Firstborn son to Mukesh and Nita Ambani, Akash and his wife, Shloka Mehta, welcomed a baby girl on May 31. Times of India reports that Mehta surprised the world when she appeared at the Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre (NMACC) in April with a noticeable baby bump. The baby’s name had not yet been revealed at the time of writing.

Akash and Shloka have known each other since childhood and got married in 2019. The couple were last spotted out in public at the Siddhivinayak temple in Mumbai about a week before welcoming their baby girl into the world.
