“I have seen Radhakishan carry goods from godown to floor shop when he had net worth of more than 1,000 crores.
That's how D-mart was created"
- Late Rakesh Jhunjhunwala
To all those who call the UAE home and guests in our beloved nation.
The UAE places its security and the protection of all citizens, residents, and visitors at the very top of its priorities. With God’s grace, the UAE is fully prepared to confront these threats.
I extend my deepest appreciation to our brave armed forces, our committed security services, and all national institutions and teams working tirelessly to keep our country safe. They represent the highest standards of readiness and cooperation. We are truly proud of them.
I would also like to underscore my sincere gratitude for the awareness shown by our community of Emiratis and our resident brothers and sisters, partners in this nation, who have expressed their genuine love and loyalty to the UAE through both words and actions. In the UAE, everyone is Emirati through their love for this land and their contributions to it.
May God have mercy on the victims and grant the injured a speedy recovery. With God’s blessing, the UAE—the land of Zayed—will remain strong in its unity, steadfast in defending its sovereignty, and steadily advancing towards the future.
In May 2023, I had tweeted CRITICISING #ShahRukhKhan for saying he sleeps only 4 to 5 hours a day, and questioned the idea that success requires sacrificing sleep, food and personal comfort, as mentioned by him in an Aaj Tak interview.
Today, I’m deleting that tweet, taking my words back and offering a public apology for writing it.
Over the last 2 years and especially in the past 6 to 7 months, I’ve been deeply involved in multiple projects across consulting, marketing, Hindi and Marathi film work, along with some personal choices/priorities and responsibilities. In that phase, I realised that I often couldn’t afford more than 5 hours of sleep.
And I realised that Shah Rukh Khan was never asking people to give up sleep recklessly. He was speaking about the reality of pushing beyond comfort, of going the extra mile, especially when you come from a middle class background and are trying to build something meaningful. Some may agree, some may disagree. But I have felt this truth personally.
When you are trying to create something big or do something worthwhile, compromises do happen. At least in my case, sleep was one of them.
Only in Gujarat!
186 Jains come together, buy luxury cars worth ₹149 crore - and save ₹21 crore in the bargain.
When Gujaratis say “business is religion”, they mean it. 😄🚗💰
I request:
1. Immediate reactivation or replacement assistance for my mother’s SIM without service interruption.
2. A permanent solution to my father’s recurring SIM issues.
3. Clarification on why incoming call/SMS services are blocked immediately after recharge expiry.
