Mukesh Ambani's son Akash proposed to diamantaire Russell Mehta's daughter Shloka

The son of the richest man in the country proposed to diamantaire Russell Mehta's youngest daughter Shloka Mehta at a pre-engagement ceremony in Goa. The wedding of Akash Ambani, the scion of India's richest family, is on the cards for later this year.

Shloka Mehta is the daughter of Russell Mehta, who heads Rosy Blue Diamonds. She is youngest of three children of Russell and Mona Mehta.

The Ambanis and Mehtas know each other well and even Akash and Shloka studied together at Dhirubhai Ambani International School.

While the dates of either the wedding or engagement of Akash Ambani have not been finalised yet, the duo are likely to get engaged in June and the wedding is likely to be held in December.

"As and when any good news is to be shared, the family will be delighted to share with everyone," PTI had reported earlier this month.

"Importantly and to reaffirm that as and when any wedding is finalised, it will only be in India," it said.

Akash and twin sister Isha are eldest of the three children of Mukesh and Nita Ambani. He is on the board of Reliance Jio, the groups fast growing telecom venture.

Shloka, who after finishing schooling at Dhirubhai Ambani International School in 2009 went on to study Anthropology at Princeton University and masters in Law at The London School of Economics and Political Science, is a director on Rosy Blue Foundation since July 2014. She is also a co-founder of ConnectFor, which matches volunteers with NGOs that need them.
