AISHWARYA RAI - RAI FUELS WEDDING RUMOURS

Indian movie beauty AISHWARYA RAI has further fuelled rumours she is planning to wed fellow Bollywood star ABHISHEK BACHCHAN, after declaring she believes in marriage. Reports last month (NOV06) suggested the pair were planning to marry in secret, after they were spotted performing religious rituals usually associated with married couples in two Hindu temples in Varanasi, India. A journalist claims to have witnessed the rituals, which took place in the middle of the night, while posing as a priest. The pair denied the claims, but Rai admits she's keen to get married - and will announce details of the big day when she's ready. She says, "Look, I do want to marry. When the announcement comes from me officially, you and the world will know about it. "There's nothing to hide - I believe in it. It's a beautiful institution. I leave it to God. "My family and my man's family will be the deciding factor as to when how and when you will know about it."
