The Ambani family has been in a celebratory mood after Akash Ambani popped the question to childhood friend, Shloka Mehta. Couple of weeks later, to add to their celebrations, sibling Isha Ambani got engaged as well. Now Mukesh and Nita Ambani are all set to host the engagement party of Akash and Shloka on June 30th at their Altamont Road residence, Antilia. The video invite that is being sent out by the parents have gone viral on social media. With 'Shubhaarambh' from Kai Po Che playing on the background, the video is designed with traditional motifs. The video starts with an incantation with both Shloka and Akash's names. "O Suryadeva, You are the light in our Akash, You illuminate our every Shloka," it reads.
