With
the electronic media and the paparazzi going ballistic with "details"
about the Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai marriage, no one is
sure about the facts any more.
The April 20 wedding is not going to be a lavish affair, say those
in the know. Only the immediate relatives of the Bachchans - brother
Ajitabh and his family, sister Shweta and her in-laws, which include
all the Kapoors - are being invited.
Abhishek's
close friends like Sikandar Kher, Goldie Behl and Rohan Sippy are
sure to be there. Karan Johar and mom Hiroo Johar as well as and
J.P. Dutta, whom Abhishek looks on as a father figure, are expected
to attend.
Yash
Chopra, his wife Pam and sons Aditya and Uday are also likely to
be there at the ceremony.
The
lady of the house, Jaya Bachchan, is busy supervising every detail.
In fact, Big B and the bridegroom are keeping completely out of
the picture, and that includes the invitees' list.
Jaya,
being firm of mind and resolute in her purposes, has kept the fanfare
to the barest minimum. The guest list would be in accordance with
the size and capacity of the Bachchans' residence - Prateeksha -
and of course, the imperativeness of the potential invitees' presence
on the premises.
All
the invitees are keeping a low profile to avoid divulging details
about the wedding. But some of the atrocious claims cooked up by
entertainment channels have the Bachchans hugely amused.
According
to media reports, neighbours have been asked to keep their gates
shut to media personnel and the aviation ministry requested to bar
planes over their residence during the wedding.
Amitabh
has told a friend, "My son's wedding is a very private, solemn
and precious moment for me and my family. Surely, we're entitled
to our privacy if and when we need it."
