Abhishek Bachchan and his wife Aishwarya Rai would be leaving early Friday morning on their honeymoon to the exotic locales of Europe.
Sources close to the couple said the duo would be leaving by an early morning flight for France and be spending their time mostly there during their fortnight stay in Europe.
The couple got married at the Bachchan residence `Pratiksha’ in Mumbai on April 20.
After the marriage, they first visited Tirupati temple in Andhra Pradesh along with Amitabh Bachchan .
Meanwhile, the management of the Lord Venkateswara temple at Tirumala near Tirupati Thursday ordered a probe into “over-enthusiasm” shown by some officials in providing VIP treatment to newly-weds Ash and Abhishek during their visit to the shrine on Sunday.
The Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanam Board also upheld a decision that VIP treatment would not be accorded to non- protocol celebrities like actors, industrialists and cricketers during their visits to the temple.
Board Chairman B Karunakara Reddy told reporters that newly-appointed Executive Officer K V Ramanachary was asked to probe the “over-enthusiasm” shown by some officials in providing VIP treatment to Ash and Abhishek, which caused inconvenience to other people visiting the shrine.
Ramanachary will submit his report within 30 days, he said.
Reddy said “VIP-break darshan”, whereby persons are allowed to enter the temple on priority for an hour in the morning and evening, would not be allowed on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays.
The price of the “VIP-break darshans” too was hiked from Rs 200 to Rs 500, and this will come into effect from May 1.
The Board also decided to provide a free ‘ladoo prasadam’, now sold for Rs 25, to each person standing in the general queue from May 12, Reddy said.
