Andhra Pradesh - Hyderabad

Bollywood stars in a fix

President George Bush and a young bride Sushmita are not connected even remotely but the most powerful man on the globe seems to have robbed some shine of her marriage. The bride in question is the daughter of Telugu film icon Chiranjeevi.

Several film personalities from Bollywood could not make it to the marriage on Thursday night at the Hitex Grounds reportedly due to the non-availability of hotel rooms in the city as all top hotels were booked for the American security personnel, officials and the accompanying media. The entire ITC Kakatiya Sheraton was booked for Mr. Bush while his security personnel took over Fortune Katriya.

Who says only the common man suffers during such visits.
