So who are the people Hema Malini considers closest to her family from the Bollywood folk?
Looks like it's the Bachchans! For daughter Esha's wedding ceremony today, which is strictly a family affair, only the Bachchan family has been invited. An exception was made for the Bachchans as Big B isn't well.
Says a source, "He asked Hema if he could attend the wedding for a short while to bless the couple and leave." Amitabh with Jaya, Abhishek and Aishwarya with baby Aaradhya are expected to attend the nuptials at a temple in Juhu.
It's not just this time that the Bachchans have been given preference over the other B-Town folk. Even at Esha's engagement a few months back, Jaya Bachchan was among the few to attend the do.
The entire Bollywood industry has been invited to attend Esha and Bharat Takhtani's reception tomorrow at a suburban hotel.
