Adani's emotional tribute to granny

She shared her pain, explaining that the name Adani had a special meaning for her.

"If there is one question I receive the most, it is why I’m called Adani. It is a name that doesn't have a good reputation globally. I’m called Adani because it's a Luo name for grandma. I am named after my grandma, whom I love so much. I’m so sad to tell you guys that the Adani I’m named after is no more. The accident that happened, which killed over 21 people, claimed the lives of my grandmother and some of the family members," she said emotionally in the video.

The TikToker, who runs a beauty business under the username Adani Beauty, revealed that the business had been inspired by her late grandmother.
