Mumbai: Contrary to the many overenthusiastic reports of a marriage date for Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai, Amitabh Bachchan says they are as impatient as others but haven't been able to finalise a day due to time issues.

"We still haven't got a date. The two of them are so busy, we haven't been able to sit down and work it out," Amitabh told IANS, denying reports that they were supposed to marry on Feb 19 or March 19.

"Now Abhishek's schedule for Drona is postponed so I'm hoping we'll be able to sit down and work out a date. But Aishwarya is in Karjat shooting and Jaya has gone off to parliament. Everyone is impatient. So are Aishwarya and Abhishek."

While the two families would like an intimate affair, fans and celebrity watchers are hoping for a large wedding.

"Let's see. I think far too much is being made of this affair. It's just another wedding."

On Shah Rukh Khan's comments on his friend and Samajwadi Party leader Amar Singh at the Filmfare Awards, he says, "Those were off-hand comments made in jest. Such comments shouldn't be taken seriously."
