Jaya Bachchan flew back from Jaipur on Sunday, indicating that she was caught offguard by the news. Was she?

What are the plans for their wedding? The media says you would like it to happen within the next couple of months.
Nothing has been planned yet. Some members of both our families are not in town and as soon as they come in, we shall sit down and decide on dates and other formalities.
If the newspapers say a couple of months, they must be privy to information that I am unaware of.

What is manglik?
Have you offered Abhishek any advice on this big step?
Advice? For what? He?s 31 and a mature individual.

The fact that my son chose her!
