“In my childhood, I thought that I would never marry. I used to tell this to my parents always because I was busy serving my animals,” he told Rahul Kanwal of India Today.

He was interviewing Anant in a Safari truck in Jamnagar, Gujrat on Friday. Top global celebrities donned “jungle fever” outfits in India for a trip to the zoo on Saturday as part of a party thrown by Asia’s richest man.

The three-day pre-wedding ceremony for Anant and fiancee Radhika Merchant, the daughter of wealthy pharmaceutical moguls, started on Friday.

Pop star Rihanna, Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, Donald Trump’s daughter Ivanka, and many Bollywood stars are among the rich and famous guests who jetted in for a three-day gala celebration hosted by billionaire tycoon Mukesh Ambani.

In the interview, Anant said that his wife-to-be was like her and loved animals. “I am lucky for sure. She is the person of my dreams because of what I thought,” he said and added that Radhika had been with him during his difficult times.
