The internet went wild when the daughter of Sacramento Kings owner Vivek Ranadive revealed she is dating a former NBA guard. Vivek, who grew up in Mumbai, India, is also the founder and former CEO of TIBCO. In addition to owning the Kings, he owns the Sacramento River Cats Minor League Baseball team. This surprising news from his daughter has got everyone talking.
Anjali Ranadive, often called ‘Nani,’ is the daughter of the Sacramento Kings’ owner. She previously served as the general manager of the Stockton Kings, the Kings’ G-League affiliate.
