Father Disowns Son And Hurley

Liz Hurley has been accused of treating her new husband's relatives badly at their Indian wedding ceremony, reports the Sunday Mirror.

Groom Arun Nayer's father Vinod has disowned the couple. Vinod has told Arun to leave the apartment and offices that he provides for his son in Mumbai.

Vinod has claimed that Arun banned him from the wedding platform during the ceremony, ignoring the Indian tradition of the groom's father welcoming the bride.

Liz and Arun are also accused of ignoring Arun's family in favour of European guests at the wedding, while Liz also refused to accept a £35,000 necklace purchased by Vinod and his wife.

Vinod said, "My wife Joanne and I feel we were publicly humiliated and treated like social outcasts for the sake of a Hello! magazine deal, Liz and Arun have treated us very shabbily. My heart is heavy with pain."

"I knew she was very ambitious, but I never realised just how important fame and attention is to her. We were pushed into the background like poor relations. This has broken my heart."

"I felt like an unwanted guest. The whole thing was like an elaborate media event. It was like a stage show, not like a normal wedding at all. My cousins had to watch it on a screen outside."
