the sexy anoushka shankar who got married in london to filmmaker joe wright and is expecting his babywhats it about filmmaker joe wright that made you feel that he should be the father of your first baby not just my first i want him to be the father of all my babies its such a clich but honestly i could see myself having children with him within the first week of our relationship joe is the most wonderful and extraordinary man he makes me feel cherished and safe and its easy to see what a loving imaginative father he will beyou have livedin with joe for some months was there any particular compulsion for you to tie the knot now even though we moved in together ages ago i always wanted to get married im glad we lived together first as it gave us a good taste of the realities of our relationship i dont think its essential for everyone but to me there is something sacred about taking vows and promising to love and honour each other postmarriage will you take your husbands surname just the way your mother has done when she married pandit ravi shankar or does the surname issue not bother you at allweve certainly enjoyed using the phrase mrs wright between ourselves since the wedding but i would probably not change my name officially was there any person you really wanted to attend your wedding but who never could we planned very quickly so yes many family members and friends couldnt be there which is why we will do celebrations later in the states and in india but we chose a date for which our parents and siblings could be present which was very difficult with all the touring performers in our combined families norah was obviously there and hosted my mehendi party and was my maidofhonour in a sense she was a wonderfully supportive and loving sister through the whole process how does joe as your partner inspire you in your career now does he keep a tab so that you dont tax yourself too much with your concertstoursalbum work since you are pregnant now hes an incredibly driven artiste himself and one that i admire greatly so yes he does inspire me he has an incredible musical ear and does offer really valuable advice on my work so i take his counsel seriously as well now that im pregnant he does look out for me a lot more and constantly remind me to rest and relax which im not very good atjoe wright was supposed to make a film titled indian summer is there any update on that movie now especially with his strong india connection nowwe would both love if the film got made but there are no plans to get it rolling again at present that i know of however were both grateful it was even being looked at because we wouldnt have met if he hadnt come to india for
