Marriages are made-in-heaven and there is no better feeling than marrying the one you fell in love with. And Dhirubhai Ambani’s daughter, Deepti Salgaoncar is the perfect example of the same as she had tied the knot with the one she fell head-over-heels in love with 37 years ago. Being a typical Mumbaikar, marrying Duttaraj and settling in Goa was an alien task for her but she had managed everything beautifully. And for all these, she credits her father, Dhirubhai Ambani as she had got all of the qualities as a legacy from her late father, Dhirubhai Ambani.

Duttaraj Salgaoncar is a big businessman just like his late father, Vasudev Salgaoncar, hails from Saligao in North Goa. He is the owner and Managing Director of V.M. Salgaocar Group of Companies and is also the owner of Goa’s famous football club, ‘Salgaoncar’. The Ambanis and Salgaoncars were the popular business tycoons in 1970s and were family friends as well. It was love at first sight for Duttaraj, who was a frequent visitor at the Ambani’s. After a courtship of five years, Deepti and Raj had gotten married on December 31, 1983.
On the occasion of Deepti and Duttaraj’s 37th wedding anniversary, Deepti’s bhabhi, Tina Ambani penned an adorable wish for the lovely couple. She took to her IG handle and shared an adorable picture with Deepti and Duttaraj and penned a lovely wish for them. Her wish can be read as “Adored family, fabulous friends, a wonderful and warm couple! Dipti and Raj, here's wishing you a blessed, healthy, happy anniversary and countless years of love and togetherness.”
On December 27, 2020, Tina Ambani had taken to her Instagram handle and had posted a couple of unseen pictures with Deepti Salgaonkar's family to wish her daughter, Isheta Salgaonkar.

In an interview with the DNA, Raj had revealed whether their marriage was a coming together of two big business houses and had stated, “Actually, it wasn’t, because we had a love marriage. I was in Mumbai to study, and lived at Usha Kiran building where the Ambanis also lived. Mukesh and I are the same age and we were good friends. So was Anil, who is two years younger than us. I met Dipti, we fell in love and told our families, who agreed immediately. It was the first wedding in her family, but the last wedding in mine, because I am the youngest of seven children.”
Deepti and Raj are parents to two lovely kids, Isheta Salgaoncar and Vikram Salgaoncar. Both the kids were very close to their grandfather, Dhirubhai Ambani. Vikram is a graduate from Wharton Business School. Isheta, who has an interest in Journalism and Arts had gotten married to bigshot diamond jewellery designer, Nirav Modi’s younger brother, Neeshal Modi on December 4, 2016.
