Two of India's biggest cinema stars, Abhishek Bachchan and former Miss World Aishwarya Rai , are finally engaged after months of feverish speculation about their relationship, their families said on Monday.

The hush-hush romance of Rai and Bachchan, the son of legendary actor Amitabh Bachchan, had transfixed the Mumbai-based Hindi film industry, despite denials by the couple of sharing anything more than a healthy friendship.

"No date for marriage has been fixed yet," the senior Bachchan told reporters, adding that his son had proposed to Rai in New York last week after the world premiere of their latest film entitled "Guru." The senior Bachchan said the two families will sit down and decide on the marriage date.
