Big B, Abhishek, Ash had a blast at French Open

The newly married Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai, accompanied by Amitabh Bachchan, were seen having the time of their lives at the French Open in Paris.

'We're here because Aishwarya is the Longines ambassador. And they're the official time keeper of Roland Garros 2007,' Amitabh told IANS.

Jaya Bachchan couldn't join them as she stayed back to look after her critically ill mother-in-law.

After watching the match Tuesday, on the next day the trio flew down to Yorkshire to attend the International Indian Film Academy (IIFA) awards.

Back home Amitabh has another release coming up this Friday.

'I've done the voiceover in Ganesh Acharya's directorial debut 'Swami'. He asked me to do it some time ago, and I happily did. Ganesh has been my choreographer in several films. I did it as a friendly gesture,' said the Big B.

'Swami' is the emotional journey of a couple played by Juhi Chawla and Manoj Bajpai. [Via]
