Tennis star Roger Federer got the shock of his life upon his arrival at the Hilton Toronto hotel.

The sports person has come to Toronto to take part in the Rogers Cup.

He as usual went to the star hotel and asked for the suite room which is called as the Federer suite as an honour for his talent and sporting achievements.

And guess what reply this world celebrated player got from the hotel staff.

They requested him opt for some other suite as the opulent space named after him had been given to a celebrity couple from India.

Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwrya Rai were staying in Federer suite.

They had come to Toronto for the first show of the ‘Unforgettable World Tour.

The hotel authorities were not very keen on giving the suite to Abhi and Ash as it was reserved exclusively for Roger Federer and till date he has only stayed there whenever he came to Toronto.

Rumours are that the stay of the gorgeous Aishwarya Rai Bachchan with her husband Abhishek Bachchan throughout the shooting for the last schedule of Drona at Bikaner has more to it than meets the eye.

Buzz is Ash’s presence was more like she was there to guard her husband. She always reached the sets along with Abhishek, stayed there and left with him.

The reason for that allege gossipmongers is Ash does not appear to be too fond of Priyanka Chopra , who stars opposite Abhishek in ‘Drona’ and probability is that it flows from the fact that the two were linked during the making of Bluffmaster as the two had reportedly become very cozy.

Rumours continue that while at the sets, Ash tends to completely ignore Priyanka even while she exchanges pleasantries with the rest of the crew and apparently, Abhishek too tries keeping a guard when his wife is around.

Post his fight with Shah Rukh Khan, Sallu has been at his social best, trying to gather as many ‘friends’ on his side as possible, particularly all those who don’t get along with SRK.

Earlier this week, he had spoken out about his fondness for the Bachchans, and was all praise for Abhishek, even calling him a buddy. This had come as a big surprise because the relations between Abhi and Salman had been understandably strained following Aishwarya Rai’s marriage to Abhishek.

Now, Salman has followed his words with some action.

While shooting for “Veer” at Mehboob Studios recently, Sallu went across to meet Abhi, who was also at the studios. The two reportedly spent 30 minutes in Abhishek’s vanity van, and came out looking quite pleased.

After escorting Sallu back to his sets, Abhi returned to his vanity van.

The Bachchans’ Unforgettable Tour has had a good response in some of the cities that it has gone to, but at the same time the high price of tickets have caused a problem at other venues.

The not-so-good-news for Bachchan fans is that stage shows have been cancelled in two European cities – Rotterdam in Holland and Oberhausen in Germany. Earlier, the show had also been cancelled in Vancouver, Canada.

Wiz Sabbas Joseph, Wizcraft director, writes on his blog: “This decision comes after every possible attempt was made by us to try and find a solution. The local promoters defaulted making it impossible to progress forward. We are truly saddened for those fans who purchased tickets in Rotterdam and Oberhausen in anticipation of experiencing this extravaganza. We are certain that we will be touring the European region and we will come back to embrace more cities soon.”

Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan, who is tracking the globe for his international concert the Unforgettable, has developed a severe cold and fever. The versatile actor, who is in Los Angeles right now, informed ardent fans on his blog www.bigb.bigadda.com that he was not keeping well: “I have developed a fever and an inflamed chest.”

The Bachchans’ much-awaited Unforgettable opened in Toronto July 18 and travelled to Trinidad and in both the places it got an overwhelming response.

Amitabh has teamed up with his son Abhishek and daughter-in-law Aishwarya Rai for this tour. Preity Zinta, Riteish Deshmukh, composer duo Vishal-Shekhar and choreographer Shiamak Davar are also part of the troupe.

Going under the weather has invited a lot of attention from his close associates and family. However, Amitabh didn’t mention on his blog whether he will perform Saturday or not.

BOLLYWOOD’s star couple Abhishek and AishwaryaBollywood star Madhuri Dixit recieves the ‘Padma Shri’, one of India’s top National Awards, by the Indian President Pratibha Patil at the Presidential Palace in New Delhi Saturday, May 10, 2008. Rai Bachchan have purchased a house in Dubai, becoming the latest celebrities from India’s tinsel town to acquire property in the gulf island.

Having bought a place in Sanctuary Falls — a 96-villa double-gated community home — the actors also attended a “Residents Party” for owners in Jumeirah Golf Estates’s this week, a gulf daily reported.

While no details were divulged on the couple’s new home, it is expected to be ready in the first quarter of 2010, Gulf News said.

Abhishek Bachchan has fulfilled his 5-year old promise to take Ash on a world tour with his ‘Unforgettable show’ but also made a new one at a press conference after their show in Trinidad.

Well, the story goes that after a splendid audience response to their show at the Caribbean Islands the duo and pa Amitabh Bachchan held a press conference along with stars like Preity and Riteish.

And just like paparazzi across the globe, those at Trinidad looked too curious as well. But what stumped everyone was a candid and unusual question from a certain gentleman that made Ash blush. He asked her if Abhishek had promised her a baby.

Before Ash could reply or dodge the question, the protective pa Amitabh, who was sitting alongside, gave a prompt reply: “Every husband promises his wife a baby.”

Abhishek Bachchan has tremendous respect for his wife Aishwarya Rai Bachchan as an actress. And what’s the one thing he’s learnt from her?

“Her wonderful attitude,” says Abhishek, and goes on to explain that Aishwarya considers even her regional films as important as her Hollywood films. “She’s done films in Tamil, Telugu, Bengali, and English. We’re all, as actors, a large community of entertainers.

If we get inspired by a story, we love to work in other languages as well,” he says. And what about Hollywood? “I don’t know why we make this huge thing about Hollywood,” he adds, “Yes we have tremendous respect for it, they make wonderful films, but we have large respect for our films too, and that includes our regional films.” Hmmm, so like wife, will we see Abhishek doing a regional film too?

“Encore…Encore!” were the shouts from the crowd when Bollywood stars stood together to take a bow at the end of the first concert of ‘The Unforgettables’ tour in Toronto.

Such was the euphoria of the audience at the Roger Centre on Friday night. It was an evening filled with song, dance and dialogues by top Bollywood stars including Amitabh Bachchan , Abhishek Bachchan , Aishwarya Rai , Akshay Kumar , Preity Zinta and Ritesh Deshmukh .

Big B, the senior-most in the troupe, was also the most versatile on stage. Not only did he perform to his popular songs from ‘Yaarana’, Don (1978) and Silsila , he also regaled the crowd by reciting famous dialogues from his several movies.

Abhishek and Aishwarya jammed up with senior Bachchan on ‘Kajra Re’. Ash, Abhi and Preity also paid a tribute to Big B by performing to a medley of his songs.
