ASH-ABHI DHOOM : CHAL MERI CHANDANI

She was gorgeous. Dressed in silver finery specially ordered from Jaipur, Chandni did what she was meant to — deliver a resplendent Abhishek to his fiancé, Aishwarya.

The mare had three handlers — one had to hold the umbrella, the other had to make her wear the silver jewellery, while a third walked by her side.

The Bachchans chose Chandni, as she has been used in many weddings, real and reel.After all, she belongs to action master Tinu Verma, a friend of the Bachchans. The mare was transported from her farmhouse in Filmcity, Goregaon at Amitabh’s request.

Accompanying her on her journey was Tinu’s brother Jitu who, with the three handlers, reached Jalsa at 2 pm. With Abhishek astride Chandni, the signing, dancing baaratis reached Jalsa from Prateeksha.

Deed done, Chandni had an early pack up and went back home at 7 pm.
