On March 12, 2019, Nita Ambani and Mukesh Ambani organised a special bash, as an expression of gratitude and respect for the people who make the city and nation safe, and to seek their blessings for the newly-married couple, Akash and Shloka. They celebrated the new beginnings of their family with thousands of members of Army, Navy, Paramilitary Forces, Mumbai Police, Railway Protection Force, and their families. The highlight of the celebrations was a special Musical Fountain show called Ananta Prem at the Dhirubhai Ambani Square which is conceptualised by Nita Ambani set on the theme of Krishna’s Raas Lila to symbolise an eternal love story.

The family also organised a week-long Anna Seva programme on March 6, 2019, in all the orphanages and old age homes in the city. This initiative began at the Jio Garden, where the family served dinner with choice delicacies to nearly 2,000 children. The Anna Seva will be followed by a continuation of the supply of groceries to all the orphanages and old age homes in the city for a year.

Before the Anna Seva, Nita Ambani inaugurated the Dhirubhai Ambani Square at Jio World Centre in Bandra and was accompanied by Mukesh Ambani, their youngest son, Anant Ambani, and his rumoured girlfriend, Radhika Merchant. During the event, Nita ji talked about the thought behind this new initiative, and had said, “The Dhirubhai Ambani Square and the Jio World Centre fulfill the vision of a great son of India, who believed that India has the potential to achieve global excellence in every area of nation-building.”

For those who don’t know, Akash and Shloka’s love-story is not less than a fairytale. The duo knew each other since childhood and studied in the same school, Dhirubhai Ambani International School. However, they decided to walk the aisle in March last year.  Shloka is the daughter of Russell and Mona Mehta. The young heiress completed her undergraduate studies at Princeton University, and went on to do her masters at the London School of Economics, before coming back to India in 2014. (Don't Miss: Surbhi Tiwari's Mother-In-Law Gifted Her A Unique Silver Crown At Her Delhi Wedding Reception)
