SoggyCornflakes - Bollywood

Hi all, feeling a bit sick today, hence the late updates. Not a nice way to start the holiday when you feel like throwing up half the time but oh well, better to feel sick at home than be sick on campus.

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie recently bought a house for a mere $75 million, so it makes sense that the Brangelina of Bollywood should also buy a house. Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya RAi have recently invested in a villa in Dubai.

It's not to live in though and the smart couple have decided that this was a good time to invest in Dubai (you know, before the Americans invaded ;-)) and have bought the resort type villa for an undisclosed amount. All we know is that's it's somewhere in the range of AED 15 million to AED 35 million. Hmm, not too shabby and they'll have Shah Rukh Khan as a nieghbour...maybe.

Abhishek says,

"Dubai is special to us not just as a place where we enjoy great warmth and generosity in terms of love from the people, but it's become a remarkable place and one that is so close to home for us,"

Some people have suggested that the house was bought so Ash could hide away from the world while she's pregnant but she dismisses these rumours,

"I am sitting here in front of you. So, it is not true that we have got a bungalow in Dubai to hide (pregnancy) from the media,"

I don't know if Abhishek was in a bad mood that day or he was just being flip with the media and added to Ash's comments,

"We are not expecting a baby. In case we do, we will let you know. We will not rob you of that moment,"

Yeah, like journalists have nothing better to do than wait for them to announce a pregnancy. Puh-leez, I have a life, I have family and friends, I have things to do...I'm sure that's a baby-bump I see on Ash however.
