Mumbai: Hema Malini had invited Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Congress president Sonia Gandhi for her daughter Esha`s wedding with Bharat Takhtani. She says that the two couldn`t come due to security reasons and that the latter has invited the newly wed couple at her residence."We had invited PM and Sonia Gandhi for the wedding. They couldn`t come for security reasons. If it would have been in Delhi, they would have made it. It`s a sweet gesture from Sonia Gandhi that she has sent Esha and Bharat an invite that whenever they are in Delhi, they should go to her place for lunch or dinner," the actress told IANS.
