New Delhi: Anil and Tina Ambani’s older son Jai Anmol seems to be having something of an ‘Alia Bhatt moment’.
The 29-year-old director of Reliance Capital, who has on multiple occasions been described as ‘a media shy billionaire’, seems to have abandoned his reticence and taken to Twitter to voice his opinions on masks, Covid vaccine and the disease in general.
The Warwick University graduate, with just over 27,000 followers on Twitter, made headlines Wednesday after his tweets slamming the Maharashtra government’s lockdown went viral.
“Professional ‘actors’ can continue shooting their films. Professional ‘cricketers’ can play their sport late into the night. Professional ‘politicians’ can continue their rallies with masses of people. But YOUR business or work is not ESSENTIAL. Still don’t get it?” he wrote.

The younger Ambani also called the government’s initiative “a sinister plan”, which has nothing to do with the welfare of the people and used the hashtag ‘scamdemic’.
Covid is the new dogmatic religious cult of our times

Lockdown realities
Jai Anmol Ambani does have a point questioning the lockdown when Indian medical experts on several occasions have questioned the lockdown and deemed it to be detrimental to the well being of the country’s already poor performing economy.
A study conducted by Indian researchers also said that ramping up Covid-19 testing is more beneficial and much more economically feasible than imposing lockdowns to tackle the pandemic.
But Ambani hasn’t stopped there. He also gave a ringing endorsement to anti-masking and boasted of his stance as an anti-vaxxer (people who disapprove of the use of vaccinations).
On his Twitter timeline are retweets of videos of comedian and self-confessed former drug addict Russel Brand, sporting a rudraksha mala, talking about how the treatment of Covid is “possibly a collaboration between government and pharma companies that benefit the both from a legal and administrative perspective”.
Another retweet is from American economic writer Jeffery Tucker, who was previously embroiled in a controversy for writing a racist magazine which characterised African Americans as crime-prone “animals”.
In his tweet Tucker called those favouring lockdowns humans “dancing to the devil”.

Billionaire unmasked
Ambani propagated his anti-vaccine views by retweeting sports psychologist and author Garret Kramer. Kramer has in multiple tweets questioned the Covid-19 vaccine and called people going for it “herd for slaughter”.
“Masks are a compliance test. Vaccines are an IQ test. Do your own research. Come to your own conclusions. Don’t just blindly follow the crowd. Take your health and life in your own hands. No ones coming to save us except ourselves,” Jai tweeted on 7 March.
As a new Covid wave in the country sees the number of daily cases cross 1 lakh – the highest in the world currently – and governments and doctors promote wearing masks following social distancing norms, this public icon, relying on conspiracy theories and propagating them, is simply a step in the wrong direction.
This report has been updated to accurately quote Jai Anmol Ambani in the headline. The error is regretted.

Are you worried about people do some help.stop stupidemic
My advice you and your family never visit any hospital you people got more IQ and think logically. You need not advice the nation, first under what capacity you are making such remarks, it’s against covid19 norms. Your assumption will not work here. Please mind your business if you still have any and don’t pay media to post such baseless information.
This is STUPIDEMIC.
Basically covid-19 is a HOAX, a Myth and foolish peoples game on others health and lively hood.
People like you are also a part of this game.
Due to more unwanted knowledge and money, whole world has became a EDUCATED ILLITERATES. Everyone is an educated person without BRAIN? with lose of thoughts.
Mask is a waste. Persons who weared masks all time are in the hospital ? or in the grave yard⚰️.
THINK ? ……
When all the human beings have a total bath by using tonnes of soap and water ? sofar nearly more than an year, HOW DOES THE CORONA VIRUS IS STILL EXISTS?
THINK ?…….
Wore
Were you born Dumb or, did you hit something on your head
My cousin expired yesterday due to Covid. He was only 50+. Had no other medical issues.
Science and tech and related disciplines are never wrong, simply because they are functions of far lesser number of parameters as compared to other disciplines.We are perfectly on the right path following the path of very very fast vaccination;mask as a partial vaccination and social distancing.
