| | | The final countdown: Abhishek Bachchan with Aishwarya Rai | Just a week to go, and Bollywood can relax. Right now everyone is all strung up about the Abhi-Ash wedding. News is trickling in, in bits and pieces. The guest list (the one aspect of the marriage that's causing maximum heartburn among celebs) is more or less final, so are the song-and-dance performances for the mehndi, on April 19.
The full and final guest list first. Besides family, that's Amitabh, Jaya's and Aishwarya's families and Shweta Bachchan's in-laws, the Kapoors, only a sprinkling of names from the film industry are on the Super A-list. There's Karan Johar and mom Hiroo, Yash Chopra and wife and sons Aditya and Uday, Sanjay Dutt, Ajay Devgan and Kajol, Suneil Shetty, Goldie and Srishti Behl and Sonali Bendre, Anupam and Kirron Kher with son Sikander, Sunil Doshi and his family. And, of course, Anil and Tina Ambani and Amar Singh and his wife.
Two of Abhishek's closes buddies, Goldie Behl and Sikander Kher, will be performing at the mehndi ceremony on April 19. (Sangeet is on April 18). Their clothes have been specially designed by the Bachchans' favourite designer duo, Abu Jani and Sandeep Khosla. We've also heard that a 'non-filmi' choreographer has been roped in by Goldie and Sikander to teach them the turns. Rehearsals are on in full swing right now. Goldie and Sikander want to get their steps just right before their the A-plus audience.

Meanwhile, speculation has already started on where the golden couple will honeymoon. Ash's neighbour Prahlad Kakkar says he did offer Abhishek the option of honeymooning at his scuba diving school in Lakshadweep. He says, "I told Abhishek that I would keep the press off my school. But he refused the offer saying, 'It sounds like a plan!'" |
