Big B gifts Rs 1.7- crore Bentley car to Abhishek

Abhishek Bachchan may have been greeted only with a bouquet by his fiancée Aishwarya Rai Marriage on his 31st birthday, but his father Amitabh Bachchan surprised him with a Rs 1.7-crore white Bentley car as a gift.

Aishwarya, who was unable to go to Bikaner to usher in the birthday, was present at the Chhatrapati Shivaji airport to greet him on his arrival in the city.

Abhishek later went for a drive in the new car with his ladylove and soon after drove back to the Bachchan residence in suburban Juhu.

Aishwarya's gift, if any besides the bouquet, remains a guarded secret.

"Her gift to Abhishek Bachchan is too personal and confidential," Aiswarya Rai's secretary Hari Singh said.

Earlier, Amitabh Bachchan along with Samajwadi Party leader Amar Singh flew to Junagarh Fort in Rajasthan where Abhishek Bachchan was shooting his forthcoming film Drona, to cut the birthday cake at midnight.

Jaya Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai Wallpaper could not join them there but were able to meet Abhishek Bachchan as he returned to the city by evening.

When asked about why Aiswarya Rai did not join Abhishek Bachchan Photo at Junagarh on the 'D' day, Singh refused to comment saying it was a personal matter.
