Belying 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 paucity of time.

'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 said, 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.'

Though the two families would like it to be an intimate affair, fans and celebrity watchers are expecting a large wedding.

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

It was a very moving moment for Amitabh when he went up on stage at the Filmfare Awards to give his wife the Lifetime Achievements Trophy.

'I didn't know I had to give a speech. So, whatever I said came from the heart. I needed to recollect a lifetime with Jaya to give her the trophy for Lifetime Achievements.

View Stars at N D Studio'That evening brought out a lot of emotions. My daughter Shweta, who's a tough girl, was moved to tears. Aishwarya was crying. For Jaya to acknowledge us as well as Aishwarya's family was wonderful. The day Abhishek announced Aishwarya was the girl he was going to marry, she became a part of our family. I look on Aishwarya as a daughter.'
