Mukesh Ambani and wife Nita are all set for another glitzy wedding as their son Akash will be tying the knot with Shloka Mehta next month. According to media reports, Akash and Shloka will get married on March 9 in Mumbai. Just like Isha Ambani's wedding, Akash-Shloka's D-Day is going to be a grand affair with a three-day celebration. Here are the details.
The start
Akash to have a 3-day bachelor party in Switzerland
Though the wedding is next month, its festivities will begin by end of February with an extravagant bachelor party. The groom-to-be will host a three-day-long bachelor party in Switzerland's St Moritz February 23 onwards. Media reports also suggest that Akash's bachelor bash will be attended by around 500 guests, who will be flown to the destination in two aircraft booked by the Ambanis.
Wedding
First day will be a traditional welcome of 'Mangal Baraat'
After the bachelor's party, Akash and Shloka will get ready for their opulent wedding, which will take place at the Jio World Center in Bandra Kurla Complex. As per the itinerary, the Mangal Baraat will assemble at the Trident at 3:30pm and head to the wedding destination later. A high tea will be hosted at 6:30pm, and wedding ceremonies will begin at 7:30pm.
Celebration
Second day will be a celebration of 'mangal parv'
The wedding will be followed by the Mangal Parv ceremony, which will be hosted by the Ambanis next day on March 10. Just like the wedding, this ceremony will also take place at the Jio World Center. Reportedly, this lavish party will have Bollywood's who's who in attendance. It will also be attended by several business tycoons and politicians of the country.
Information
A grand reception planned on March 11 in Mumbai
Akash and Shloka will also host a lavish wedding reception on March 11 in Mumbai. The venue for this extravagant party remains the same. This will also be a starry affair, with several big shots from Bollywood marking their attendance along with other prominent personalities.
Proposal
Akash proposed his childhood sweetheart Shloka in Goa
For the uninitiated, Akash and Shloka fell in love while they were in school. They stayed in touch even when both of them went abroad for studies. While Akash's parentage is known, Shloka is the daughter of noted businessman Russell and Mona Mehta. Last March, Akash officially proposed her in Goa, and they exchanged rings in June. They also hosted a grand pre-engagement party.
