It’s an Ambani wedding. Are you even surprised at how every picture, every frame of celebrations of Akash Ambani and Shloka Mehta’s nuptials is drenched in royalty? While the engagement of the Ambani scion with diamantaire Russell Mehta’s daughter is tomorrow, June 30, a pre-engagement party was hosted in their honour last night at Antilia.
A mehendi ceremony, attended by the likes of Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas, was also held a day before.
Let’s go meet the bride and groom and their family, shall we?
Antilia, the most expensive private residence in the world, was decked up to the nines for the party. You can imagine the crazy security that must’ve been in place!
And here comes the groom-to-be, Akash Ambani!
The bride-to-be Shloka Mehta arrived, under a gorgeous canopy of flowers!
Of course, you’d wanna know who the bride was wearing, right? Here’s her entire look for the evening! A bespoke Abu Jani Sandeep Khosla outfit in gold!
Beautiful, isn’t she?
Talking about beauty, take a look at the groom’s sister, who is also a bride-to-be—Isha Ambani! She too wore a custom AJSK outfit in blush pink and stunned!
Looks like most of the Ambani household decided to don the same designers! Here’s Isha Ambani, Shloka Mehta and Shloka’s younger sister Diya Mehta Jatia posing in all their finery!
And now, for the most beautiful lady in the room! The ever graceful mother of the groom, Nita Ambani!
She too wore AJSK, with make-up by Mickey Contractor.
Check out her entire look here, as she poses with guests!
If only we had a glimpse of Papa Mukesh Ambani! But you know fathers, right? Always busy making sure everything’s perfect!
Now Gujju weddings mean loads and loads of little rituals, a lot of which are full of masti, and of course, music! And all of this happened when Isha Ambani welcomed her bhai Akash and bhabhi Shloka into the house!
The way she annoyed her brother is cute! No wait, the way her sister-in-law hugs her is full on #SisterGoals, y’all!
Did you spot brother Anant and dadi Kokilaben looking on? A shubhaarambh indeed!
The handsome couple du jour was the cynosure of all eyes and camera flashes for the night!
It is going to be a December wedding for the couple who is slated to get engaged officially tomorrow!
Here’s Akash Ambani and Shloka Mehta making an entrance, and the paparazzi going crazy!
Notice they’ve changed their outfits? Shloka’s now wearing a Sabyasachi lehenga and jewellery!
Striking a pose here!
A little candid moment nicely captured!
A royal wedding like this was bound to be a star-studded affair, with the crème de la crème of B-Town showing up to celebrate with the Ambanis!
From King Khan to Karan Johar to Sachin Tendulkar, they were all there!
Giving us some intense throwback to her Desi Girl avatar from Dostana was Priyanka Chopra! She chose to be draped in gold and red, the colour that perfectly complements her current mood!
Would you ever, ever have imagined a Jonas Brother at an Ambani wedding? But here’s our PeeCee making it happen! She came with beau Nick Jonas and they two just looked <3
Even the paparazzi couldn’t get enough of these two lovebirds!
Is any shaadi ever complete without Karan Johar? We, common folk, play the songs from his movies, while Bollywood and high society can invite the man himself! And he sure knows how to make an entrance!
Red hot, as always, Karan!
With the principal here, would his favourite Student of the Year be far behind? Alia Bhatt was a vision! Or in her own words, a pataka!
Draped in a gorgeous Manish Malhotra saree in pink, with flowers in her hair and that pretty smile, Alia can have our hearts any day!
Talking about Alia having our hearts, the man whose heart she’s managed to capture, Ranbir Kapoor, was there too, with BFF Ayan Mukerji.
Alia posted a rather cute picture with two of her director-friends, KJo and Ayan. Wonder where Ranbir was!
Now, brace yourself for royalty, people. Because the Badshah is here with his Begum! Ladies and gentlemen, I give you, Gauri and Shah Rukh Khan!
I am LIVING for that stunning Falguni and Shane Peacock gown that Gauri is wearing!
Wedding festivities can only begin with divine blessings, right? So worry not, because the God is here! Sachin Tendulkar and wife Anjal graced the occasion too!
Phew! Can you imagine the amount of star power crammed (well, not crammed considering it’s Antilia!) in one Ambani party? And this is just the PRE-engagement! It’s about to get a whole lot of glamourous tomorrow, when the actual engagement ceremony is! Can’t wait!
