Dozens of police guarded the airport where actress Elizabeth Hurley was due to leave the desert city of Jodhpur on Saturday after a brief battle between reporters and security guards overshadowed her Hindu wedding.
Hurley, 41, married Indian businessman Arun Nayar, 42, on Friday in a lavish ceremony where the groom trotted down the aisle on a horse, wrapping up a week of celebrations in India after their civil wedding last week at a castle in England. Scuffles broke out on Friday night after the wedding ceremony when one woman reporter claimed she had been hit by a guard and some 50 journalists tried to storm the Meherangarh Fort where wedding guests were settling down for a traditional meal.
Tensions between journalists and wedding organisers had been high during the week after journalists were banned from having access to the ceremonies in the desert state of Rajasthan.
