The wedding of actor Abhishek Bachchan to actress Aishwarya Rai last
year was perhaps the most widely media covered wedding event in India
this decade. Pages and pages of media editorials and news and video and
advertising footage were devoted towards Pratiksha and Jalsa, the house
of the Bachchans. But after the wedding, a section the media painted
Amitabh Bachchan as an 'elitist' for not inviting everybody to the
private function. As names such as stars Shah Rukh Khan, Aamir Khan,
Hrithik Roshan, ex-film star and high profile BJP leader Shatrughan
Sinha, not to mention national level congress politicians like Sonia
Gandhi were missing at the wedding.
One year later, in his blog at (bigb.bigadda.com), Amitabh Bachchan finally addressed the issue directly in detail and explained to his fans as such:
" 
I
find it below my dignity to give explanations to a matter that in my
reckoning, is firmly embedded in the private domain. But let me tell
you this. Every member of my entire staff with their families, people
who have worked and remained with us for over 30 years, drivers,
cleaners, kitchen staff, peons, minders, office bearers, security,
helpers - formed the major portion of my list. They came as my guests.
Not to work that day or help. They were my invited guests. My family,
Jaya, Abhishek, Shweta, my grand children and I all sat with them and
looked after them, served them food with our own hands and nothing in
the world could have given us more pleasure than doing that. For me
they were my most important guests. I did not need anyone else, for
they were people who tirelessly have worked day in out with us. Lived
through our pain and glory, through success and failure, through
sadness and joy and never ever changed. They remained
devoted...committed and constant. Their allegiance and sincerity never
in doubt."

| Amitabh Bachchan, Juhi Chawla awarded for cultural promotion |
London, May 02: Bollywood actors Amitabh Bachchan and
Juhi Chawla were awarded for their contribution to cultural
promotion at a function at the court house Kempenski here.
Lord Navnit Dholakia, NRI and Deputy Leader of the liberal democrats in the House of Lords, presented the 'International Award for Cultural Promotion' for 2008 to Bachchan last night describing him as an icon of the film industry. Expressing gratitude to the star, Lord Dholakia said Bachchan, named the greatest star of the millennium by BBC online poll, had been a remarkable ambassador, not only in India, but for Indians all over the world. "You have promoted the best in India all over the globe," he said. In his brief response, the superstar, who flew in here yesterday afternoon from Bangkok, thanked the organisers for choosing him for the award. Referring to Dholakia's remarks that his Scottish wife had seen Bachchan-starrer "Sholay" 15 times, Bachchan said, "We try our best to build bridges among the people." Kartar Lalvani, an NRI entrepreneur and Chief of Vitabiotics, a leading vitamin producing company, presented the 'Cultural Promotion Award' to actor Juhi Chawla. Chawla said she hoped to continue working to live up to the expectations of the people. |

Here
is the secret mantra of Ash Abhi's successful marriage life. He says
that when it comes to sharing things, his wife Ash takes the first
seat. He feels that in Indian society marriage works following this
rule and he too implements this in his happily married life.
Ash and Abhi share a strong bond with each other and complement each others achievement. Family comes first for them and amidst their busy schedule they find time to spend with each other and with Amitabh and Jaya. They had spent their first marriage anniversary in the beautiful locales of Miami. Though Amitabh and Jaya failed to be with them for their hectic schedule, they interacted with them via video conferencing.
Ash is taking great interest in reviving Amitabh's ABCL which he almost shunned after incurring heavy loss. There are many films that Ash and Abhi are doing together. They are cast opposite each other in Mani Ratnam's upcoming project, Rajeev Menon's Dhun and Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Bajirao Mastani. Ramgopal Varma's Sarkar Raj is almost ready to hit the silver screen where Ash will be seen in a totally different role with Amitabh Bachchan and Abhishek Bachchan.

A report in a section of the press stating that Amitabh Bachchan would
be playing the role of Bangladesh's founding father Sheikh Mujibur
Rahman has the mega-star completely stumped, puzzled, and amused.
"I've no idea what all this is about. Lots of media persons have been
calling since yesterday. I can't say where and how this report
originated from. But it is not true," said the Big B from London on
Saturday morning just before he boarded his flight back to Mumbai. Not
only does the report state with absolute authority that the Big B plays
Mujbir Rahman, it also quotes the film's producer as saying that the
rest of the Bachchan clan, Abhishek and Aishwarya, will also feature in
this bio-pic.
Continues the Big B, "I've no clue about this. There's nothing to it.
At least not as far as I'm concerned. I'm hearing all this talk about
this film for the first time." This isn't the first time that producers
have made premature or unfounded announcements about the Big B's
presence in a project. But it would have been interesting to watch him
play a historical character. In all these years of superstardom, the
Big B has never played a biographic figure. The closest he came to it
was in Ram Gopal Varma's Sarkar where his role had shades of Bal Thackeray.

New Delhi, May 3: Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan has appealed to Health Minister Anbumani Ramadoss to enact a law that would ban alcohol drinking scenes in films, in a strictly tongue-in-cheek entry on his blog.
