Stylist Esha L Amin shared a part of the speech on her Instagram story. “To my mother, my role model who paved the way for me,” Isha Ambani says in her acceptance speech. She continues, “I always tell her, ‘mom, thank you for walking, so I could run.’ So, really this is because of her. So, this is a dedication to my mother.”
“I would like to dedicate this award to my daughter, Aadiya, who inspires me every day to do more and do better,” reportedly, Isha Ambani also thanked her daughter in her speech. Film producer, designer, and wife of Shah Rukh Khan Gauri Khan and fashion designer Manish Malhotra are also seen on the stage beside Isha Ambani.
In an interview earlier this year, she opened up about giving birth to her twins, daughter Aadiya Shakti and son Krishna, through IVF (in-vitro fertilization). She followed in her mother Nita Amabni’s footsteps, who also gave birth to her twins, Akash Amabni and Isha Ambani, through IVF. “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.
Launched in 2007, the event celebrates “the trailblazing women who are excelling in their respective fields.” Isha Ambani received this year’s award at a gala event in Mumbai on Saturday.
