Ambani was engaged to diamantaire Russell Mehta's daughter Shloka Mehta on Saturday. The couple will, however, hold a formal engagement ceremony later.
The beautiful ceremony took place in Goa. The two families and close friends gathered at a plush five-star resort for a 'get-to-know-each-other' before the formal engagement.
The ceremony included a grand cake cutting ceremony on a serene palm-tree shaded lawn, with Mukesh Ambani feeding his soon-to-be daughter-in-law.
While there has been no formal announcement from either families, the wedding is expected to take place in early December.
