Aishwarya Rai

As if the reports of her ‘impending marriage’ with Abhishek Bachchan were not enough, there is buzz now that Aishwarya Rai may have to tie the knot two times to make her marriage successful.

Just two days back, Aishwarya was with the Bachchans offering prayers at the temples in Varanasi. Ash’s presence in the important religious ceremonies by the Bachchans is a clear indication of her acceptance by the family. it has also fuelled rumours of her ‘impending marriage’ with Abhishek.

But before tying the knot with Abhi, Ash may have to perform some complex ceremonies and rituals.

According to a tabloid report, Ash may have to undergo a ‘Kumbh Vivah’ before marrying Abhishek. This ritual is mandatory, as Ash is believed to be a manglik.

As part of the Kumbh Vivah, she may have to marry a peepal or banana tree before her marriage with Abhi.

While these reports may sound ludicrous at first, there may be some substance to them considering that the Bachchans are a very religious family.

Meanwhile, no confirmation has yet come from either Ash or Abhi about their marriage in the near future.
