Bollywood stars wed in Hindu ceremony
MUMBAI (Reuters) - Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai, one of Bollywood’s best-known screen couples, married on Friday in a traditional Hindu wedding in which the groom rode a white horse before the pair took their vows around a sacred fire.
Your editor has committed a blunder. It is mentioned two times in the news that the groom rode a white horse before the pair took their vows around a sacred fire. For your kind information the groom always rides a mare (She Horse) and not a horse (masculine). This tradition is observed by Hindus, Sikhs and Muslims.

A “horse” is a member of the equine family, and as the GBU editor stated, the word covers all horses regardless of sex, color or breed.
