The media buzz and public craze about the marriage of Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai was unprecedented in history of modern India. Now, I am sure that every high profile Bollywood wedding will get much media attention. Let us see if that happens for Juhi Babbar and  Bijoy Nambiar. The wedding is expected to take place in on June 27. Juhi is the daughter of Raj Babbar a former actor turned politician. So, many big names in Indian politics and Bollywood are expected to turn for the wedding ceremony.

After Abhiash tied the knot a few months ago, wedding bells are set to ring in the house of Raj Babbar. The actor-politician's daughter Juhi, also an actor, will be getting married to long-time boyfriend, film-maker Bijoy Nambiar, on June 27.

Informs a source close to the Babbar family, "The wedding will be a grand affair and will be attended by a number of bigwigs from the political and Bollywood circles." The wedding festivities , says the source, began with a special lunch party hosted by the Nambiar family on June 24 followed by a sangeet ceremony and a mehndi function on June 26.

I have to say that the wedding has not been able to create any significant media buzz in India. Juhi Babbar is not a leading actress in Bollywood. She has acted in some movies and has earned some fame but that is nothing to what Aishwarya Rai has got.
