Patna'ites Celebrate Abhi-Ash Wedding in their own Way
Patna: April 19, 2007
Ardent fans of film stars Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai, who are all set to tie the matrimonial knot amidst massive media glare in Mumbai on Friday, took the 'baraat' of the couple in Patna on Thursday wishing the couple a long, happy conjugal life.
Complete with a band and life-size cutouts and posters of Bachchan and Rai, the 'baraat' with the make believe 'Bachchan' in a Suzuki car, marched through various streets in Patna much to the curiosity of the onlookers.
"It does not matter that we were not invited for the wedding. We just want the couple to be happy for a long, long time to come," said Rakesh Kumar Singh, the organizer of the event.
After the 'wedding', the 'baratis' were invited for a feast at Singh's residence.
"This is all in good fun, of course," said another 'barati' who said he was a dedicated fan of Amitabh Bachchan for as long as he could remember and now he was also a huge admirer of his son Abhishek Bachchan.
