Meet Mukesh Ambani and Anil Ambani's brother-in-law Dattaraj Salgaocar, owns properties worth crores in...., Virat Kohli was once his....
Mukesh Ambani and every move he makes in the business world often becomes headline news. However, there are a few members of his extended family, related to him by blood, who choose to stay away from the media spotlight. One such member is Deepti Salgaocar, who lives in Goa with her husband Dattaraj Salgaocar. Their sweet love story began in the Usha Kiran, the city's sole skyscraper at the time. Both the families, Ambanis and Salgaocars, lived in Usha Kiran on Carmichael Road. While Ambanis stayed on the 22nd floor and Dattaraj Salgaocar was on the 14th floor. After Vasudev Salgaocar, the head of the Salgaocar family, passed away, Dhirubhai Ambani stepped in as a guiding presence for several family members. Among them was Dattaraj Salgaocar, who was close in age to Dhirubhai's son Mukesh. Raj looked up to Dhirubhai as a mentor and often sought his counsel during important moments in his life. While speaking to Mumbai-based daily DNA, Raj shared,' I met Deepti, we fell in love and told our families, who agreed [with the relationship] immediately.' He added, 'It was the first wedding in her family, but the last wedding in mine, because I am the youngest of seven children.' The couple tied the knot in 1983. Beyond leading the V. M. Salgaocar Corporation, active in hospitality, real estate, education, and more, Dattaraj Salgaocar has also turned his personal passions into thriving ventures. A lifelong lover of sports and the arts, he worked closely with the BCCI, GCA, and FC Goa, and went on to establish the Salgaocar Cricket Club in Goa. Sunaparanta Goa Centre for the Arts was founded in 2009 as a not-for-profit, process-based arts foundation by Dipti and Dattaraj V. Salgaocar with the vision to nurture, preserve and promote the artistic and cultural legacies of Goa through collections and archives; to encourage, sponsor and promote innovative work in the visual arts to serve as a bridge between the Goan art community and the national and international art communities; to provide mentoring and resource support to art students and others who want to learn about art. Formed in 1974, the Salgaocar Cricket Club has emerged as one of the top cricket teams in Goa. The Club has become a legitimate breeding ground for some of the top local talent playing the gentleman's game, which has touched millions of lives in our cricket-crazy country. Over the years, the Club's team has regularly won all major tournaments like GCA Premier Division, Bandodkar Trophy, Dhargalkar Trophy and has stamped its dominance on Goan cricket. In 2010, during the maiden edition of the Goa Premier League, the Club won both the formats, the GPL-T20, and the GPL- 3-day league. In 2012, it repeated the double and then went on to complete a historic treble by winning the Bandodkar Trophy.
