On Sunday, Anil Ambani issued a statement calling for truce with his estranged elder brother Mukesh Ambani. The younger Ambani says in the statement that he is making fresh efforts for reconciliation after invoking the blessings of Lord Shiva by visiting the holy shrines of Kedarnath and Badrinath.

The best part of Anil Ambani's truce statement reads as:

Yet, throughout this very trying period, I have maintained the greatest of love, affection and respect for Mukeshbhai - as I have done since my birth.

What would have Anil Ambani told his elder brother the very next day of his birth? I guess this: "I love and respect you, Mukeshbhai." Wish I had such a nice younger brother.



Sadly, Mukesh Ambani doesn't seem to believe Anil. This is what a statement issued by Reliance Industries Ltd (RIL) in response to the truce statement said:

What is both saddening and perplexing is that Anil Ambani has yet again sought to communicate to RIL and its chairman through the public domain, whereas he could have easily contacted his elder brother directly. In order to demonstrate that his intentions behind the latest overture are bonafide, we urge Anil Ambani to put his sentiments into actions.

Poor shareholders. They need to be ready for some fluctuation in the stock prices of Reliance firms. Kokilaben, kuchh to karo. Maine to dono ki companyon me inbhest kiya hai na.
