‘Big fat Indian wedding’ - all of us might have heard this phrase and we got to experience this recently in early March when India’s richest man, Mukesh Ambani and Nita Ambani’s son, Akash Ambani took the wedding vows with his childhood love, Shloka Mehta. It was on March 9, 2019, when Akash and Shloka exchanged the garlands in the presence of their families and friends. Their ceremony was followed by post-wedding celebrations on March 10 and 11 with two grand wedding receptions.
For the ones who don’t know, Shloka Mehta is the daughter of Russell Mehta and Mona Mehta, who happen to be the owner of the diamond trading company, Rosy Blue, as well as the retail jewellery brand Orra. Shloka, on the other hand, opted out of the diamond business and rather joined, Rosy Blue Foundation, the company’s philanthropic arm.

The theme is ‘hearts’, Shloka is ‘heart’, Akash is a ‘heart’; it’s about the greeting of hearts, meeting of hearts, and the celebration of hearts. And Anand and I are all hearts for Shloka and Akash. I don’t think our hearts could burst anymore with love and affection than it is today.

Isha had further added, “Welcome to the family. But the truth is that Shloka has been a part of our family since as far as I can remember. Diya (Shloka's sister) and I were in school together, and Diya is the first best friend I ever had. And, by relation, Shloka has also been my best friend since...I don't know, I can't even remember a time in my life when I didn't know Shloka. So in many ways, this is the officialising the fact that we were sisters; born to different mothers. And I am just so happy that I finally get to call her my real sister. And, our family feels complete in a way that it never did before. So, welcome to the family.”
Shloka, in an interview, had talked about her love, and had remarked, “Despite years and busy schedules, we have always found ways to stay connected. Akash is incredibly grounded, and we share a bond based on meaning and memories. We don't just get along - we also support each other's hopes and aspirations and are determined to build a sense of purpose in our lives together. We are lucky to have a love that began with being best friends and luckier still to have such supportive families.” (Also Check: Misha Kapoor Is The New 'Rockstar' Of Tinsel Town, Mommy Mira Shares A Picture Of Her Playing Drums)
