Ash-Abhishek to wed in 2007?

A still from Umrao JaanThe marriage of top Bollywood stars Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai is certain to take place in February 2007, according to Bachchan family astrologer Chandrashekhara Swamiji.
He has revealed this news to highly circulated Kannada newspaper Vijayakarnataka.
Swamiji, who lives in his ashram in Bangalore's RT Nagar, is astrologer to many film personalities including Dr Raj Kumar's family and producer Rockline Venkatesh. According to sources, Aishwarya and Abhishek visited the Swami several times during the Karnataka schedule of their film Guru, directed by Mani Ratnam.
The film was shot in Hospet and several places in Northern Karnataka, and the couple visited the Swamiji to consult him on many matters, including a probable marriage date. The Swami is believed to have scrutinised the celestial birthday Jathakas of the couple before giving them his advice.
Chandrashekhara Swamiji has been in regular contact with the Bachchans. He has reportedly also conducted havans and poojas for the family's well being. Apparently, Amitabh and Jaya Bachchan also visited the ashram a year ago.
Swamiji has revealed that Aishwarya will probably make an announcement of her marriage on November 1, her birthday. According to the report, Aishwarya (born in Dhanu Rashi) and Abhishek (born in Kumbha Rashi) could have had some problems. The marriage was likely to face roadblocks in 2006, the astrologer had felt.
But, from October 27, when the planetary positions change, both Ash and Abhi will have the support of Jupiter (Guru-bruhaspathi).
The Swami, who has closely studied Ash's Jathaka, feels that the number eight is not compatible for her and marriage in 2006 -- which adds up to 8 -- would have led to trouble for the couple. 'That is why I advised them to marry in 2007,' he explains, 'which adds up to 9, a lucky number for both Aishwarya and Abhishek.'

Abhishek and Ash to wed in february?
By MovieTalkies, 27 October 2006The rumour mills are spinning at full speed with specualtions that Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai are planning on getting married in February 2007. We really don't know how much truth there is to these rumours or whether it's a publicity stunt to promote both JP Dutta's Umrao Jaan and Mani Ratnam's Guru. It seems as though the fact that in spite of both Ash and Abhishek being in Mumbai, they have been separately promoting Umrao Jaan as opposed to making appearances together adding more fuel to the fire. Is there more to this than rumours?
DON disappoints critics but not the box office
By MovieTalkies 24 October 2006Although the critics may not have taken a liking to Farhan Akthar’s Don, the film is doing phenomenal business at the box office. After Jammu having reported Don as raking in the biggest opening for any film ever in Jammu, distributors and exhibitors across the country have been expressing that not only did Don have a huge opening, as of Monday the collections were still steady. As stated by Anil Thadani, the Mumbai distributor in a recent television interview, Don has had one of the biggest openings ever for a film in the pre Diwali, Ramadan period. Looks like the holiday season has definitely brought great prosperity to the Don team and although critics have out rightly rejected the film, the audience reaction has been mixed, from those who have really loved it, to those who have hated it, but if we go by the box office results, Don seems to be a winner.

Jolie, Pitt land in trouble?
Anil Sharma (Indo-Asian News Service)
Jodhpur, October 26, 2006
Authorities at the Jodhpur airport are contemplating an inquiry against Hollywood's star couple Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt for landing their helicopter in a hotel compound in Jodhpur without permission.
While the air traffic controller (ATC) remained tight-lipped over the entire issue, airport officials said a probe would be instituted.
The couple, who arrived on October 20 by helicopter from Jaipur for a two-day trip, landed in the Bardari lawns at the Umed Bhavan Palace Hotel.
Sources at the city's airport said the actors had sought permission to land at the Jodhpur airport. But they were denied landing rights by the air traffic controller (ATC) for want of prior sanction.
So, the Mr and Mrs Smith stars went ahead and landed within the Umed Bhavan Palace compound.
City administration officials said that they have no information about the case.
"We don't have any knowledge of the incident. We are looking into the matter and we will find out whether any rules have been flouted or not. But it is the primary responsibility of the ATC," city magistrate B.R. Belu said.
The actors, their son Maddox and their 21-member Hollywood unit, were welcomed by members of the Jodhpur royalty at the palace hotel. Hotel sources said they celebrated Diwali here.
Jolie-Pitt land in trouble!!
Brangelina, as the couple is known together, is said to have purchased traditional kundan and minakari jewellery from Gems & Art Plaza - a Jodhpur-based jewellery showroom.
Jolie and Pitt are camping in Pune to shoot for A Mighty Heart, a film on the Wall Street Journal journalist Daniel Pearl who was abducted and slain by terrorists in Pakistan in 2002.
Jolie plays Pearl's widow Mariane in the film.
The couple has two adopted children, Maddox and Zahara, and also a biological child, Shiloh.
The stars reportedly left for Pune on Monday.
