Reliance Communications Chairman Anil Ambani said on Friday his relationship with his brother Mukesh Ambani is cordial and all speculations to the contrary are unnecessary even as their telecom ventures will continue to be separate entities despite business ties.

Speaking to reporters here, Ambani said: “My relationship with my brother is cordial, meaningful and full of respect. So any speculation is completely unnecessary.” The two brothers had divided their business empire about a decade ago.
