Sunny Leone a true Canadian DESI now back in India !.
I mean no offense: Except for those seeking thrill in the gossip columns of the media, or those connected with business and industry, it's no big deal if the son of Anil Ambani gets introduced to the business leaders, goes to Wharton or Yale, or whatever.
I don't mean to be cynical- there is nothing but gossip value in this news. I would be proud to hear if some kid from the slums of Dharavi became a business leader, got accepted at Harvard business school or became a world class entrepreneur. When you have all the cozy comforts of a billion dollar home and billion dollar empire to back your dreams, it's no big deal if Anil Ambani's son went to Wharton.
For Economic Times to flash the video around the world, makes business sense. I have been in the media long enough, to know the \"quid pro quo\" that is essentially one of the pillars of business there.
If any of you are interested in knowing about the rise of the Ambani family, read the book \"the polyester prince\" by Hamish McDonald. The book is banned in India, and is rarely available even abroad. A few websites carry the online copies. One of them is:

Happy reading!
Not sure if you trying to say good or bad thing about Dhirubai Ambani
I have hard copy as well soft copy of above mention book
Its really well written book & even if 1% of what written is fact,
you can't take away a credit from Dhirubai Ambani
He build an empire from zero & see where is Reliance now !
His two sons are one of Billionairs in world
If he will not do ( Dhirubai ), somebody will do or already doing
But how many succeded ?
Its nothing but HARD WORK & Dedication which finally Works
Hats off to Ambani !
M 2611: I think you would have heard this before :
It is not about how hard you work, but how SMART you work. That said, The Ambanis are no doubt smart, dedicated and consequently rich.
As for how many have succeeded through hard work, vision and determination, there are many - you just need to Google and you will come across scores of people in this category.
Just one question and I ask this out of sheer curiosity, nothing more - why did the Ambanis get the book (the polyester prince by Hamish McDonald) banned in India?
I am not sure why Ambani got this book banned for that matter I am not sure even if HE got it banned. The book talks about certain things which maligns the image of Dhirubhai. Some facts can never be proven. So take him for what he was and respect him for his achievements.
I have read the book and found it very interesting and inspiring. A man can rise from such levels is indeed very inspiring.
Iceberg: I just did some research as to who was behind the ban of the book "the polyester prince"
Answer: the Ambani family.
According to THE HINDU, of 5th December 2004. "Patriarch Dhirubhai Ambani charmed the media in a way that is worthy of a full scale case study. It was written too, in the form of a book by a foreign correspondent which the family moved swiftly to ban from being sold in India. The ban remains in place"......

BTW, no one especially me, underestimates the value of success. Haven't you heard of the old proverb "nothing succeeds like success"?
