They're Bali's Brangelina, the Beckhams of Bollywood. So why doesn't this hemisphere know the Bachchans?
Security was tighter than Renee Zellweger's smile at the Hilton in Toronto on Thursday, July 17. Three of the world's biggest stars were holding a press conference, but if you don't recognize the names of the Bachchan clan--Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, her husband Abhisehk Bachchan and father-in-law Amitabh Bachchan--you don't lose celeb demerit points. Three of the snootiest video stores in Toronto turned us away empty-handed when we asked for a few of their films (but you will be happy to know that the Heather Graham/Marisa Tomei 2003 comedy The Guru is more than available).
Anyway, we interviewed all three of the unknown superstars and will have a whole thing on it on Monday, after they premiere the globe-spanning supershow The Unforgettable Tour in Toronto Friday night. Will there be fireworks? Will there be confused Western reporters? We have a feeling the answer to at least one of those questions is yes. Until then, you can get acquainted with Aishwarya and Abhisehk--Bali's Brangelina, the Beckhams of Bollywood--at Sympatico MSN's new Bollywood Style site:
