Incidentally, Amitabh Bachchan announced the 'private act' in a public place, a day before embarking on it, for the press and his fans to take note of.

"And you move along, oblivious of all else; blinded in the eye by the lights and flashes of the media that follows the entire 4 hour walk and blind to the stories that they would make of this private act."
'Pa,' as Aishwarya Rai refers to him these days, which is a sensible climb down from her earlier, more hilarious, reference to him as 'Father of the family,' can't get over the media, as much as the media cannot get over him.

We are not here to ascribe motives to 'private acts.' The Bachchans were not doing it for the success of Sarkar Raj for sure, as the Mumbai tabloids are suggesting. Because if they were, considering how great a blasphemy Ram Gopal Varma's earlier film Aag was, the Bachchan's should have made Ramu crawl to the temple alongside them for just appeasement.
All we want to write about is all that we care about - Aishwarya - who was looking insanely hot!
Dressed in a white lace , she looked beautiful and fragile walking barefoot. Going by how tightly she clasped Abhishek Bachchan's hands, an earthquake measuring 9.0 on the Richter scale must have been forecast for Mumbai that morning, although no one else was aware of it.
