Abhishek and Aishwarya Rai BachchanThe Happy New Year of Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone, Abhishek Bachchan, Boman Irani, Vivaan Shah, Sonu Sood and Farah Khan will spend their Diwali in Dubai this year.

They will attend the grand premiere of their film, to be held on October 23, there.

Abhishek's wife Aishwarya, unfortunately, will not be able to join her husband at the premiere.

"The Dubai premiere clashes with Diwali on October 23," says a source. "Everybody knows Diwali is celebrated with great gusto in the Bachchan household every year. It’s an open house at the Bachchans’ residence Jalsa with the entire entertainment industry dropping in through the day and night. Abhishek cannot be at home for Diwali because he must attend the Dubai premiere of Happy New Year. Aishwarya has decided to opt out of the big moment in her husband’s life so that she can represent the couple at the Diwali celebrations at home."

Aishwarya knows Happy New Year is extremely important to Abhishek.

“But she also knows that Diwali at home is an annual occasion that requires Abhishek’s presence. And she will represent him," says the source.
