Karisma Kapoor finally got married yesterday, at RK Cottage in Bombay...in what seemed more like a Bollywood circus rather than a traditional ceremony. Surrounded by a "very small gathering" of only a 1000 people (??!!??), the bride was, it has to be said, quite resplendent in her pink lehenga. Except that it would have suited the occasion more if she had not spent more than three-quarters of the time waving to the cameras!

To the credit of both families, the reason behind the Abhishek Bachchan-Karisma Kapoor breakup has never been revealed. In a departure from Bollywood norms, both sides have kept absolutely mum about the whole issue...perhaps concepts like dignity and family pride are not yet completely extinct in the film industry!

And if the list of celeb attendees for the wedding was pretty impressive, the list of people who made it a point to stay away was no less weighty...Shahrukh Khan, Karan Johar, Ambanis', Amar Singh, Shweta Nanda (nee Bachchan), even the Sahara guys who are producing Karisma Kapoor's famed TV Serial...basically everybody who is close to the Bachchans was a no show!

Grand uncle Shammi Kapoor, meanwhile, is recuperating from a recent illness at Bombay's Breach Candy Hospital, and hence could not attend.
