The short video shows the Reliance Industries chairman immersed in the match atmosphere, grabbing a bite of Mumbai’s favourite street snack as spectators cheer around him. The moment has resonated strongly online, with many viewers praising the billionaire for enjoying a humble delicacy despite his enormous wealth.

One user wrote, "It just goes to show that no matter how high you climb, the roots (and the street food) stay with you. A billionaire eating a Vada Pav isn't just about simplicity; it’s a nod to the soul of Mumbai. Authenticity always wins!" (sic)

Another wrote, "He is that fellow who often goes to near ICT campus to eat dosa from a single shop (that reminds him his B.tech time). Even in big conferences, he typically eats simple Indian food and doesn’t ask for any special food particularly made for him." (sic)

A third user wrote, "India’s richest man: “Bhai ek vada pav aur extra mirchi dena.” Proof that no matter how rich you get… desi soul still runs on ₹20 street food." (sic)

Luxury on One Side, Simplicity on the Other

With a net worth estimated at over $90 billion, Ambani lives in the iconic Antilia, a 27-storey private residence in Mumbai reportedly valued at around ₹15,000 crore. The building features multiple helipads, a private theatre, luxury lounges and a massive garage capable of housing more than a hundred vehicles.

Despite such extraordinary opulence, Ambani has often been associated with moments of simplicity—whether attending cricket matches with family or enjoying local food favourites. The viral video reinforces this image, showing that even the world’s wealthiest personalities appreciate everyday pleasures.

Vada Pav: Mumbai’s Iconic Street Snack

The snack Ambani was seen eating is none other than vada pav, a beloved Maharashtrian fast-food staple. It consists of a deep-fried potato fritter placed inside a soft bread bun and served with spicy chutneys and fried green chillies.

The dish originated in Mumbai during the 1960s and became popular among textile mill workers because it was inexpensive, filling and easy to eat on the go.

Over the decades, it has evolved into one of India’s most recognisable street foods and is often described as the city’s unofficial “burger.”
