Mumbai/IBNS:  Billionaire Mukesh Ambani's elder son Akash and his wife Shloka Mehta embraced parenthood for the second time as they welcomed a baby girl on Wednesday.

The couple welcomed their first child Prithvi Akash Ambani in December 2020.

Dhanraj Nathwani, a friend of the Ambani children and son of family confidant and Rajya Sabha MP Parimal Nathwani, took to Twitter to announce the birth of the girl child.

''Heartiest congratulations to Akash and Shloka Ambani on the joyous arrival of their little princess! May this precious blessing bring immense happiness and love to your lives,'' Nathwani wrote.

The couple announced their second pregnancy during the grand opening celebrations of the Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre (NMACC) in April.

At the event, she was seen flaunting her baby bump.

Akash Ambani and Shloka Mehta, who is the daughter of diamond merchant Russell Mehta, got married in March 2019 in a glittering ceremony in Mumbai.
