Bollywood actor and son of Bollywood legend, Amitabh Bachchan, Abhishek Bachchan has finally wed his sweetheart, former Miss World Aishwarya Rai. The couple got married just today April 20th in a traditional Hindu wedding in which the groom rode a white horse before the pair took their vows around a sacred fire.
The ceremonies concluded three days of celebrations at the actors' homes in India's entertainment capital of Mumbai, creating, what industry pundits said is, Bollywood's ultimate power couple.
But something dramatic happened to almost mar the smooth running of the wedding ceremony after an Indian woman claiming to be Bachchan's lover slashed her wrist in front of his home.
She told reporters she wanted to kill herself because Bachchan had gone back on his promise of marrying her after having "physical relations" with her.
Police arrested the woman -- described as a struggling fashion model -- for attempting suicide, a punishable offence in India.
Police refused to register a complaint against Bachchan, saying the model had no proof of the relationship and it looked like a publicity stunt.
Rai and Bachchan have worked together in at least five films, and both have been romantically linked in the past to other Bollywood stars.
Here's wishing the power couple happy married life.
