ELIZABETH HURLEY'S FATHER IN LAW CUTS TIES WITH WEDDING COUPLE !

The Indian father-in-law of British actress Elizabeth Hurley said he has cut ties with his son, Arun Nayar, amid anger over their lavish wedding. Vinod Nayar told the Sunday Mirror he and his wife Joanne felt "publicly humiliated" and treated "like social outcasts" at the event, which took place in Britain and India last month. "Liz and Arun have treated us very shabbily. My heart is heavy with pain," the newspaper quoted him as saying. Nayar senior, a textile magnate, claims that the couple seemed to disrespect Indian relatives and did not act with consideration towards him and his wife. "We were pushed into the background like poor relations. This has broken my heart," Nayar, 66, continued. "I have decided to cut all ties with my sons ... I feel that Liz and Arun behaved shamefully and placed more importance on showing off than their own family," Nayar senior added. He said that he had not spoken to his son since the wedding and had sent him a letter accusing him of having "disregarded me like one of your office boys."
The letter reportedly went on to say: "You have shown disrespect to me and my family, plus my dear friends who have been with me since your birth.'
