You have seen her accompanying actors Kareena Kapoor Khan and Saif Ali Khan’s sons, Taimur and Jehangir (Jeh) since they were babies, and even Klin Kaara — actor Ram Charan and businesswoman Upasana Konidela’s daughter. And now, Lalita Dsilva, who is not a nanny but a paediatric nurse, has become a talking point on the internet after she posted pictures with the newlywed businessperson Anant Ambani from his wedding.

“People recognise me now after the photos went viral,” says Dsilva, who has been in the profession for 30 years. She began her job of looking after the medical well-being of babies with the Ambanis. “Not just Anant; I also took care of Isha and Akash. It was an unbelievable feeling to be attending his (Anant) wedding,” she gushes. A mother of a 35-year-old son, Dsilva adds she worked with the Ambanis for 11 years.

“They invited me to Isha and Akash’s wedding too, but I was travelling with Taimur then. This time Ram Charan sir and Upasana ji helped me stay back and attend Anant’s wedding,” says the nurse, who has worked with just two film stars’ families; the rest have been business families.

In her sixties now, Dsilva has become a globetrotter as she accompanies celebs on their outings, including international holidays to Italy, Thailand as well as film shoots. She had travelled with Kareena to look after Jeh when the actor shot for Laal Singh Chadha (2022).

Speaking of the Khan family, Dsilva calls Kareena “an amazing, disciplined mother” and Saif a “hands-on” dad. One can’t forget the hysteria following Taimur’s birth, which an otherwise calm Dsilva found quite stressful.

“There was pressure from the public and media. I would tell people, ‘Yeh bachcha hai, don’t chase him; why are you behaving like this?’ I had no experience stopping them from clicking pictures, but I managed. I was concerned about Taimur’s safety,” she concludes.
