Why did Abhishek Bachchan skip the Royal Gala dinner?

The cream of celebrities from Bollywood, cricket and business world attended the royal gala dinner at the prestigious Taj Hotel in Mumbai last night. Shah Rukh Khan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan welcomed The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Prince William and Kate Middleton at the fundraising event on the first day of their tour in India.

Missing from the scene was the ‘Jazbaa’ actress’ husband actor Abhishek Bachchan. Jr Bachchan was scheduled to attend the royal dinner hosted for the royal couple but was sadly unable to do so as he was bedridden with a slip disc.

Sources said, “The organisers were very keen to have Abhishek Bachchan attend the royal soiree along with Aishwarya Rai. In fact, he was one of the first personalities to be invited for this exclusive dinner. Abhishek was really looking forward to attending dinner with Prince William and Kate Middleton but unfortunately, he will not be able to make it due to his medical condition. He is still suffering from a slip-disc and has been advised bed rest as he’s in a lot of pain.”

Answering a fans query on the subject, Abhishek tweeted ,
