Kolkata / Varanasi: A week's deadline - that's what Aishwarya Rai's mother, Brinda Rai gave Sharbari Datta, a Kolkata based designer, when she called on the designer to place an exclusive order.

Datta has been designated to design four kurtas and a dhoti for Abhishek Bachchan for the pre-wedding functions.

“I asked for the measurements and she said her demand is 6ft 3inches. I don't have anything in that measurement, so I will have to design the whole line. They know its on a short notice and she apologized. She's very sweet,” Dutta says.

Referring to Aishwarya, the designer said, “She called me up and said she'd use them sparingly.”

However, that's not all. Aishwarya Rai's pre-wedding wear will also include 21 sarees from a saree store in Varanasi.

The bill for 14 sarees was Rs 1,52,000, and the shopkeeper insists there is more to come.

“There will be more sarees for the wedding. These are just for the functions before the d-day,” he said.

With January 22 as the deadline for Datta, and some shopping already done, there is little doubt that the grand Bahchcan-Rai wedding is right around the corner.
