Ahead of wedding, Akash Ambani confesses love for Shloka Mehta
Business tycoon Mukesh Ambani's eldest son Akash is taking his nuptial vows with fiancee Shloka Mehta on March 9, and celebrations have already begun. For example, yesterday, the Ambanis hosted a week-long Anna Seva ceremony, where they served dinner to around 2,000 children. Amid these festivities, a video of Akash has surfaced online where he's seen confessing his love for Shloka.
Anna Seva will continue till March 13 in children homes
Notably, Anna Seva ceremony forms an important pre-wedding ritual of the Ambani family. Reportedly, this seva will continue till March 13 in all the orphanages and old age homes in the city. The soon-to-married couple was also seen taking part in this event, and that's when we saw a glimpse of Akash's feelings for Shloka. It happened precisely when the paps clicked their pictures.
What did Akash say when asked for a solo pose
While clicking photographs, Akash, dressed in teal green colored kurta with Nehru jacket, asked photographers to capture Shloka's smile properly as she gets nervous around cameras. That's not all. When Akash was asked for a solo pose, he quipped, "Shaadi ho raha hai. Birthday nahi hai. Do body, ek soul ho gaya hai (We're getting married and are now two bodies and one soul)."
