Mumbai: After months of speculation the cat is finally out of the bag. Actors Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan got engaged on Sunday evening.

Abhishek's father and superstar Amitabh Bachchan has confirmed the news to CNN-IBN.

Sources have told CNN-IBN that the couple is expected to tie the knot shortly.

The engagement, which took place at Aishwarya's residence in Mumbai, was a closely guarded affair.

Rumor mills were abuzz all through the year regarding their affair first and then about their wedding.

In November last year Aishwarya – accompanied by the Bachchans – emerged from the Sankat Mochan temple sending the media, which had been camping overnight, aflutter.

Soon after the temple visit, speculation was rife that Abhishek and Aishwarya had got married much earlier at the Meenakshi temple in Madurai.

But now it seems all speculation can be put to rest and Bollywood can gear up for the big wedding in the film industry’s first family.
