Reliance Industries Chairman Mr Mukesh Ambani and his wife Mrs Nita Ambani visited the Siddhivinayak Temple in Mumbai to offer the first invitation of their son Akash Ambani's marriage with his childhood friend Shloka Mehta. Their younger son Anant accompanied them. Both the father and the son were found outside the temple while Nita offered the first invitation to Lord Ganapathi, who is the main deity at the Siddhivinayak temple. Nita also offered other rituals in front of the main god as part of their invitation.

 

Shloka and Akash went to the same school in Mumbai and have been in a relationship or a long time. Shloka is the youngest daughter of Indian diamond merchant, Russell Mehta, the managing director of Rosy Blue India, the Indian arm of the family-owned Belgian-Indian diamond company Rosy Blue.
