Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan’s wedding, which took place on 20 April, 2007, was an intimate affair with many Bachchan family’s close friends were not invited and to make up sweet boxes were sent to them.
However, Shatrughan Sinha, who shared screen space with Big B in films like Bombay To Goa, Kaala Patthar, Naseeb, Shaan, and Dostana, returned the wedding sweets to the Bachchan family.
Revealing the reason of limited guests, Abhishek Bachchan shared on Koffee With Karan, “Very honestly, people are forgetting a very, very major reason why our family wanted to keep it very intimate. There was an ailing grandmother at the hospital and my father said that ‘you know, we do not feel good about going out there and having a big celebration.’ Did I want to invite? Did my family want to invite? Did her family want to invite the entire world? Yes. But our parents, all together, sent out a card seeking the blessings of everybody. And everybody was ok with that except for one person who returned that. And that was fine. That was Shatrughan uncle, he returned the card and that was fine. We accepted it back. You can’t please everyone.”
On the other hand, Shatrughan Sinha explained the reason of sending sweets back and told Mid-Day, “Jab bulaaya nahin phir mithai kis baat ki? (when you are not invited, why is the need to send sweets). I won’t be put in second place and embarrass him by accepting the sweets. The least I expected was that either Amitabh or someone from the family would call me up before sending the sweets. When that was not done, why the mithai?”
Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan have a daughter named Aaradhya Bachchan.
