Ever wondered which celebrity is most likely to tie the knot in 2011? Well, that question has just been answered. Mumbai feels that Bollywood actor Esha Deol and politician Rahul Gandhi are best suited to get married this year.
This was revealed by a survey conducted by shaadi.com, a matrimonial website. Incidentally, the duo beat really tough competition by fellow singletons like Vijender Singh, Kunal Kapoor, Sushmita Sen and even Mallika Sherawat.
Amongst the celebrity couples, Mumbaikars have their hopes pinned on Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor taking the plunge this year. So what if Kapoor declared on national television that D-day is in 2012? One can always hope, right? Other couples in the list included Mahesh Bhupathi-Lara Dutta and John Abraham-Bipasha Basu. Bad news for Chhote Nawab’s little sister though. Soha Ali Khan-Kunal Khemu were voted the least likely to get married.
And proving that we are, in fact world conscious, the wedding the city is looking forward to the most this year, is that of Britain’s Prince William and Kate Middleton’s. In fact, even a Brad Pitt-Angelina Jolie wedding (if it happens) was more favoured than the Imran Khan and Avantika Malik shaadi that is happening this weekend.
Reminiscing about the weddings that took place in 2010, Mumbaikars voted Indian cricket captain MS Dhoni’s quiet ceremony with Sakshi Singh Rawat as the best celebrity event.
And finally, when asked whether Mumbaikars think that 2011, is in general, a good year for people to get married, nearly 80 per cent agree, while 95.92 per cent think that they will meet the partner of their dreams in 2011. Happy weddings!

Aishwarya Rai still endorses L'Oreal
Officials of cosmetic firm L'Oreal Paris have denied reports that Bollywood actress Aishwarya Rai has been replaced by Frieda Pinto as the new brand ambassador.
Reports of Frieda replacing Aishwarya came up after the "Slumdog Millionaire" star featured in L'Oreal's 'Happy New Year' television commercial.
"We are shocked and surprised to read in some sections of the media/press about Ms. Aishwarya Rai Bachchan being replaced as the face of L'Oreal Paris," said an official statement from the firm.
"L'Oreal Paris strongly reiterates that this is absolutely untrue and that Ms. Aishwarya Rai Bachchan continues to be our valued spokesperson, as she has since 2000. While she remains an integral part of the L'Oreal Paris world wide Dream Team, she was unfortunately unavailable for our New Year commercial shoot due to prior commitments.
"She is one of the most iconic women of our times and is certainly the face of L'Oreal Paris internationally and in India for a range of products which include campaigns for Total Repair 5, Excellence Crème, Color Riche, Hydrafresh," the statement added.

Imran, Avantika tie the knot, to honeymoon in Thailand!
Bollywood's chocolate boy Imran Khan finally bid adieu to bachelorhood and married long time girlfriend Avantika Malik here Monday. He said he is very happy.
The couple is off to Thailand Tuesday for their honeymoon but not alone - 50 guests will be accompanying the newly-weds.
Imran, who had been dating Avantika for the past eight years, had a registered marriage at his superstar uncle Aamir Khan's house in Pali Hill.
After the wedding, Imran came to his house with his newlywed wife in a black Porsche decorated with white flags with "Just Married" written on them. The house was decorated with flowers and lights
Both wore beautiful traditional wedding costumes - Avantika was wearing a light grey lehenga choli with a red border and gold work and Imran was dressed in a black bandhgala.
"I'm not feeling married right now, it will take some time to sink in. I'm very happy" Imran told reporters after reaching home.
Asked how he felt after breaking the hearts of his female fans, the 27-year-old said: "I've been in a relationship for the past eight years so the point of breaking hearts doesn't arise. Everyone always knew that I'm dating and was never single, so getting married is nothing new."
Imran's maternal uncle, Aamir was dressed in black sherwani with self-print and a maroon churidar and his wife Kiran Rao went traditional too, donning a purple-gold lehenga choli.
"We are very happy for both of them and all our blessing are with them. I hope they have a happy married life and have lots of kids," said a visibly elated Aamir.
The actor will be hosting a grand reception once the couple returns from their honeymoon. The date has not been fixed, but it is scheduled for the end of this month.
After the wedding, the couple hosted a quiet dinner for close family and friends at Taj Lands End Hotel.

Kareena loses weight again!
Kareena Kapoor's weight fluctuates like the sensex! One day you can count all the bones on her body and the next she glows with all the right weight on her. Yet again after putting on weight for Golmaal 3, she's back to her skinny self for an item number in Ra.One.
Famous dietician Rujuta Divekar had chalked out three different diet plans for Kareena.
Rujuta told Mid-Day, "For the shoot of Ra.One's Chammak Challo, she had to fit in to this sexy white dress. To attain that perfect figure, we had a Mumbai diet charted out on her return to the city, one for her stay in Las Vegas another for her 24-hour flight from Mumbai to Las Vegas via London and then back again to Mumbai after the shoot ended. She lost five kilos for the Ra.One song but still ended up looking fit and fabulous."
The dietician, who has previously planned diets for Kareena, said that it was very difficult to plan this one. "We had two diets in place one for 10 days and one for the nights. It was very tough to find the right food in Vegas as they were shooting outside."
Incidentally, during the shoot of Ra.One, Kareena had to eat several pan cakes topped with maple syrup. That got Rujuta extremely worried but Kareena managed to stick to the diet perfectly.
During the shoot of the song, Kareena ate makhaanas (lotus seeds) to sustain energy and necessary nutrients.
