The most-talked about Bollywood couple Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai on Saturday sought blessings of the deity at the famous Vindhyavasini Temple, making their first public appearance together after their engagement.

The Bachchan family led by Amitabh Bachchan, which arrived to participate in the 51st birthday celebrations of Samajwadi Party General Secretary Amar Singh, offered prayers at the temple of Maa Bhagwati, seeking her blessings in the run-up to the Abhishek-Aishwarya wedding.

In what is being seen as a pre-nuptial ceremony, Abhishek and Aishwarya performed parikarama of the deity and also performed the Bhagwati Pooja.

Bachchan’s here, Bachchan’s there and Bachchan’s everywhere. On Saturday, Bollywood's first family along with Abhishek's fiancee Aishwarya Rai were in the Capital and it was a long day for the Bachchans.

After spending Saturday morning in Vindhyanchal attending close friend Amar Singh's birthday celebration, Amitabh Bachchan with his entire family Jaya, Shweta, Abhishek and Aishwarya made their way to the French Embassy in Delhi in the evening.

Sharbari Dutta, who has designed Abhishek Bachchan's trousseau collection, reveals what the Rais are gifting their son-in-law-to-be....

It's not Abhishek's star status that Sharbari Dutta can't get over. The Kolkata-based designer, who has designed the trousseau collection that the Rais are gifting their damaad, still finds it hard to believe that she's designed for a guy who's 6 ft 3 inches!

Vrinda Rai, Aishwarya's mother, gave Sharbari till January 22 to complete the collection, and though she says it was a tall task, Sharbari sent it off right on time.

With the most-talked about wedding of Bollywood around the corner, and a slew of films in the pipeline, Amitabh Bachchan has a lot to look forward in the near future. CNN-IBN correspondent Suhasini Haidar spoke to Big B moments after he received the French honour Legion d'honneur at the French Embassy in the Capital.

The whole country might be debating whether the vermillion on Aishwarya Rai's forehead, after a visit to a temple, meant that the hautest couple in Bollywood had tied the knot, Abhishek and Ash themselves appeared unfazed and nonchalant.

Abhiash, who made their first public appearance after their engagement was announced, were like any other much in love couple.

The duo was present with the entire family at the French Embassy in the city where the prestigious Legion of Honour was being conferred on Amitabh Bachchan.

If humility is the hallmark of greatness, Amitabh Bachchan is its brand ambassador. But even this entertainment legend is not immune to pulls of competition and rivalry. With the Shah Rukh Khan-Big B rivalry virtually the subject of prime time debate, Bachchan made light of the suggestion that he faced any challenge when The Times of India caught up with him at the New Delhi residence of his friend, Amar Singh.

Having carved out a niche for himself both in action and comedy films, Bollywood star Suniel Shetty still gets excited about scripts and wants to take up challenging roles, says Madhur Tankha...

Revealing that his priority right now is his home production, Suniel says: "I am concentrating all my energies on `Raaste' that stars Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai. Both look great and I get along well with them. In fact, I gave Abhishek a chance to act in one of my productions even though he was not doing very well at the box-office. Now, he has proved his detractors wrong. The film will also star John Abraham."
