When you’re the daughter of one of India’s most influential business tycoons, questions about legacy, wealth, and family are expected. But when that legacy is cemented—quite literally—in one of the country’s most recognizable brands, things can get amusing very quickly. And that’s exactly what happened during a recent Q&A hosted by Ananya Birla on social media.
Netizens flooded the post with a mix of admiration, curiosity, and harmless mischief, one user decided to shoot their shot with a rather bold question: “Aap wahi Birla ki beti ho?? Cement wale Mm?” (Are you the daughter of the Birla family associated with cement?)
It was a question that could have been easily brushed aside or ignored. But Ananya, with her characteristic wit and grace, chose a different route. Her reply? “Haan Ji. UltraTech was the name, last time I checked 🙏”—a mic-drop moment that not only confirmed her identity but did so with endearing humour that had the internet cheering.
The response, posted on her X (formerly Twitter) profile, quickly went viral, gathering views and a stream of amused comments. One user called it “the weirdest question I have ever seen here lol,” while another praised Ananya for “gracefully balancing humour and generosity.”
A Modern Heiress Who Doesn’t Shy Away from Being Real
While many know her as the daughter of Kumar Mangalam Birla—chairman of the Aditya Birla Group—Ananya has spent years carving out her own identity, far beyond the towering corporate legacy she was born into. An entrepreneur, singer, board member, and now a rising face in India’s beauty and tech spaces,
Her humourous exchange served as a rare reminder that behind the boardroom titles and glossy magazine features is someone completely at ease with herself—and her roots.
Ananya Birla’s journey reflects a mix of creativity and entrepreneurship. She started learning the santoor at age 11, sang in clubs during her time at Oxford University, and went on to launch ventures like Svatantra Microfin and Ikai Asai. Her path shows how she has explored her own interests alongside her family legacy.
