Mukesh and Nita Ambani's eldest son Akash is set to get married to his childhood friend Shloka Mehta on March 9 this year. Shloka Mehta is the youngest daughter of diamantaire Rusell and his wife Mona Mehta. Russell Mehta is the MD of the Indian arm of Rosy Blue Diamonds, a family-owned Indian/Belgian trading company. Mukesh Ambani and Nita Ambani and younger son Anant went to Mumbai's Siddhivinayak temple on February 11 to offer the the first invite for Akash and Shloka's wedding.
The invitation card of the upcoming royal wedding has become public since then.
The invitation is packed in a pink box with an animated disc with Lord Krishna and Radha in the front. Bhajan starts playing as one opens the box. The box opens up to chambers with more pictures of Krishna and Radha. The inner chamber opens to an orange-colored wedding note with the inscription, "O Suryadeva, you are the light in our Akash. You illuminate our every Shloka."

There is also a handwritten note from Mukesh and Nita Ambani in the card. The note reads:
"With prayers to Lord Krishna, with blessings of our parents, and with immense joy and happiness, we invite you to the marriage of our beloved son Akash with his soulmate Shloka.
Marriage is a bond made in heaven, an eternal promise of love and companionship. As Akash and Shloka turn their childhood friendship into eternal love, they also turn our long and deep friendship with Mona and Russell into the loving bonds of family.
We are overjoyed to welcome Shloka in our family as out dearest daughter-in-law, and we wish her and Akash the most glorious life together.
As parents our wish for them is for their love to grow stronger, their friendship deeper and their smiles brighter, every single day. May their path ahead be abundantly and eternally blessed.
As Akash and Shloka set forth on this divine journey, we look forward to celebrating this most joyous occasion with you, and creating memories that will last us a lifetime.
We seek your blessings and good wishes for our children. With love, affection, and our warmest regards."
