Oops Who's Uninvited Ash

After the innumerable speculations and predictions about the Abhi-Ash wedding date and preparations, the talks rounds is the ‘guest list’ – who all were invited, and more importantly, who weren’t Only recently it was reported that only a select few celebrities have made it to the guest list.

The Bachchans may have claimed that the wedding is a close knit family affair. However, it comes as a surprise when industry insiders inform that even Abhi’s childhood friend Hrithik Roshan hasn’t been invited. And Rani Mukherjee, whom many believe that Abhi shares the best online chemistry with, and claims is a very good friend, hasn’t received a wedding card, yet.Apparently, Hrithik Roshan, Rani Mukherjee, Shah Rukh Khan, JP Dutta, Bipasha Basu, John Abraham have also not been invited by the Bachchans, in spite of their close affiliation with the family, especially with Abhishek.

If rumours are to be believed, only eleven film families – Kirron-Sikander Kher, Goldie Behl-Sonali Bendre, Rohan Sippy, Ajay Devgan-Kajol, Riteish Deshmukh, Karan Johar and mom Heeru, the Chopras – Yash Chopra, Aditya and Uday, Sunil and Mana Shetty are the only ones to have made it to the wedding list so far.Leave alone our dear industrywalas, even some members of Fourth Estate, known for their loyalty and affinity towards the Bachchans have been conveniently ignored.

So, has the limited number of invitees to the supposedly biggest film shaadi led to many-an-ego-breakdown? Because some of the uninvited still pretend to be up on the priority list of the B’s. But sadly won’t be able to make it to the mandap to bless the dahling couple as they will be “out of town”, or so they say, or because they’re still awaiting the multi-paged wedding invitation which is certainly not on its way. However, the simple truth is that they just haven’t been invited.

We can well understand why the Bachchans may have avoided inviting Salman Khan and Viveik Oberoi for the Abhiash wedding. After all, the ‘No ex-lovers please’ mantra is well justified. And so, the avoidance of the Kapoors (Karisma & Kareena Kapoor) from the sacrosanct union is also understandable, but what isn’t is the exclusion of the rest of the film fraternity – the so-called ‘close friends’ of the jodi.
