Abhishek-Aish horoscopes match perfectly!

Their horoscopes match and a wedding could be on the cards says a Hindu priest in southern India, sparking media reports that beauty queen Aishwarya Rai and top Bollywood star Abhishek Bachchan could soon tie the knot.

Hindu priest and astrologer Chandrashekar Swami said he had examined the horoscopes of both stars and they "matched perfectly," the Times of India newspaper said.

The Rai-Bachchan wedding buzz began when a television channel reported last week that Abhishek's uncle, Ajitabh, had met Swami to seek his views about a Aishwarya-Abhishek match.

Traditional Hindus get their horoscopes matched by astrologers before getting married.

"Their horoscopes match. The wedding will take place," Swami said on Eenadu TV, a private television channel.

The two stars and their families are keeping mum and have refused to comment on the newspaper reports. Both Rai and Abhishek have a number of movies on hand, the Hindustan Times newspaper said.

Both Rai and Bachchan were unavailable Sunday, but Rai's agent refused to comment about the newspaper stories predicting marriage between the two.

Aishwarya and Abhishek have just completed filming Umrao Jaan, a period piece based on a courtesan's search for love. The two are also heading off to Brazil to shoot Dhoom II, a sequel to their earlier film.
