With 60 as the brand new 40, and 80 as the brand new 60, and… you get the image, not solely are the occasions, however even ‘ages’ they’re a-changin’. And nobody has made this visibly extra apparent than the woman in pink – t-shirt – denims and pumps, holding a soccer as a substitute of a puja thaali, flanked by 4 strapping footballers who appeared in a full-front web page advert in ET on Saturday telling us with a flashbulb smile to observe the ultimate of this season’s India Tremendous League – Nita Ambani.
At 59 and counting, Ambani, in her ISL ‘Let’s Soccer!’ tee and glossy black hair, appears to be like extra ‘within the league’ than selling it as its chairperson. Making the cool, sporty grandma to Prithvi, the two-year-old little one of Mukesh and Nita’s eldest son Akash Ambani and Shloka Mehta, the poster lady for the brand new, age-defying soccer grandmom.
And this isn’t nearly how she appears to be like half her age, however how she is what she appears to be like – placing herself within the centre of a area not normally conjuring up grannies: sports activities, that too a fast-paced, fitness-is-crucial contact sport like soccer. This positive ain’t tambola on the membership on Sundays.
A lot of the philanthropist and businesswoman’s ‘what you see’ quotient boils all the way down to ‘what you get’ when one pays particular consideration to 2 issues one does not normally affiliate with grandparents: a health and weight-reduction plan regime, far faraway from the cliched check-ups and physiotherapy. Exercises and gymming will not be thought-about common daadi actions, however Ambani is tangible proof that one can ‘push again the ages’ if one places one’s thoughts to retaining the physique shipshape. Swimming, dancing, yoga, together with common intakes of fruits, seeds and reportedly two glasses of beetroot juice on daily basis make for one natty nan. #Let’sDaadi!
