It’s quite logical, really. To have the year’s biggest wedding—and we don’t wish to state which one—would be held in Mumbai rather than Saif Ali Khan’s native plave Pataudi, as planned earlier.
It was the daddy of the bride Randhir Kapoor who approached the mum of the bridegroom Sharmila Tagore requesting that the venue be shifted from the Pataudi’s ancestral place to amchi Mumbai.
Says a source, “Sharmilaji was keen for the marriage to be held in Pataudi. That’s where her husband Nawab Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi would have wanted the marriage to be.
And because the whole family, including Kareena, goes by what Sharmilaji desires for the marriage the venue was decided. But then Kareena’s parents had a legitimate objection the marriage being held in Pataudi. Most in their friends and family were in Mumbai.
Beside Randhir’s mother Mrs Krishna Raj Kapoor is unable to travel. So Randhir Kapoor requested Sharmilaji for a shift on Mumbai. ”
Now a large fat Punjabi-Bengali-Muslim wedding is being chalked out in Mumbai for October 16.
Yes, that is still the date for the wedding, as confirmed by Sharmila Tagore. So one wonders why Kareena and Saif are protesting about ‘D’ day, going to extent of denying the date confirmed by Sharmila Tagore!
Says a source on the subject of the family, “It’s the worry that the minute Kareena’s wedding date is announced the producers would baulk at signing her. Kareena will first sign a slew of plum assignments to start out post the wedding before the date is announced. ”
Confirming these developments Sharmila said tersely, “As far as I DO KNOW it (the marriage) remains to be on 16 October. ”
Regarding rumours that the marriage could be held in London, the outspoken mother retorts, “Why London? Daboo (Randhir Kapoor) wants it to be in Mumbai. So the venue is almost definitely Mumbai. ”
