Billionaire Mukesh Ambani and Nita Ambani hosted a grand engagement party for son Akash Ambani and daughter-in-law to be Shloka Mehta. The young couple officially announced the news over the weekend, later calling over their high-profile friends for celebration. It is told that Akash proposed to Shloka at a plush resort in Goa, on Saturday. The two were spotted at Mumbai's Siddhivinayak temple along with the Ambani family.
Shloka is the youngest daughter of diamond magnate Russel Mehta and Mona Mehta. The engagement is being seen as coming together of two of India's largest business families. Wedding bells for the couple are likely to ring in December. It is reported that the wedding could take place at the Oberoi in Mumbai. The post-engagement party was held at Antilla- the Ambanis' residence. Stars like Shah Rukh Khan, Karan Johar, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Katrina Kaif, Karan Johar, John Abraham, and Rajkumar Hirani were present. Cricketers Zaheer Khan and Harbhajan Singh were also in attendance.
For the party, Shloka wore a golden gown, while Akash looked dashing in a blue suit. Both the families are associated with each other for several years. While Akash serves on the board of Reliance Jio, Shloka is the director on Rosy Blue Foundation. She has held the position since July 2014. She is also co-founder of ConnectFor, a platform that matches volunteers with NGOs that need them. The two reportedly studied together at Mumbai's Dhirubhai Ambani International School in Mumbai, and have been close friends for years.
