ShareWhile it looks, impossible to fish anything out of reclusive couple on their wedding. We requested Semi Girebal to get them talking for us.
Semi: "I heard that you wanted to wed in a hotel but the only one available was The Oberoi. Is that the reason, why everything is done at home? Home weddings are so devastating and filled with paranoia."
Abhishek (looking pensive): "No aunty, that was too dangerous, because The Oberoi is just too in your face and over the top. All they ever wanted to serve was sour grapes for dessert." (Ash giggles). (Semi shrieks in approval).
Semi: "I have been extremely worried about the food in your wedding; I usually always take my chef along wherever I go. I hope you don't offer those middle class sweets like the ladoo or the jalebi.....ufffff...ahhhh. Offerings like these are really very fattening and as you know I am extremely allergic to anything middle class. I prefer Tiramisu, crème roulette or flambeau."
Abhishek (bouncy): "Semi aunty, No! I think that's too dangerous. Flambeau is heated before serving, it involves fire and flame, and the whole pandal could catch fire. And aunty, we were going to have rasgullas at the wedding but now Preity Zinta will not be attending."
Semi: I am extremely skeptical about coming to the wedding because I always take my security along. I once went to the rock-a-fellers party in London and the chef tried to strangle me with a lettuce leaf because I insulted him. Therefore I do not go anywhere without my security. Just to inform you, the ladies personnel of my security team will be equipped with guns. (Semi quivers her lower lip.)
Abhishkek: It might be too dangerous, but let me ask pa. (Ash giggles)
Semi:Now listen this has really been haunting me. I heard the press has been given a little podium on the road. I can't believe that is happening because then, how will they get a good close up of mine. Do you mind if I just went across the road. I hate long shots. But I love the papparazi...
Ash: Aunty, when you come from town, instead of coming via juhu chowpatty, you can come via SV road and then take a left and then instead of taking a u turn you can get off exactly at the media platform, get your pictures clicked and there after come home.
Abhishek: Wow! sweetheart that's a fabulous solution; you are not only a beauty queen but also a traffic cop (Ash giggles)
Semi: (bursts out crying): Isn't she a daisy!
Abhishek: No, daisy is someone else (Ash giggles)
Semi (suddenly screams out): But wait, that way I will be walking away and they'll capture my back, you fool. That's extremely unacceptable. It's a stupid idea.
Abhishek: But aunty, that just may be your best profile.(Ash giggles) (Semi giggles.)
(Abhi laughs and scratches his beard) (Ash giggles)
Semi: Before you both leave, my darlings, I want to wish you best of luck in life.....
Semi (comes close to Abhishek's ear and whispers) Abhi, all the cameras are off and I am going to ask you a personal question. I want you to imagine that you and I are alone in the studio. You must tell the truth. Who is more gorgerous, me or Aish?
Abhishek (chokes on his vegetable juice) and Semi turns back and says,"That sound was enough I understand" (smiling coyly)
