Liz Hurley has been accused of treating her new husband's relatives like second class citizens at their Indian wedding ceremony.
Groom Arun Nayer's father Vinod has now disowned the newlyweds, claiming that they showed disrespect to his family on their big day. Vinod has instructed 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.
The couple 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 specially by Vinod and his wife.
"My wife Joanne and I feel we were publicly humiliated and treated like social outcasts for the sake of a Hello! magazine deal," Vinod told the Sunday Mirror. "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."
He added: "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."