Father ate up people’s money and declared bankrupt. Same people’s money used to educate you. You people enjoy luxury villas, cars with people’s money, twist the rules and get favoured in business deals, I am still waiting to get back at least invested money in your company but you have no problem getting education abroad and enjoying your life, now you have stepped into giving advice to people. The advice is of dooms day, bravo beta, jio India can survive without your advice.
The population of the world is increasing. But sources are limited. The higher ones want to eradicate higher numbers. And they have found a way. Others are cashing in on the big opportunity. And no one wants to tell the truth. But the truth will unveil itself. You will know the truth in the coming years. God bless all. Those who created because they are ignorant and those who suffered. May god bless all.
What a piece of trash journalism
The problem is with u also, why such news highlighted by u people. He is neither a celebrity nor he has any knowledge about medical science. U just wasting your time to focus on such news.
You are right Mr.Anmol Ambani it’s scamdemic
Family feuds often bring out the dirtiest truths. Being the one and only family running the country for past 30 or 40 yrs , they know a lot we dont know. Just because jai is son of Anil who is bankrupt we cant just ward off what he is saying. What you need to know is author knowingly or unknowingly hinting that calling out scandemic, global coup etc he is rekindling the feud, why when comment on pandemic or vaccine would be rekindling the feud?. Anyway i stand with Jai.
All game plan of bill gates fekuram icmr who
Lmao and these are the so called ‘wealth creators’ that will propel India into the future. These are the people who will manage and provide for millions of Indians ? , these people with such IQ will lead us to to slaughter
Anmol could be wrong. Could someone please explain what is happening in kumbh Mela now a days. There are media who are boasting on the attendance as a record high. Wake up guys. No doubt, you people’s are called as Andh bhakts. Where do you so called smart guys leave your mind when it comes to logical thinking.
I expect someone answering, Because it is kumbh and Shahi snan, it is by default a covid proof area. Just like painting ones house with cow dung will be covid proof.
With having such illogical leaders and followers, common man is suffering from lockdowns. A man with no family can never understand the trials and tribulations faced by a family man to look after his family. Though he can act as a messiah and even shed some crocodile tears in the media.
Most of the people of our country don’t think logically and reasonably so their minds have got rusted and lost their thinking ability.
Why would you publish such things. Are you looking at backlinks and viewership? You need to redefine journalism. High time you journalists realise that ‘Dog Bites Man’ is not always news. Grow up and stop giving such stupidity importance.
Seems like the Ambanis are letting out their frustrations in not being able to establish themselves in the pharmaceutical (vaccine) industry. They never learn until the disease hits them bad. Such posts should be pulled down by Twitter authorities themselves. While the whole world is at war against the virus that is evolving so fast these people and their posts will do no good. Just thinking how these toxic people would respond if the covid was more like a crippling disease like polio. These rich guys would ensure they get the shots first before bringing out the antivaccine propaganda
Sellout journalist. “Alia Bhatt moment”. This isn’t journalism. This is partisan agenda and is clearly visible. It’s obvious the author is trying to discredit Anmol by comparing him to Alia. For how much did you sell your soul author ? Hope it was worth it.
He is bein an idiot and you are being a bigger idiot by supporting the rich idiot.
Discredit,.. Whom? Some halfwit moron who inherited his wealth from his father who in turn inherited from his father. If it wasn’t for his surname no one would care writing a article about him.
3 million people infected half a million dead global economy has taken a huge blow and then u have this delusional son of a billionare too out of touch with reality
One more billioner son proving again that common sense is not reserved for the privileged.
Inspite of high quality education which comes with a huge price tag this person got zero common sense. Believe your parents must be cursing the day they decided to give you the best education, The amount of money spend on your education could have be better utilized to educate a big district in India.
All around you see death, pain and trillion of dollars in wealth lost caused due to the pandemic but here is a guy who feels this is a bigger game plan to control the world.
You have no human value, no principle, have no sympathy for the lives lost, cannot emphatice with the plight of the common man.
My humble advise please spend a few years with the poor and challenged population of this country.
If you are so confident on what you said then offer your service to a covid hospital in Mumbai without your mask, sanitizer and PPE and prove your point.
