Ambani family mourns the loss of their pet Happy, Anant and Radhika pay tribute to the youngest member of the house
The Ambani family is currently mourning the loss of one of their most loved and youngest members, Happy, their golden retriever, who passed away on April 30. Known for his warm personality and presence at several key family celebrations, Happy held a special place in the hearts of the Ambanis.
Pet Happy was spotted during important events of the family
Happy became a familiar and endearing figure to the public after videos of him during the Ambani family festivities went viral online. His friendly demeanour and affectionate nature made him a favourite among guests and family members alike. Happy had also made appearances at important events such as the engagement and wedding rituals of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant, where he was spotted at the mandap and in the official family portraits.
The news of his demise was first shared by the paparazzi accounts Viral Bhayani, and Instant Bollywood.
Anant Ambani, the youngest son of Mukesh and Nita Ambani, is known for his deep love for animals. He has previously established a large animal conservation and rehabilitation centre in Jamnagar, Gujarat. It is evident that animals are a core part of his life, and Happy was no exception.
Ambani family paid tribute to their pet
Following Happy's passing, the Ambani family paid an emotional tribute to their beloved companion. A poster was created in Happy's memory, expressing their grief and love. The message read, 'Dear Happy, you will forever be a part of us and live on in our hearts. Heaven's gain is our loss.' The tribute was accompanied by a floral arrangement placed around Happy's photograph as the family paid their final respects.
Happy was the ring bearer of Anant and Radhika's engagement
Happy was not just part of the family emotionally but also featured in their celebratory moments in a special way. For Anant and Radhika's engagement, he was the ring bearer, dressed in a custom-designed pink Banarasi silk brocade jacket created by Pannkh Designer Pet Wear, an Ahmedabad-based label. His presence added warmth and joy to the grand celebrations.
While Happy is no longer physically present, his memory remains deeply embedded in the family's life and public memories. The loss of a pet is often as profound as losing a family member, and for the Ambanis, Happy was truly both.

David Byrne announces new album 'Who Is the Sky?', unveils 2025 world tour plans
David Byrne has revealed details of his first new solo album in six years. Titled 'Who Is the Sky?', the album is set to be released on September 5 through Matador Records. This marks Byrne's return to recording since his critically acclaimed American Utopia in 2018. The album was produced by Grammy-winning producer Kid Harpoon, best known for his work with Harry Styles and Miley Cyrus. It features 12 songs arranged by the New York-based chamber group Ghost Train Orchestra. Special guest appearances include St. Vincent, Hayley Williams of Paramore, and The Smile's drummer Tom Skinner. The first single, 'Everybody Laughs,' is already available along with its official video directed by multimedia artist Gabriel Barcia-Colombo. Speaking about the track, Byrne said, 'I often use the word 'everybody' to reflect life in New York. Everybody laughs, cries, and stares at the ceiling. The song touches on these things in a way that still feels uplifting.' Producer Kid Harpoon added, 'It took time to realise how personal these songs are. David has a unique way of seeing the world, and it comes through in every track.' Byrne will also return to the stage with a new live show to support the album. The touring group includes 13 performers – musicians, singers, and dancers – many of whom were part of the celebrated 'American Utopia' show that toured globally and was adapted for Broadway and HBO by Spike Lee.

Virat Kohli's Brother Vikas Reacts To Rahul Vaidya's Blocking Row: ‘Isse Achha Singing Pe Dhyan Dete'
Last Updated: Singer Rahul Vaidya opens up about being blocked by Virat Kohli and reveals how Vikas Kohli reacted to the controversy involving Avneet Kaur. The tension between singer Rahul Vaidya and cricketer Virat Kohli made headlines recently, sparking online buzz and fan backlash. The issue began when Rahul hinted that the RCB champion had liked a post featuring actress Avneet Kaur, prompting a response that shook social media. Rahul later claimed that Virat blocked him following the comment, and also alleged that the cricketer's fans targeted his family – including his wife and daughter – with abusive messages. Now, in a recent chat with Instant Bollywood, Rahul has opened up further about the fallout. He shared that Virat's brother, Vikas Kohli, personally reached out to him after the incident and expressed displeasure about his public remarks involving the Indian cricket star. Rahul recalled, 'After the incident, his brother had said some things to me. 'Isse accha aap apni singing pe dhyaan dijiye.' He is the same Vikas Kohli who had met me outside a stadium in Manchester and praised my singing. But I know how it feels because these small controversies also have an impact on the person's family. He did not like whatever was happening, and that's the reason he said all these things to me." Reflecting on what Vikas said, the singer added, ''Aap kyu Virat ke baare mein bol rahe ho? Aap kyu publicity le rahe ho?' He said something like this, I don't remember the exact words. Then he said, 'Isse achha toh aap apne singing pe dhyan dete.' I know Vikas is a good guy, and I have not taken anything he said to my heart. Because the problem is that people just want to react without even knowing what the matter is." For those unfamiliar, the drama began when Rahul commented on Virat allegedly liking a social media post related to Avneet Kaur. Things escalated when Rahul revealed he was blocked by Kohli and became the target of fan outrage, including verbal attacks aimed at his loved ones. This ongoing back-and-forth has drawn mixed reactions online, with many weighing in on whether celebrities should call each other out publicly or handle matters privately.
