Viral video shows security guard's witty response to pranksters at Ambani residence
Dubai: Two content creators recently learned the hard way that gaining entry to Antilia, the Ambani family's opulent Mumbai residence, is no easy task.
Ben Sumadiwiria and Aris Yeager attempted to enter the 27-story mansion by claiming to be friends of Mukesh Ambani, hoping their story would win over the security team.
In a viral video, the duo filmed themselves interacting with the security guard outside Antilia, trying to convince him that the Ambanis had invited them to visit after meeting at Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant's wedding.
"Yeah, we’re friends with Ambani. We are also wealthy people," they told the guard, hoping to gain entry.
However, the guard remained composed and skeptical, questioning whether they had an official invitation or any communication from the Ambanis.
Ignoring the guard's questions, Sumadiwiria and Yeager insisted, "He said we can come any time. Tell him we are here.”
Despite their persistence, the pranksters' claims faltered when the guard explained that the Ambanis were not home and politely refused their request to wait inside, saying, “It’s a house, not a restaurant.”
Even the outrageous claim that Sumadiwiria’s father owns Bali couldn’t sway the guard. After a failed attempt, the creators left Antilia, their prank unsuccessful.
The video, featuring the guard's witty responses, has gone viral on Instagram and amassed millions of views on X and YouTube.
Comments flooded in, with one Instagram user writing, “Ambani’s security guard roasts a rich kid of Europe,” while another said, “Can't believe you actually went to Mr. Ambani's house ! You are lucky the security is so polite.”
