On March 4, 2019, the family celebrated Maha Shivratri with a grand puja as they seeked the blessings of Shiv and Shakti for the soon-to-be-married couple, Akash and Shloka. Amidst all the wedding tam-jhaam, the family hosted a dreamy 3-day-long pre-wedding bash for all their friends and family in St. Moritz, Switzerland. The theme of the celebration was ‘winter wonderland’ and the couple arrived at the bash in a white chariot.

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.