Well done sir
. His worry is not able make money out of covid. Don’t worry, the big boss take care of you and your embassy…
First think this is a deadly virus or a virus is made to dead. If your point is right then people should recover at hospitals more but the scenario is different, people are dieing in hospitals more and recovering better in home quarantine. WHO and ICMR are changing character of this virus every day so if they are not sure abt the virus character after 1.5 years then what is their treatment protocol. They are making fake treatment protocol and the vaccine. This is really a scamdemic. I also have had vivid in the month of August 2020. My baby was 1.3 years then, we recovered well with only paracetamol and complete test of 15 days.
I totally agree with Madhu Menon. The Anil Ambani scion comes across as a totally ignorant, arrogant and irresponsible person. What and who is he taking on? The combined wisdom of scientists, members of the medical fraternity and administrators and the stark reality of millions succumbing to Covid. Or are all the deaths also staged? Can an immature puny brained one stand against this?
Also agree with an earlier comment that it is you media who are responsible for projecting imbecile nonentities on the national stage. Such fatuous proclamations are best ignored.
I agree.

When you’re positive and take vaccine, nothing is going to work.
It won’t protect you completely, the severity and rate of transmission decreases. To be frank, we to live with covid our entire lives. It won’t go! But we need time to get used to it/get herd immunity. Till then, we should follow the norms and get vaccinated

We have been made slaves in our own free country in a matter of couple of years…..N we the people are only responsible for this mess…We need Brave and Correct journalism to get over this now ……
Thanks to print, such stupid news gets printed.
Refrain from this nonsense.
Anil Ambani is the real scamster.
Covid is real and harder than ever.
So many have lost lives and health care workers are at risk to themselves and their family.
Ask this stupid fellow to come and serve in covid ICU.
His maintenance cost is on us.
Amnol is saying truth.
Rubbish
Well done Anmol Ambani. You guts yo speak trutth. Most of the professional , journalist and politicians are well known of the truth but they cant have gut to speak truth.
Anmol you are Great…
Covid is and has been made a business in India and world wide,,,,it is tightly said ,money is been made left right and centre
Bad journalism ..
This type of thinking will Kill people .In pademic those who donot follow norms will be or Killed example can be seen in America ,Maharashtra.By following norms or CAB we defeated Corona but such type of thinking bring it back and given risk to whole Indian community and disappointment amoung health worriers.So same on such type of free jourmalism who donot bother about our country men.Time is to persuade people to follow SOP but these people takes mind of people in wrong direction.
You are biggest fool.
Dr Minakshi: India has not defeated CORONA.
His chicha ambani increased his wealth manyfolds in lockdown. Dead bodies have became a common sight. Hospitals are overwhelmed not only with patients but with corpses also.
“Covid is a global coup”
Yeah bit*h, all of these government of different countries decided to f*ck themselves. Lost trillions of dollars in past year. Millions lost lives….but yeah for this 29 year old retard everything is planned so he particularly can’t do business.
Anmol is doing the job which is expected by media persons. Can author tell why people are not dying in West Bengal where lakhs of people are gathering in election rallies. Dear author remember ‘you are also going to suffer due to this plandemic’.
THIS IS THE TIME FOR A DEEP CONCERN AND DEEP THOUGHT.
Health workers who were vaccinated became covid+ that itself lays a shadow over the authenticity and effect of the vaccine in india or they have just taken the random shots water filled vaccine. There is a new Corona economy and Corona business model already in place. Patient now are being manipulated as per government directions people are now chasing vaccines and there seems to be a artificial shortage created to keep prices and demand rising importing vaccines is banned while local vaccines credibility are in absolute doubts 176 people have succumbed to the antidotes side effects nobody is taking responsibility. All stake holders are either from the government side or the government itself no state representative is involved in decision making whether BJP or non BJP one guy seems to press the trigger regardless of the consequences good or bad. There is part conspiracy and part politicsagainst the people this facts cannot be denied.
Be unbiased atleast for the nation. No vaccine guarantees an infection shield . It only give you acquired immunity aginst a disease so that it doesn’t prove fatal in future. People even today get hepatitis , measles, cholera but the immunization done during childhood reduces the fatality of the infection to high extent. This acquired immunity may also transfer itself to later generations in form of innate immunity resulting in complete eradication of the disease.
