Shah Rukh Khan lauds Anant Ambani as PM Modi inaugurates Vantara: ‘Keep it up beta’

Animals deserve love, and they need protection and care… for their health & that of our planet.
PM @narendramodi’s presence at Vantara reinforces the importance of this.

Shah Rukh reposted the tweet on Wednesday, adding his own two cents. “Animals deserve love, and they need protection and care… for their health & our planet. PM @narendramodi’s presence at Vantara reinforces the importance of this. The purity of a person’s heart is directly proportional to their love for animals. Vantara and Anant’s commitment of providing a sanctuary to unfortunate animals is a testament to that. Keep it up Beta (son),” Shah Rukh wrote in the caption.

Shah Rukh famously visited Vantara exactly a year ago, to attend the pre-wedding celebrations of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant. He was seen dancing on the stage with Aamir Khan and Salman Khan. Later, he also grooved to his popular track Chammak Challo from his 2011 superhero film Ra.One. American singer Akon performed the song live, with Shah Rukh, his wife Gauri Khan, and their daughter Suhana Khan by his side on the stage. Shah Rukh also attended Anant and Radhika’s wedding later in the year in Mumbai.

About Vantara

It received the ‘Prani Mitra’ National Award in the corporate category from the Animal Welfare Board of India. Spread across 3,000 acres, Vantara is situated in the Reliance Jamnagar Refinery Complex, which completed 25 years in 2024 since its inception in 1999. Vantara was initiated and is managed by Anant Ambani, the son of Reliance Industries Chairperson Mukesh Ambani and Reliance Foundation Chairperson Nita Ambani.

Highlights of Vantara

Vantara boasts of a 600-acre property dedicated only to elephants. It has a giant elephant jacuzzi to treat arthritis and a hospital dedicated to the tuskers, with hyperbaric oxygen chambers and laser machines in place. There’s another hospital and medical research centre, spread across 1 lakh square feet, that is equipped with sophisticated facilities like MRI, X-ray, ICU, CT scan, and video conferencing for surgeries. The animal enclosures have been planned scientifically with the inclusion of Hydrotherapy pools and several water bodies.
