India's richest man and Reliance Industries chairman Mukesh Ambani on Monday threw a party for his son Akash Ambani's engagement to diamantaire Russel Mehta's daughter Shloka Mehta. The two had exchanged rings at a private ceremony in Goa last week. Akash is the eldest of Mukesh and Nita Ambani's three children. Shloka's father Russel Mehta is the owner of Rosy Blue Diamonds, which is ranked as one of the world’s top diamantaires.
The families are yet to release an official statement on their engagement and wedding.
Akash is currently on the board of Reliance Jio and Shloka is a Director with Rosy Blue Foundation, also a co-founder of ConnectFor, an organisation that helps NGOs get volunteers for various causes.
