Posted On Thursday, April 26, 2007 at at 14:25 by rk rishikesh sinhaThe big doyen of Indian film industry, Amitabh Bachchan, who has enthralled with his acting prowess for many decades in the hearts of million of people, this time of his son , Abhishek Bachchan’s wedding with Ashwariya Rai, the former Miss World winner, caught the wild imagination of fans and razor sharp view of media. And why not, after all, the Bachchan family is a family of stars in a country where there is a thin line between reel and real.
Innumerable international and national media carried the grand marriage in one breathe. Amitabh, despite being offered as news report appeared was approached by an international television channel to cover the marriage, but he thought to turn down the offer, though best known to him.
The media, particularly the Indian media, which have been continually detailing the life of Bachchan, his wife Jaya Bachchan, son Abhishek Bachchan and now Ashwariya Rai, were unfortunately kept at bay. It seems the Big B wanted his son’s marriage private away from the glare of media.
Television channel were lined up in the gate of Big B reporting live any smattering news pouring out from the house. The BBC carried the marriage news as “Bollywood celebrates star wedding”. Where most of the channels were busy in digging itinerary of their marriage facts, there were other analyzing the financial aspects of the marriage. One came out with the proposition that after the marriage the Bachchan’s family would become the most powerful family in Bollywood.
If media reports are to be believed only 100 people were invited amidst sea of known names in the Big B’s life that spans from fans, to politics, to arts and to bollywood. The Abhishek- Ash marriage, where it got lot of participation added with inquisitiveness from every section of the society, it was marred with a girl’s alleged allegation of Abhshek’s betrayal of marriage promise given to her. The girl, Jhanvi much publicized allegation came as a bolt from the blue for Bachchan’s family.
Besides this, the high profile marriage also got flak from the people of Allahabad, the hometown of Big B. People of Allahabad, who revere him and his family, were disappointed of the fact that their association with the actor was not taken into consideration. The emotional attachment that the people of Allahabad had with the family is understandable.
In a country of billion a marriage can supersede and it was proved in this marriage. General people wants to see and watch their actors on and off the screen, but there are others and there are issues that has to be given due importance. It is really sorry; media was swayed by the marriage of two individuals.
