Aishwarya & Abhishek, Amitabh & Jaya

Aishwarya Rai and hubby Abhishek Bachchan are back at home for festivities after a whirlwind shooting schedule in Boston and Namibia respectively. The Bachchans kick- started the festivities with a pre-Karva Chauth tea party at Jalsa on Sunday evening. Strictly meant for ladies, high-profile socialites and tinsel town divas were invited to Bachchan's Juhu bungalow, Jalsa. Dressed in Manish Malhotra and Tarun Tahiliani outfits and diamond jewellery, the ladies sat for a mehndi applying session.

The Bachchans had called the best mehndi artistes in town for the do. Jaya Bachchan and Aishwarya were seen playing hosts. As far as family is concerned, Shweta Nanda, Ajitabh Bachchan, his wife Ramola and daughter Namrata were present. Amongst the guests, we spotted Neetu Kapoor, Reema Kapoor, Sonali Bendre, Shrishti Arya, Tina Ambani, Kirron Kher and Mana Shetty (Suniel Shetty's wife).

Apparently, Abhishek threatened to gatecrash along with his friends. Initially he was asked to keep away. However, after much resistance, the ladies had to give in as Abhishek marched in and greeted the guests. A guest who attended the party on condition of anonymity says, "It was an informal gathering mostly attended by women. We applied special mehndi for Karva Chauth, and had some nice chaat for snacks. Aishwarya's mother Brinda Rai and sister-in-law Srima was also present. Abhishek and Amitabh joined us much later in the evening."

The ladies also exchanged mithais and dry fruits for sargi, which is an early morning ritual on Karva Chauth day when women have a meal before commencing their fast.

Aishwarya has been playing a traditional bahu to the hilt, as she kept a day-long fast as it was her first-ever Karva Chauth.

Later in the evening yesterday, the same guests arrived at Jalsa for the evening puja. Another actress says, "The Bachchans are known for their lavish Karva Chauth puja. All their family friends got together for the evening puja, where they prayed for their husband's long life. This year it was kind of special as it was Ash's first Karva Chauth along with the family."

Reportedly, all women must only wear traditional clothes at this event. "No one is supposed to strut in their denims at the gathering in Bachchans's house. Most of the ladies bring out their best outfits and jewellery for this event," adds another guest.
