Nita Ambani told TOI in 2017 that Anant “was highly asthmatic, so we had to put him on a lot of steroids,” adding that “he suffers from obesity.”

“We are still fighting obesity,” Nita Ambani said in the same interview. There are many children with this, and mothers are hesitant to admit it. But, as the child looks up to you, I believe you must motivate him or her to lose weight. We both went to a children’s obesity hospital in Los Angeles for a while so I could get into a routine with him.”
