Akash Ambani-Shloka Mehta become parents to a baby boy

MUMBAI: “With the grace and blessings of Lord Krishna, Shloka and Akash Ambani became proud parents of a baby boy today in Mumbai. Nita and Mukesh Ambani are delighted to become grandparents for the first time, as they welcomed the great-grandson of Dhirubhai and Kokilaben Ambani. Both mother and son are doing well. The new arrival has brought immense joy to the entire Mehta and Ambani families,” read the formal statement.

Akash and Shloka tied the knot in a grand ceremony in March 2019. Akash looked dapper in a pink Sabyasachi sherwani while Shloka donned a red lehenga. The wedding ceremony was attended by who’s who of Bollywood, ministers, and other celebrities. Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair and Google CEO Sundar Pichai also attended the event. Akash Ambani is the eldest son of Mukesh and Nita Ambani and Shloka Mehta is the daughter of diamond magnate Russel Mehta and Mona. The two went to school together at the Dhirubhai Ambani International School and have known each other since childhood.

The duo had been friends for years before they started dating. The couple got engaged in June 2018 after Akash proposed to Shloka in Goa in March that year.
