Interestingly, this surpasses even Mukesh Ambani, who holds about 0.12 per cent of the company, as per the Economic Times reports
The wife of Reliance founder late Dhirubhai Ambani and mother to Mukesh Ambani and Anil Ambani, Kokilaben’s role in shaping the family legacy goes far beyond her financial holdings
After Dhirubhai died in 2002, she played a pivotal role in resolving the bitter rift between her sons, overseeing the division of the Reliance empire and ensuring stability within the business as per the reports
Born in an era when women’s education was often limited, Kokilaben studied up to class 10. Dhirubhai later arranged for her to learn English through a private tutor, equipping her to confidently engage in social and cultural circles
Over the years, she has emerged as a respected figure who not only preserved the family’s legacy but also continues to remain a symbol of strength and authority within the Ambani clan
According to sources, Kokilaben Ambani was hospitalised due to age-related illnesses and is under the care of senior doctors
Details about her health condition are yet to be disclosed, and the Ambani family has not issued an official statement so far
