Bachchan family to play host for Oprah Winfrey

11th January 2012

India’s one of the most famous couple Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Abhishek Bachchan made waves in international scenario when they appeared together on world's one of the most famous chat show "The Oprah Winfrey Show".

The couple had always maintained a great rapport with America's leading talk show host and had been in regular touch with her.

Oprah Winfrey who is also known for her philanthropic works, will visit Aishwarya and Abhishek Bachchan's home and meet their newborn baby girl.

Oprah is said to be visiting India to meet spiritual guru Deepak Chopra for her upcoming new show and is also expected to speak at the Jaipur Literary Festival on 21st January and 22nd January.

Oprah is trying to fit in a quick visit to Mumbai amidst all this. She tweeted last week, "Never been to India, it's been on my vision board forever."

Adds a source, "Aishwarya has been a guest on Oprah's show twice and her second time was with Abhishek post their wedding. She has been in touch with Oprah even during her international tours, and the Bachchans are keen to have her home."

They plan to keep it as an low key affair as possible by hosting a very private dinner for Oprah.

Adds the source, "When the couple was on their show in 2009, it was for the first time Abhi-Ash spoke on a public platform about their relationship. So they do share a very warm rapport with Oprah and they want her to be as comfortable as possible."

Sources also suggest that Abhishek might fly down to Jaipur or Delhi to escort Oprah to Mumbai.