By the way cases of reinfection has been observed in multiple (all the countries with vaccination programmes) ,look at china ,US , Russia etc. You by your words only sound anti-national and anti-BJP and thus dont want the economy and well being of the nation to increase via the vaccine.
No muslim shall be allowed to comment on covid . They are the worst spreaders , they spit on the food ,spit on their hands before a handshake and spit on the money so that covid can spread as fast as it can.
And Why the fuck publish an article on opinions of people when even prime minister’s opinions dont matter to the people. The reality is whoever and whatever sounds anti BJp matters while the rest doesn’t.
Aha!!! Given sermons of being unbiased… Your whole sermon here is filled with bias and bigotry. You need to get vaccinated for bigotry man!!!! This is a lol comment?
The guy who probably didn’t and wouldnt need to do anything to live life large is saying this. He will survive if he has covid, doesn’t need to take vaccines as will be isolated with all the luxuries in the world. If you really need an opinion ask the doctors in civil hospitals. They will tell you what the situation is . People are dying and maybe yes lockdown are harsh. But to give statements against the only thing that we have against this virus ( vaccines) is too much. Please educate yourself more and from a credible source.
When trolls can’t attack the message they attack the messenger….
just to make a point….our body is made of viruses like coronaviruses etc and so on… So biologically we cannot transmitt viruses to one another…..we can transmitt germs….
only when we get vaccinated then there is a possibility of us transmitting viruses to each other….. just like computers….first they infect it with the virus and then they create an anti-virus…..same goes with the vaccination….they infect you with a dead or live virus while testing and then they create a vaccine…..when these guys have not able to isolate the virus biologically….on what basis are they testing…..
and if they say they have isolated the virus…..then it’s only after testing you with nano particles in the nasal swab or after vaccination…..are you getting the picture guys…..
if I am wrong please correct me…..I am just a layman applying common sense….firstly I do not fear….. and if I do…. it is the Almighty….not for things which are right but when I do wrong…… because the Almighty is always right and we all know it…..
secondly…. my friends we need to do our research…..the CDC is a privately funded organization…. check it out…..Guess who started The World Health Organization (WHO) and who is funding it ….. do your research….
And for your information the so called VACCINE is not yet certified as per my information….it is an experimental injection till 2023…..
What ever Anmol is tweeting has substance behind it…. friends do your research…….and why does the Son have to pay for his Dad’s misdeeds…..As the Almighty rightly says we have to pay for our own sins……
so please don’t target the messenger but his message….. if he’s wrong…..and let it be constructive so it can lead to a meaningful discussion……
lastly I do not trust vaccines at all…..for me personally it’s evil…..if ever given a second chance I will never take any of it no matter what……I will leave my life in the hands of our Creator. Thank You. God Bless ?
The above message is my personal opinion, no one should take my word for it…..I am also seeking for the right information like you all.. …..If I am wrong please do correct me
Would advise you to go back to school, we are not capable to fill such a big gap in education in a short time.
You could as well start from the elementary school and slowly and gradually build on it.
May be in a few decades you will start joining the dots and understand the facts as it is.
Wish you the very best.
Please try after you fill the gaps in your education. Maybe circa 2050.
Excellent comment. Problem is no one seems to do any research. Just a cursory Google search will throw up details of the shaky foundations of germ theory and all the conflicts of interests in play during this scamdemic. But over 99% find it logical and perfectly rational to let altruistic messiahs like Bill Gates take complete control of their lives. It’s the <1% minorities left out who are irrational illogical ignorant conspiracy theorists.
This is what happens when churches start giving out scientific advice rather than sticking to prayers.
The pope himself would disapprove you and your church for your stupidity.
If its a scam , its probably a congress – CCP collaboration . Their secret agreement points to it .
Ambani is being unrealistic
Go do your research! I am ashamed to see educated Indians speaking like this! Hell they have posted the same comments with different names to increase the hatred against Anmok. Now I know mostly Indians who just talk, just talk like empty vessels. They don’t want to know the truth.. Just like to gossip amd spread false news loke idiots

Probably knowingly or unknowingly he is right actually
Agreed, journalist these days have nothing better than republishing an already available article/ tweet in public domain and pass of judgements. Aren’t they supposed to be unbiased and this isn’t even a news or worthy of an article. For all matter. She should be sued for passing this nonsense as an article and print for giving this platform but then again it is print.
