My brother did no such thing! He probably went on a personal visit. There was a report in the electronic media that my brother had taken their horoscopes to Bangalore, to show them to an astrologer, who confirmed it. What is really disheartening is that you are not willing to believe the principals, but instead some astrologer who I don't know anything about. I haven't seen her horoscope, neither has any family member.

There were reports of her being a manglik...

It is ridiculous, we don't believe in this! If two people consent, are in love with each other and want to marry, that's it. We are happy with it. We have never looked at horoscopes. I don't even know how to spell the word manglik! I don't even know what she is. How much can you take? What do you do?

Is Ash married to a tree?

Ash is not married to a tree! The cure for a manglik is that she has to marry a tree. It's a challenge -- please show me the tree she married! Bring that person who married her to the tree. Where did it happen? Aishwarya Rai getting married to a tree: do you think the media wouldn't have known about it and gone to the place?

She went to Benares with your family and prayed there...

It was November 23, my father's birthday. Every year, on that day, for the last four years, we celebrate my father's birthday with a Kavi Sammelan in Lucknow. Last year, when we decided to go, my mother was in hospital. I said we haven't had any celebration like Holi and Diwali as my mother is ill in hospital.

I am saddened that people brushed aside that aspect and did not bother about it. We decided we can't have the poetry symposium as Ma is in hospital. Jaya said it would be nice if the family came and prayed at the Sankatmochan temple in Benares so we went together.
