Aishwarya Rai already married before

Atleast, that is what the Public Interest Litigation (PIL) filed by a lawayer Shruti Singh in the Patna High Court says.

Apparently, Ms. Rai was married to a Peepal tree (Ficus religiosa) in Varnasi, with a banyan tree in Bangalore and with the idol of a god in Ayodhya, a practise which is performed before a manglik is married to a non-manglik.

Such marriages of Aishwarya Rai were performed not only in violation of Article 17 of the Constitution — which prohibits untouchability, but also a violation of the fundamental human rights, Shruti said in the PIL. She added that the Bachchan family owed a public apology for subjecting Aishwarya Rai to enter into such false marriages.

I was not aware that such a  stupid practise existed, and what was even more surprising that even the Bachchans (who atleast to me looked like forward thinking people) were smitten by such superstitions.

By any chance, was the idol of god that tied the knot with Ms. Rai the same one that was shedding tears a few days ago?

    In our history, have PIL’s ever had any constructive consequences?

    I guess its an anti-boredom technique used by bored housewives & upholders of hardline ‘hindutva’..

    Just curious!

    Absolutely ! All you got to spend is Rs. 50 to file a PIL and if you are targetting the bollywood stars which the media loves to cover so much oflate, you are bound to be in the news as well. So much for Rs. 50. wow !

    Did she actually pass the personality test in Miss World Contest?
    Or may the judges were bit the superstition too.
