Ganked from Beth Loves Bollywood:
mollpeartree, is this true??? I don't want to be up all night again too!
After I proved that I totally rock the vowel matras, yesterday my Hindi tutor and I had a discussion about - what else - filmy stars. She told me there are news stories going around that Mr. Bachchan strongly encouraged Aishwarya to marry a tree in order to level out some of the bad news in her horoscope.(Oooh, snap!)
This kept me up at night. Honestly.
I have no idea how to express how absolutely ridiculous and insulting I think this is (and illegal, according to some reports) without being disrespectful to a belief system I know very little about and do not share. So instead I'll say this: if Aishwarya had wanted a tall wooden husband, she would have married Arjun Rampal.

One quick Google search is as far as I'm willing to go with that, btw. In general I try to know as little as possible about the personal lives of my favorite Bollywood stars because their sins tend to be as crazy and over the top as their production numbers. For example did you know that Saif Ali Khan enjoyed torturing and mutilating small animals as an adolescent? I wish I didn't. (The student of true crime will recognize this as precursor behavior to serial murder. No wonder he was so good at "playing" Iago.)
Good one on Arjun Rampal, btw; I laughed and laughed when
