita Ambani’s son regain weight after losing 108 kgs?

Mukesh Ambani and Nita Ambani's youngest son is all set to get married to Radhika Merchant, daughter of industrialist Viren Merchant. The celebrations will continue on Saturday, July 13, with Shubh Aashirwad. The final event, Mangal Utsav, or the wedding reception, is scheduled for Sunday, July 14.  

In an interview with TOI, Nita Ambani said that Anant Ambani “was highly asthmatic so we had to put him on a lot of steroids.” The use of steroids resulted in weight gain. In addition, Anant has battled health problems like obesity since she was a young child and once weighed more than 200 kg.

However, Anant Ambani grabbed attention when he dropped a staggering 108 kgs in just 18 months. His weight loss journey inspired many to adopt a healthy lifestyle. According to reports, he used to work out for five to six hours each day to do this. We covered yoga, weight training, functional training, walking 21 kilometres, and cardio. Anant followed a low-fat, high-protein, low-carb, and sugar-free diet and dropped weight as a result. He ate a daily total of 1200–1400 calories.

How Anant Ambani struggled from weight gain due to steroids from asthma treatment

At a recent pre-wedding event in Jamnagar, Gujarat, Anant Ambani, moved many to tears with his heartfelt speech. Speaking openly about his lifelong health struggles and the unconditional support from his parents, Anant shared his journey battling health challenges alongside his soon-to-be-wife, Radhika Merchant.

Anant thanked his mother Nita Ambani at the start of his heartfelt speech. He also courageously disclosed the health issues that he had struggled with since he was a little child and praised his parents' unwavering support. "I have faced many health crises since childhood but my father and mother have never let me feel it," he stated.

During Anant's speech, Mukesh Ambani was seen in tears. Anant's candid revelation shed light on the challenges he has faced.

Anant's battle with obesity has been widely reported, attributed to the use of steroids to manage his chronic asthma. According to his mother Nita Ambani, Anant gained a lot of weight because of the prolonged steroid treatment his asthma required. This weight gain, a common side effect of long-term steroid use, posed additional challenges for him.

Anant lost a remarkably 108 kg in just 18 months, maintaining a healthy lifestyle while managing his critical asthma condition proved to be a struggle. 

Since he needed steroids to treat his asthma, he struggled with weight management because steroids alter the body's metabolism, which increases appetite and causes weight gain.

In addition to providing insight into Anant's personal path, his brave confession brought attention to the difficulties in managing long-term medical ailments.
