Hyderabad (PTI): Bollywood star couple Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai offered prayers at a dargah in Kadapa town of Andhra Pradesh on Thursday morning. They were accompanied by actor Jaya Bachchan and family friend and Samajwadi Party leader Amar Singh, who also visited and prayed at the Ameen Peer Dargah - also known as 'Pedda Dargah' - in Kadapa, about 400 km. from here. They reached the town in a helicopter from Bangalore at around 0900 hours, police said. Abhishek and Aishwarya, who got married in April this year, offered a 'chadar' and conducted special prayers at the dargah, which is believed to have been established by a spiritual leader belonging to the clan of Prophet Mohammad. A large number of Bachchan fans and curious onlookers gathered at the dargah to have a glimpse of the star couple. Amar Singh's family and the Bachchans later left for Bangalore after spending about three hours at the dargah. The Pedda (big) Dargah is visited by a number of Bollywood personalities and politicians. Music director A R Rahman is a frequent visitor to the dargah. -- regards, Vithur A.R.RAHMAN - THE GOD OF MUSIC
