Proud parents to be Abhishek and Aishwarya |
Aishwarya is said to have worn an orange-coloured Indian ensemble for
the occasion. If guests are to be believed, she looked ethereal, with
the glow of any mother-to-be on her face. The actress, married to
Abhishek Bachchan, is eight months pregnant.
"Aishwarya was looking like a 'chand ka tukda'. She was looking
beautiful. We wish Abhishek and Aishwarya all the best," Saira Banu, who
gifted Aishwarya a gold coin, told a news channel.
Choreographer Saroj Khan, who has made Aishwarya dance on songs like
Nimbooda, Taal se taal mila and Barso re, shared some scenes from the
Bachchan household.
"I have never seen so many celebrity women together. All the women
went up to Aishwarya and blessed her. Jayaji received each guest
personally and was very warm. Even her daughter, Shweta, gave personal
attention to everyone. There were a lot of songs and celebration," said
Khan.
The veteran choreographer wasn't just praises for Aishwarya alone,
but also for Abhishek, who wore a white sherwani style kurta. "Aishwarya
looked pretty in orange. Her face had such a glow. She was decorated
with mogra flowers. Even Abhishek looked extremely happy. God bless them
both and may the child have a long life," she added.
Make-up artist Mickey Contractor helped Aishwarya get ready for the
special day.
Other guests included Urmila Matondkar, Twinkle Khanna, Sonali Bendre,
Manyata Dutt, Ritu Nanda, Neetu Kapoor, Neelam Kothari, Mana Shetty,
Vaibhavi Merchant, Poonam Sinha, designer duo Abu Jani-Sandeep Khosla
and Karan Johar, among others.
Aishwarya's father-in-law, megastar Amitabh Bachchan, had revealed
the news of her pregnancy through his Twitter account in June. The baby
is due mid-November. businessofcinema |
