Big B won’t be with Abhi-Ash on their first wedding anniversary

It isn’t as if Abhishek and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan planned to be in Miami for their first wedding anniversary. “It just happened,” says the Big B.

Abhishek is shooting in Miami for Dostana. And Aishwarya joined him. Mumbai will be able to see the couple and wish them on their big day.

Says Amitabh, “We’ll get them by a new technology called Skyscape to speak from Miami to mediapersons in Mumbai at the launch of Sarkar Raj which happens to be on the same evening as their anniversary.”

Ram Gopal Varma says, “It’s just a coincidence that the unveiling of Sarkar Raj will take place on April 20, “I didn’t even remember it was Abhishek and Aishwarya’s wedding anniversary on that date. We decided to do the first look party of Sarkar Raj on this day because it’s six weeks before the release. I don’t keep track of anyone’s birthdays and anniversaries, not even mine.”

Ramu is excited about something else.

“This is the first time the actors of an Indian film will be connected to the media via satellite. We’re doing it through a technology known as Skyscape. I think it’s very exciting to reach out by modern technology in this way.” Bachchan Senior will be physically present in Mumbai at the event.

Tell Ramu that the Sarkar Raj event will be eclipsed by the excitement of the lead pair’s wedding anniversary, and he shrugs. “It doesn’t matter. We can’t separate Abhishek and Aishwarya’s life from Sarkar Raj.”
