Aishwarya Rai Bachchan to skip the Dubai premiere of Happy New Year

7 Oct 2014

This year it will be a Diwali away from home for the entire Happy New Year team-Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone, Abhishek Bachchan, Boman Irani, Vivaan Shah and Farah Khan. They will be attending the Dubai premiere on Diwali night.

It was a choice that she had to make between home and husband, and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan has made up her mind. On October 23 she won't be attending the Dubai premiere of of her husband Abhishek's big film Happy New Year . Explaining the reason why she would choose to absent herself from this big moment from her husband's life, a source says, "The Dubai premiere clashes with Diwali on October 23. Everybody knows Diwali is celebrated with great gusto in the Bachchan household every year. It's an open-house at the Bachchans' residence Jalsa for Diwali each year with the entire entertainment industry dropping in through the evening and night. Abhishek cannot be at home for Diwali because he must attend the Dubai premiere of Happy New Year . Aishwarya has decided to opt out of this big moment from her husband's life so that one of the couple could represent both at the Diwali celebration at Jalsa." Aishwarya knows Happy New Year is extremely important to Abhishek."But she also knows that Diwali at home is an annual occasion that requires Abhishek's presence. She will be representing her husband at Jalsa for Diwali, while he attends the premiere" says the source.
