What: Bachchan Family with Mayor of London and Mylenne Klass
Where: Taj Mahal Palace & Tower in Mumbai
When: November 22, 2007

London and Mumbai - a creative celebration was hosted by Ken Livingstone, the Mayor of London who is at the end of his week long tour of India to deepen London-India relationships.

The event also honored Amitabh Bachchan with ‘The Visit London Special Award for Outstanding Achievement sponsored by Virgin Atlantic’ for being one of the most influential Bollywood actor of the last 30 years. A special prelude to the annual Visit London Awards 2007 sponsored by Eurostar will be held in London on 29 November.

Leading artists from London and India including UK classical artist Myleene Klass and the singing star Sonu Nigam wowed everyone with their performances.

There is much speculation going on as to whether or not Aishwarya and Abhishek Bachchan are expecting a little addition to their family. Many of the holy shrines have seen the newly married couple along with Jaya Bachchan offering a chadar and conducting special prayers, presumably seeking blessings for the mother and child.

The famous Amin Pir Dargah (which is dedicated to Sufi Saint Pir Amin) in Andhra Pradesh’s Cuddapah district was one of the many shrines on the list that have been visited so far. The family was also accompanied by Samajwadi Party General Secretary Amar Singh, according to dargah officials said.
