In March 2019, Akash had an opulent, three-day wedding in Mumbai as he took Shloka Mehta’s hand in marriage. The two met years ago at school and had been engaged since March 2018. Their wedding was joyous and traditional, featuring lots of dancing, gorgeous dresses and elaborate musical performances. The guest list also featured A-listers like actress Priyanka Chopra and influential world leaders like former British prime minister Tony Blair.

2. Like his sister, he’s Ivy League-educated
