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.

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.
