Indore, Apr 19 (UNI) A Central Excise official posted here has managed to trap Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan in a bottle even before the Bollywood actors tie the knot.

Mr Rajesh Swami has painted the couple within the bottle, an effort that took almost a week, and also penned a poem on living legend Amitabh Bachchan and his better half Jaya.

''The paintings constitute my way of congratulating the couple on their wedding,'' Mr Swami said.

The artist has been creating such paintings over 14 years and Amitabh is the subject of eight of his works.

Even at the height of the Kargil conflict, Pakistan's General Pervez Musharraf might never have dreamt of being captured let alone being trapped in a bottle later, like a genie from the Arabian Nights! Mr Swami earlier sketched an image of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh shaking hands with the Pakistan President, on pieces of thermocol and canvas, before using bicycle spokes and thin wood to place them intact within a glass bottle.

''It took me 12 days,'' he had said while appealing to Gen Musharraf to waive the capital punishment awarded to incarcerated Indian national Sarabjit Singh, for the sake of his two daughters.
