Abhi, Aish in London

With just a few weeks to go for their marriage, what are Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai doing in London?

Over the weekend, Ash and Abhi were in Malaysia where they performed at Zee Cine Awards. Now they have flown to London for another important event.

The couple will grace the premiere of Aishwarya’s much-awaited movie Provoked on Tuesday evening at the Empire Theatre, in Leicester Square. ‘Provoked’ is set for a worldwide release on the coming Friday.

The organizers have reportedly made special arrangements for Abhi and Ash’s stay in London. The couple might stay an extra day after the premiere to do some shopping for their wedding on April 20.

Sources say Aishwarya will continue to shoot for Ashutosh Gowarikar’s movie Jodha Akbar until a few days before the wedding.

‘Provoked’ is based on a real story of a Punjabi woman in the UK who suffered physical and mental abuse at the hands of her husband. Tired of torture, she killed her husband one day and was sent to prison, where, she said, she found freedom.

The movie was first screened at last year’s Cannes Film Festival, which was attended by Ash, director Jagmohan Mundhra , and Kiranjit Ahluwalia, whose story the film is.
