The Observer has reported that the wedding of Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan would be the greatest wedding in the Indian history.

This will be a 10 day long event, expected to take place with in a month. More than 5000 people are on the guest list. Venues are a private estate outside Mumbai and a Palace in Rajasthan India. The Observer quotes Bollywood columnist Amita Ghosh:

‘For Indians across the world this wedding will be as big as Charles and Diana’s was for the British,’ said Bollywood gossip columnist Amita Ghosh. ‘The question people are asking here right now is: why all the fuss about Liz Hurley? Perhaps this is why the media here have turned against Liz, nobody really knows who she is. Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan are our real stars and their wedding is the only one that counts.’

She added: ‘This wedding is a fantasy come true for many Indians. We are talking about the biggest and most star-studded guest list in Bollywood history. The couple have a hit film out in which they star as husband and wife, but this is only the start. A marriage of two such mega brands from Bollywood will result in a $100m payday for both couples from spin-offs.’

The Observer also reports that the bad signs on Aishwarya’s horoscope are calm now and astrological charts now report that the marriage would be a truely blessed one. We have talked earlier here on Desi Galaxy about Astrology and bollywood, and Aishwarya Rai marrying Trees.
