Hrithik weds Suzanne

By Our Staff Reporter

BANGALORE, DEC. 20. The much-talked about wedding of Bollywood superstar Hrithik Roshan with Suzanne Khan took place here on Wednesday at the Golden Palms Resort and Spa owned by the bride's father, Mr. Sanjay Khan, amidst a cloud of secrecy and tight security.

The marriage, a private ceremony with only a few close relatives and friends on the guest list, was performed with both Hindu and Muslim rites. The marriage would also be registered, Mr. Sanjay Khan told presspersons.

The beaming bridegroom, who made a brief appearance before the media, said his fans were his well-wishers and would give him all their blessings on this occasion. ``They wish me luck,'' he said. Asked about thousands of his female fans who would be heartbroken, Hrithik laughed: ``There will not be any heart- breaking.''

Flanked by his father, Mr. Rakesh Roshan and Mr. Sanjay Khan, Hrithik said he would be wearing a gold and white Jodhpuri suit for the wedding and that the couple would be flying to Europe for honeymoon. Asked whether he was nervous, the Bollywood heartthrob smiled and asked: ``Should I be?''

``The marriage is going to be a very private affair,'' said Mr. Sanjay Khan. Relatives from the two film families and a few friends from the industry, including Ms. Dimple Kapadia and members of the Kapoor family, would attend the function. ``We wanted the wedding to be low-profile,'' he said.

He and Mr. Rakesh Roshan would hold a reception in Mumbai next month, he said. Asked why Bangalore was chosen for the wedding, he said it was for security reasons and the family wanted to keep the whole affair low-key and holiday at the resort at the same time.
