Bollywood star Amitabh Bachchan is angry with the media for saying that his family visited several temples and performed rituals because of a flaw in the horoscope of his new daughter-in-law, actress Aishwarya Rai. “I have not seen Aishwarya’s horoscope. Neither has she. Two people have decided to get married ... she’s a blessing to the family,” the actor told the Hindustan Times newspaper.
Bachchan’s actor son Abhishek married Rai, a former beauty queen and one of India’s top actresses, in a glittering ceremony in April. The Indian media have reported that both families made religious offerings at temples in northern India considered auspicious among Hindus. The reports also claimed that Rai is “manglik” or has Mars in her astrological chart, a condition many in the conservative country believe can be disastrous for marriage.Some news reports suggested that Rai underwent a number of rituals before the marriage took place to end her “manglik” status. Bachchan has always denied those reports. “I ask you as a citizen, is it a crime to go to a temple?” Bachchan said in the interview. Abhishek, 31, and Rai, 33, have worked together in several movies.In their most recent collaboration, ‘Guru’, Bachchan plays a man from a small Indian village who works his way up to becoming a top industrialist, while Rai plays his supportive wife. The two also starred in the period drama ‘Umrao Jaan’, ‘Kuch Na Kaho’ or ‘Say No More’, and ‘Dhaai Akshar Prem Ke’ or ‘Two and a Half Words of Love’.
