Mona Mehta was recently spotted with Shloka Mehta, prepping for her daughter’s upcoming wedding with Akash Ambani. The mother-daughter duo, Shloka and Mona was captured by the shutterbugs at celebrity fashion designer Monisha Jaising's store in Bandra. What we can’t help but notice is the uncanny resemblance between the mother and her daughter. In a picture shared by make-up artist, Rakesh Thapa, of Shloka’s mother, Mona Mehta, we can see how the beauty has passed on from one generation to another. Here are the pictures:
As per the latest India Today report, Akash and Shloka will tie the nuptial knot on March 9, 2019, in Mumbai. The report stated, “The Mangal Baaraat will assemble at the Trident in Mumbai at 3.30pm on Saturday. From the Trident, the baaraatis are to leave for the Jio World Centre in Bandra Kurla Complex.

Shloka, in an interview, opened up about the love of her life Akash and was quoted as saying, “Despite years and busy schedules, we have always found ways to stay connected. Akash is incredibly grounded, and we share a bond based on meaning and memories. We don't just get along - we also support each other's hopes and aspirations and are determined to build a sense of purpose in our lives together. We are lucky to have a love that began with being best friends and luckier still to have such supportive families.”

On the other hand, Akash revealed, “I am truly happy that our friendship has blossomed into love and Shloka and I are getting married, she is a truly special and extremely kind-hearted person”.

A source close to the family had revealed, “Shloka is a very charming girl, extremely cultured and it’s difficult to say which of the two families is lucky with this upcoming marriage.” (Also Read: Esha Deol, Pregnant With Her Second Child, Shares The One Place She Wants To Visit With Her 'Babies')
In a recent interaction with Vogue, newly-married Isha Ambani Piramal revealed that Akash willingly gave up his wedding dates for his darling sister. Isha had said, "Akash has the largest heart ever. He changed his wedding dates for me. He got engaged to Shloka before Anand and me, but he was like, “I’ll get married afterwards, you take my wedding dates.” He’s like one of the most—I don’t think there’s a word for it in English—“dayalu” humans in this world. He’s empathetic, gracious and gentle, just like Shloka."
Talking about her soon-to-be sister-in-law, Shloka, Isha had stated, “In fact, Shloka’s sister, Diya [Mehta Jatia] and I were in the same class in Sunflower and then in JB [Petit]. We have been best friends for over 25 years. Then when I moved to Ambani, I skipped a grade and went to Shloka’s class. So I’ve been like a third sister to them. I was thrilled with the engagement news. Shloka’s always been part of the family for us.” (Also Read: Karan Johar's 2-Year-Old Daughter, Roohi Johar Is Another Poo From K3G In Making, Here's The Proof)
