Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai exchanged marital vows at a very private wedding ceremony on Friday evening.

The wedding took place at the Bachchan residence Pratiksha where Ash arrived with her family at 2.00 pm in a Mercedes car. The bungalow in Juhu was decorated with orange, yellow marigold flowers and banana leaves, quiet typical of the South Indian community (Bunt) to which Ash belongs.

Later in the day, around 5 pm, Abhishek, the groom, stepped out of the other Bachchan residence Jalsa, dressed as the dulha in a gold-embroidered white sherwani and his face covered with the traditional Indian sehra. Abhishek was apparently very happy and danced even as he sat on a horse with his nephew Agastya (sister Shweta’s son).

Amitabh Bachchan and other members of the baraat were seen wearing saffron turbans. Anil Ambani, Ajay Devgan , A R Rahman , Ritesh Deshmukh and Ram Gopal Varma wore the turbans. Yash Chopra , Karan Johar , Ayan and Aman Ali Bangash, Tina Ambani, Kajol Dimple Kapadia and Sonali Bendre were also part of the procession.

Amitabh himself cheered the baraatis as the marriage procession moved to Pratiksha in a number of buses.

It took the baraat at least half an hour to get to Pratiksha. Members from the groom’s family danced to dhol beats in front of the wedding venue. By 6 pm Abhishek and the entire baraat had entered Pratiksha.

Meanwhile, celebrities kept coming in at the wedding venue. Among the guests were Rishi Kapoor , Nitu Singh, Prem Chopra , Shammi Kapoor , Preity Zinta with boyfriend Ness Wadia, Sanjay Dutt , Danny Denzongpa , J P Dutta, Ashutosh Gowarikar and Sachin Tendulkar.

It is learnt from a source that inside Pratiksha, Aishwarya, dressed as the bride, came to the marriage mandap in a palanquin. The saat phere were conducted according to the Hindu rites.

Aishwarya’s doli will leave for sasural from her Bandra residence La Mer apartments.
