After getting Beyonce to perform at a pre-wedding party for his daughter Isha last year, industrialist Mukesh Ambani, on Sunday, hosted a post-wedding celebration for his son Akash with pop rock band Maroon 5 regaling a star-studded crowd.
Maroon 5, which has Adam Levine as its lead vocalist, took the stage at the venue in Mumbai, and performed some of their hit tracks, including Girls Like You and What Lovers Do. While a social media policy was issued to the guests urging privacy for the celebrations, a few video snippets from the private show made it to social media. Their songs Sugar and Moves Like Jagger are reportedly Akash and Shloka’s favourites.

In one of the videos, Akash and Shloka danced to Levine's live rendition of his popular song She Will Be Loved.
Inviting Maroon 5 at the party took Akash and Shloka's wedding celebrations to the next level after the Ambani family had already made the world sit up and take notice of the celebrations by roping in Coldplay and The Chainsmokers to perform at their pre-wedding gala in St. Moritz, Switzerland last month.
Akash, son of Reliance Industries Chairman and Managing Director Mukesh Ambani, and Shloka, youngest daughter of diamond merchant Russell Mehta, got married in Mumbai on Saturday in a lavish ceremony. The celebration night on Sunday saw elaborate fireworks and a performance by Akash's mother Nita Ambani. She danced to Krishna Bhajan Achyutam Keshavam with a musical fountain adding to the drama.
Bollywood celebrities, politicians and sportspersons attended the event including Amitabh Bachchan, Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Karan Johar, Suniel Shetty and Mana Shetty, Riteish Deshmukh, Goldie Behl and Sonali Bendre Behl, Prasoon Joshi, Shankar Mahadevan, Vidhu Vinod Chopra, Akshay Kumar and Twinkle Khanna.
