If you are a Khan, you are persona non-grata. At least, as far as the Bachchans and the Rais are concerned. The Abhishek-Aishwarya high-profile marriage will take place on April 20 (and this time the date seems to be "lock kiya jaye") and none of the three Super Khans ruling Bollywood are not invited, thank you.

With Salman getting the royal ignore being quite expected and understandable (nobody would want a mandap-breaking scene, you know), Shah Rukh too is not on the list of invitees.

After Don and KBC, and his veiled attacks on the Bachchan, what did he expect from the Big B? Also, it must be rememebred that though he acted with Ash in Josh (as her brother) and Devdas (as her besotted lover) and got on famously with Ash, they had a massive split after that.

That leaves Aamir, but who is hardly considered close enough and one doesn't remember Aamir inviting the Bachchans or the Rais to his marriage with Kiran Rao! So Aamir has also been left out in the thanda.

But the strange news is that even though the shaadiwalas share close family ties with the other Khans (Saif, Fardeen and Zayed), they too have not been extended the official nimantran patra.

And with the wedding only a week away, it's unlikely that a phone invitation will be extended, or accepted.

As a face-saver, Salman has it known that he will be shortly leaving for the USA for 'personal work'. The rumour that Shah Rukh had bumped into Ash and Abhi at a post-party for the Zee Cine Awards in Malaysia, where the couple extended him an invitation, has been denied by Shah Rukh himself.

"I did not meet them post the show, neither have they invited me to their wedding. Regardless, I wish them the best," he said.

Meanwhile, the shoot-from-the-hip Feroz Khan preferred to maintain a stoic silence on his invite not showing up. Ironically, Ash had attended both Fardeen and Zayed's shaadi last year.

One more Khan, choreographer Farah, known to be close to Abhishek though not as close as she is to SRK, has also been ignored. Her brother, director-anchor-comedian Sajid Khan, added cheekily, "I haven't got the call. I don't think I will get a letter of regret either!"

Meanwhile, Saif can also cover up by using his Dubai shoot for Abbas-Mustan's upcoming film, Race, as an alibi.

It is hoped that at least Hrithik Roshan and Akshay Kumar will be done the honours, they are the only two to stand up against all the Khans in the box-office stakes. -
