Akash Ambani and Shloka Mehta have reportedly got engaged yesterday
Akash Ambani, the eldest son of Nita and Mukesh Ambani, was
engaged to Shloka Mehta, his former schoolmate, at a dazzling but private event at a luxury resort in Goa on Saturday.
Akash Ambani, the oldest son of India's richest man, has known Shloka Mehta, the daughter of a diamond billionaire, since they were children. Images shared by fan pages and social media users showed the ceremony on lawns lined by palm trees and lit up in the fading light. The two are reportedly planning their wedding in December. Akash has a twin sister Isha and younger brother Anant. After the engagement, the Ambanis and Shloka Mehta went to the
Siddhivinayak temple in Mumbai.
