Salman Khan invited to Abhishek-Ash wedding reception?

Rumour has it that Salman Khan has been invited to the wedding reception of Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai .

While the Abhi-Ash wedding will strictly be a private affair (with relatives and close friends of the Bachchans and Rais), a large number of Bollywood celebrities are expected to attend the reception. And reports have it that Salman Khan, Aishwarya’s ex-flame, has also been invited.

According to the buzz, it was Amitabh Bachchan himself who called Salman’s father Salim Khan (who co-wrote scripts for many Bachchan films) and invited the entire Khan family to the reception.

Vivek Oberoi , another ex-boyfriend of Aishwarya, has reportedly not received invitation either from the Rais or the Bachchans.

It is also learnt that Salman Khan is planning to gift Abhishek a specially tailored Sherwani as the wedding gift.

Abhishek thinks Big B’s acting in 'Nishabd' better than 'Black'

Amitabh Bachchan has once again surprised his fans with his superb performance in Nishabd .

Bachchan’s performance in Ram Goal Varma ’s film is very unconventional by Bollywood standards. He has no punchy dialogues, no long monologues and no passion-filled spiels. Big B’s character in the film is very realistic and so is his performance.

Terse dialogues are punctuated by long silences in which camera lingers on Bachchan’s facial expressions. Just by a single expression, Big B brings out a series of thoughts his character may be going through. It is a performance of great control and equanimity.

Abhishek Bachchan , who had some apprehensions about the movie when he saw the rushes months back, was reportedly moved to tears by Big B’s performance after a special screening of the film last week.

So much that Abhi thinks his dad’s performance in ‘Nishabd’ is better than in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Black .

“He (Abhishek) feels my performance in Nishabd is better than Black. Abhishek made an interesting observation. He said I had huge props in Black. In Nishabd I performed without any,” Mr. Bachchan is quoted as saying by a Mumbai-based tabloid.

Abhishek was not the only one. Even filmmaker Ravi Chopra was deeply moved after watching the film.
