I have read most (if not all) the messages before posting this one. Chill out guys!!!. Its not a question of Hindu-Muslim. The reason why the Khans (Aamir, Shahrukh, and Salman), Javed Akhtar, Dharmendra & Hema Malini etc. were not invited was not beacause they are muslims and hindus but because today they are in no way useful to Bacchans. They have only invited people from film industry who can benfit them with special focus on producers, and directors. If the Khans were not invited its OK, they are not that close to Bacchans but I am surprised to read that Dharmendra & Javed Akhtar was not invited. These were the people who really help Amitabh in his struggling days. He should have invited them.
Regarding invitation to the media, it is ones choice. Bacchans have the right to decide whether to invite media person or not. They decided not to, its fine. Nobody should have an objection to that. But media persons should have responded properly with some self respect, they shouldn't have made such a hype out of it. Quality of Jounalism/Media is at its rock bottom. They are so many important issues than Ash-Abhishek wedding.
Regarding the objections raised by some viewers that Ash ditched Salman & Vivek. In my opinion, Ash didn't ditched Salman, it was a break up which like Ash-Salman common to most individuals. But definitely, she fooled and ditched poor guy Vivek. He is no were now. His carrier is at its rock-bottom. He fought with so many people in the industry for only Ash, e.g. Salman (episode known to everybody), he fought with Kunal Kohli when he went to him to offer the role in HumTum which Saif later did. He insisted Kunal to take Ash in place of Rani Mukherjee as Rani and Ash were not on good terms. The terms between Rani and Ash got starined when Rani replaced Ash in the movie Chalte Chalte. I realy feel sorry for the poor guy Vivek. He is now like Dhobi ka kutta, na ghar ka na ghat ka.
Lets not get divided on Hindu-Muslim. We have been a victim of this for long long time. First the britishers used it, and politicians are using it now to get votes. Bye Guys!!!!!!!

Very sensible comment above. This is the right analysis of this so called "beauty queen's" story. But she dumped salman also. Salman has never spoken about this affair to the media except for once when he said that he felt cheated. His brother arbaaz has spoken about it and has said that she never acknowledged her love for salman. Arbaaz had also said that she will never acknowledge even vivek which turned out right. Rani and vivek were friends before but now they don't see eye to eye. Vivek made so many enemies because of Ash, but now he is left with nothing. The whole world knows that she got married to this guy just for the Bacchan name. Totally manipulative. She married a tree just to enter into this famous family. She says she is a woman of substance but what kind of message is she sending to the women of India. She has stooped so low, it is unbelievable. After all this people are sitting and glorifying her and this marriage. She is not a woman of substance.

totally agree with the content of priya raj's article on ash.Ash is one person who personifies the terms wooden and plastic....let alone her non stop giggles or the very artificial accent that she sports she is totally lost and trying to be someone who she is absolutely not!!!she obviously pales in comparison to a sushmita sen or a lara dutta!!and to glorify the abhi ash saga is down right silly...with all due respect to peoples personal lives the wedding was truly covered in a very voyeuristic fashion...those non stop pictures of the shut gates were down right irritating!!!and the raging debate whether ash should continue work or not is equally disturbing...it would spare us the hysterics she puts up both on and off screen which she alone calls acting!!!i fail to understand what quality work she has done for the debate about whether or not she should work even comes up!!!!with utmost regards one can wish them a happy married life...but to mix up ash's over hyped persona and the bachchans pseudo attitudes with their marriage is ridiculous!!

I totally agree with Sharath. Being from California, it was embarrassing to see the way she behaved on Letterman and 60 minutes! And you are right, what is up with that accent? We get it, you are gorgeous, but seriously...the accent? LOL. And this whole wedding business was totally ridiculous. Yeah, their marriage is their private affair, but honestly, by keeping it SOOOOO hush hush, it seemed like they wanted more paparazzi and hungama. If they were a little normal with the press, perhaps a lot of their problems would have been avoided. The thing I don't understand is...aishwarya is so famous bc of the people and abhishek...well cuz of his dad...but his dad is famous cuz of the people, the least they could have done is given a formal photo to the audience and country that WORSHIPS them for what reason I don't know. This whole thing was kind such a huge circus.. Oh well, what do you expect from a bunch of actors anyway?

Ash getting married to a tree puts India in very bad light. As it is there are so many women issues in India, getting married to a tree was the last thing anybody needed. Most women are very upset about this.

Yeah, I couldn't believe she went through all that!!! I mean I respect religion and tradition, but honestly, wasn't that a step backward for women in India who've been working so hard to get rid of stuff like that...that too, coming from a MISS WORLD? UGHHH, she's so weird! I really don't understand her. I mean I dont know what her intention was, perhaps it was to please her family, which is important, but as a huge figure, don't you have to THINK, before you do things like that, like what outcome itll have on the people. Yeah, stars shouldn't care, but at the same time they have to....they asked for it when they decided to be Paro from Devdas etc...

Hey Guys,
For us (those who r not related to Ash & Abhi)this should be an entertainment. We are no body to discuss on their personal life. whether she had ditched 10 or 20 guys....she got the right one now.good family, good guy & good lifetime security. This is very rare for a film actress. I wish them happy married life.
