The official news is that none of the three ruling Khans, namely Salman (no points for guessing why), Shah Rukh (but naturally) and Aamir (not really close), have been invited to Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan's wedding on April 20.
Even though they share close family ties with the other Khans, Saif, Fardeen and Zayed, too have not been extended the official nimantran patra.
And with the wedding only a week away, it's unlikely that even a phone invitation will be extended.
The rumour that Shah Rukh had bumped into Ash and Abhi at a post party for the Zee Cine Awards in Malaysia, where the couple extended him an invitation has been denied by Shah Rukh.. "I did not meet them post the show, neither have they invited me to their wedding. Regardless, I wish them the best," he simply says.
Salman, too has been snubbed for obvious reasons.
Meanwhile, the usually straightforward Feroz Khan preferred to maintain a stoic silence on his invite's no-show. Ironically, Ash had attended both Fardeen and Zayed's shaadi last year.
Choreographer Farah Khan, who has worked with Abhishek in many films, has also been left out.
Her brother, director-anchor-comedian Sajid Khan, says with tongue firmly in cheek, "I haven't got the call. I don't think I will get a letter of regret either!"
Meanwhile, Saif can 'safely' say he wasn't able to attend the party (even if he were to be invited) as he has left for Dubai to shoot for Abbas-Mustan's upcoming film, Race.
It is learnt that Salman too will shortly be leaving for the USA for 'personal work'.
