visited the world famous symbol of love "Taj Mahal" in Agra, according to reports. She reportedly visited the historical monument in Agra, about 200
km from Pataudi where she is currently staying for the shooting of Eat, Pray, Love, last Saturday. Universally admired masterpiece mausoleum of white marble,
Taj Mahal was completed in 1648 after 17 years utilizing about 20,000 laborers

wife Mumtaz Mahal, who died during the birth of her 14th child, it gets about
four million visitors annually and appears in several listings of seven wonders
of the modern world. Roberts also reportedly spent some
time on the weekend with a Bollywood family: Filmfare Award winners Saif Ali Khan

(Rang De Basanti). Tagore is also the chairperson of Central Board of Film Certification
of India, a government regulatory body "responsible for certifying the films produced
in India as well as outside the country suitable for public exhibition". | |