He should visit his father’s Reliance Hospital in Koparkhairane once. There is no bed left and are returning covid positive patience. Same patients return with more sever symptoms and go directly to NRBM or Ventilation.
I saw 3 death just in 10 days in my small ward. Even the bed I am occupying now was of one such patient.
I didn’t find any Anti vaccine or anti mask stuff in his tweets. Am I missing something?
Definitely you are missing the anti nationalist and and government point being targeted by the Print.
#realjournalism
The night curfew doesn’t make sense. Travelers prefer night drives during Indian summers for empty roads and cool nights. Crowd in day, curfew in night… Does not make sense.
It’s all the same a night curfew and a day curfew won’t work out but a full 3 week curfew across Industries will work out.
Man has done great deed
Keep it up
Nonsense being propagated by Print. These guys don’t fear God but always have conspiracy theories about some super power forces controlling billions. And to the author, which medical expert spoke about lockdowns and economic effects? Kuch bhi chalega.
For those vaccine fear mongers just remember vaccines saved humanity from small pox and polio.
It all in our hands, dancing with the evil in this world please
He says STUPIDEMIC.
“had an Alia Bhatt moment”??
Really?
I don’t like nor dislike the actress, but really Print? This is what YOUR journalism has come to?
Finally some intelligence! Not even the virus of covid is isolated, nor is the PCR test validated nor is there any solid research proofing masks to do any good. But there are well done research study that non of the vaccines we give to children these days do prevent any illness, rather the opposite. All the vaccinated are having much more problems. And in the Covid vaccine no one even claims that the Vaccine protects for anything . But there are lots of adverse reaction and even death! There are ample of treatments that heal successful the symptoms ascribed to a “Sars 2” virus. Overall world wide death statistics of 2020 do not show any significant higher death rate in comparison to previous years. Where is the pandemic? More people died because of the draconian steps taken by the governments following orders of the WHO then any flue like covid symptoms did!
Your parents had they not vaccinated you during your childhood, you would’ve understood its value.
Vaccines are far more validated and proven to work than pseudo science of Homeopathy and cow urines
Stop with your bullshit.
Who is the author to pass judgements on Anmol Ambani’s comments? If at all she can present her own viewpoints. Good journalism does not entail passing judgements on other people’s viewpoints especially when they are not present to defend themselves.
He is right , he is doing media work bcoz media being govt lapdog is spewing paid propaganda onto public to manufacture consent.stop pretending to b on publics side media works for their sponsors interest. You prepaid fake news the public knows how paid media works.
The Author has her opinion, and so does Mr Ambani. Just state the facts don’t give a judgement stating that this or that is a step in the right or the wrong direction.
Anmol Ambani’s a real legend. What’s wrong in questioning masks when multiple reputed doctors the world over have advised not to wear them and studies have shown that doing so for long durations is harmful to the body and in questioning vaccines for which the vaccine companies have been indemnified against their side effects?
If people are so confident covid is non-issue and a hype then they should offer their service to covid hospitals and should not wear mask or use sanitizer and PPE. The health department is very exhausted and deserves a break.
I am sure we will see in some covid center giving much needed help.
It is not that covid is not a problem
But problem is government is intent to tackle the same and giving
both the indications as to how we should deal with it.I think the government wants to say that you could easily join rallies and kumbh melas but you need to be at home
???
Fan boy of a billionare probably too enthralled by his networth than his intelligence. Mind sharing some links for the studies u are referring to sunshine.
Probably the Top Most floor of ‘ANTILIA’ is immune to all diseases.!
Someone has guts to speak out unlike MSM and corrupt government in nexus with Big Pharma. As expected, MSM wouldn’t go into the details of what he said, what are the basis for his stance on masks and vaccines.
Sounds like Candace Owens.
You sound like a blue pilled teenager.
But why is he wearing his Father’s coat.?
