Ahead Of Akash Ambani's Big Fat Wedding, Take A Look At Mukesh Ambani's Luxurious 2 Billion Dollar Mansion

Pre-wedding celebrations for Akash Ambani and Shloka Mehta are in full swing. Akash Ambani, son of industrialist tycoon Mukesh Ambani and Nita Ambani, is all set to tie the knot with Shloka Mehta, daughter of Russell and Mona Mehta on the coming Saturday. The wedding celebration is expected to be held in the Ambanis family residence, Antilia. With a couple of days remaining to the wedding of the year, take a glimpse inside the wedding celebration's location of India's richest man son ahead of nuptials.

The 27-story residential skyscraper, which is located on Mumbai's tony Altamount Road and cost an estimated $1 billion to build, is known as “a modern home with an Indian heart”. Antilia is considered as the second most expensive premise in the world just after the prestigious Buckingham Palace in London.

Mukesh Ambani’s breathtaking 27-storey skyscraper with over 400,000 square feet reaches 570 feet. It was designed by Chicago-based architects Perkins and Will, with the Australian-based construction company Leighton Holdings taking charge of its construction.

Many people think that this construction is a 40-story building as some ceilings are double-high, even triple-high.

Antilia is named after a mythical island in the Atlantic Ocean.

This building has nine high-speed elevators, and each of them leads to different floors and purpose.

Most of the ceiling is decked in the ballroom with crystal chandeliers. There is also a stage for entertainers and a kitchen which can serve hundreds of guests.

Antilia is known for its unique design and carefully crafted interiors. No two floors have the same interior, and the whole house is based on the theme of sun and lotus.

Numerous sitting areas which feature crafted Indian rugs, finely woven and chandeliers offer a quiet escape to guests.

Exquisite materials like rare woods, marble, mother of pearl and crystal were used to craft the shapes of the lotus and the sun in the building.

The most jaw-dropping feature of Antilia is that it has three helipads on the terrace along with an air space floor and stunning views of Mumbai skyline.

The lowest levels – all six of them – are parking lots with space enough for 168 cars.

The Ambani home is equipped with a 2-storey recreation centre which boasts of a gym, a health spa, multiple swimming pools, a jacuzzi, separate yoga and dance studios among several other amenities.

Antilia is equipped with its ice-cream parlour, a mega-temple and a luxurious theatre that can accommodate 50 people and a salon.

Surprisingly though, the family has yet to move into it’s $2 billion mega-mansion. The Ambani family refuses to move in for fear the home will curse them with bad luck.

And now, Akash Ambani - Shloka Mehta's big day is just around the corner, Mukesh Ambani’s home Antilia has been decorated for the wedding to take place.
