The three-day wedding extravaganza of Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai, which kicks off tomorrow, is set to be a hectic but fun-filled private affair for the Bachchans and the Rais, who will get together at Prateeksha for the celebrations. The much-hyped and out-of-bounds for the media, wedding of Abhishek and Aishwarya, who, 13 years after winning the Miss World crown, is still referred to as one of the "most beautiful women in the world", will be solemnised on April 20. The sangeet ceremony, sources said, would almost resemble a Bollywood set with mirrors, huge pillars and performances by Abhishek's best friends, including Sikander Kher and Goldie Behl. Speculation has been rife that Hrithik Roshan, too, may perform at the ceremony. The couple is said to be preparing to the dance to their hit number "Kajra Re" at the ceremony. The mehndi ceremony the next day is likely to be a sober affair involving only close family and friends.
The wedding, the culmination of three days of celebrations, will be held in Amitabh's bungalow Prateeksha at around 5.30 pm on the auspicious day of Akshaya Tritiya. — PTI
