Childhood friends Akash and Shloka will tie the knot on March 9.
Akash Ambani's extravagant pre-wedding bash in the Alps, although an extremely private affair, has been the talk of the town, and with good reason if his twin Isha's December nuptials are anything to go by.
The groom-to-be, along with wife Shloka, their families and friends are all set to celebrate in the picturesque town of St. Moritz in Switzerland.
Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt, Karan Johar, Adar and Natasha Poonawalla were spotted at the airport, leaving Maximum City. Earlier reports suggested that private jets would be flying the guests to the luxury Alpine resort town.
Reliance Industries Chairman Mukesh Ambani is said to have booked the uber-luxurious Badrutt Palace for the festivities. And after Beyonce performed in Udaipur for Isha Ambani and Anand Piramal's pre-wedding bash, now the Ambanis have reportedly roped in 'Maroon 5' for a concert in Switzerland.
The Badrutt Palace has 120 rooms and 37 suites. After the three-day bash, the families will host the couple's nuptials in Mumbai over three days starting from March 9. The wedding ceremony will take place at Jio World Centre in Bandra Kurla Complex, with the baraat commencing from the Trident hotel at 3:30 pm and the ceremony begining at 7.30 pm.

The Brown alumnus proposed to Shloka, with whom he attended Dhirubhai Ambani school, in March last year. The couple celebrated the new beginning surrounded by close family and friends in a private ceremony in Goa. This was followed by a star-studded engagement for the couple at the Ambanis' Mumbai residence 'Antilia' in June.
