Abhishek, Ash and Marriage.............



I still don't know when it all started...I mean few months back it was Viveik Oberoi, right? Who even made a proclamation of marrying Ash in Prabhu Chawla' TV show. No one knows what winds blew that Aishwarya bid farewell to Viveik and suddenly made Junior Bachchan, the desired man ( patiparmeshwar) in her life. In today's date without fail the news channels bobs up with a story on this so called hottest couple of Bollywood and their immortal love( give me a break). Be it their visit to Siddhivinayak mandir, Varanasi or Vindhyavasini temple the canny eyes of the media have always been their loyal companions.

The cherry to the cake was however added on by an unofficial announcement of Aishwarya and Abhishek's wedding on 20th April. This news travelled across the world faster than the speed of light. (Believe me) and left many smitten by the arrow of excitement, speculations and anxiety. Media frenzy since then has been feeding continuously the insatiable public hunger for spicy, peppery details on venue, date, trousseau and honeymoon. The tarot card readers, numerologists, handwriting and signature specialists have become busier than ever in predicting stuffs related to Abhishek and Aishwarya's Wedding Bells and their future ahead for the media.

However for the Bachchans the wedding plans and preparations are in full swing. A classical singer from Varanasi is in full practice session theses days hoping to get a call for performing in the most wannabe marriage of Bollywood. According to speculators more than 6000 people are going to be invited for the marriage. It is believed on tentative grounds that the groom would wear a golden sherwani weaved by a Varanasi based family who is in the industry for the last 400 years. The sherwani would approximately cost around Rs.500,000. The same weavers are said to design bridal wears for Aishwarya. Teji Bachchan, the mother of Amitabh Bachchan, who isn't keeping well, is said to be the leading lady behind the wedding of Abhishek Bachchan.

Reportedly the venue for the wedding would be Bachchan's Mumbai residence “Pratiksha”. Jaipur or Udaipur palaces are the favoured destinations where the wedding party can be thrown.Well! Till the time the wedding date is made official nothing much can be said...................however who can stop us from speculations.....after all we all are doing the same, isn't it?

It will be on the day of the wedding that we finally can say...............Guru got his Umrao Jaan!!!
