Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai’s wedding was a major event, with fans eager for every detail of their love story. The media coverage was intense, but little information about the ceremony itself was shared. However, in a candid interview with 'Midday' soon after the couple tied the knot, Amitabh Bachchan opened up about the moment Abhishek proposed to Aishwarya.
What Amitabh Bachchan did when Abhishek proposed Aishwarya
Amitabh Bachchan recalled that after the premiere of their film 'Guru' in New York, Abhishek called to tell him the big news—that he had just asked Aishwarya to marry him. Amitabh fondly shared his response to the couple.
“Abhishek and Aishwarya are fond of each other. In New York, after the premiere of 'Guru', Abhishek called me and said that he proposed to her. I said, ‘Come on home.’ I asked Aishwarya if she was happy. She said yes. I picked them up and took her home. I told her, this is your home. Humko kya lena dena hai aur kuch se? (How does anything else matter?)” Amitabh had said.
Aishawarya and Abhishek's dating life
Abhishek and Aishwarya’s love story began as friendship while working together on films like 'Dhai Akshar Prem Ke' (2000) and 'Kuch Naa Kaho' (2003). Romance eventually bloomed during the making of 'Umrao Jaan' in 2005-2006, and they were married on April 20, 2007, in a grand ceremony.
Before this, Aishwarya had been in the spotlight due to her previous relationships with Salman Khan and Vivek Oberoi. The couple later welcomed their daughter, Aaradhya Bachchan, in 2011.
In recent times, Aishwarya has often been seen solo or with her daughter, sparking rumors of a possible divorce between her and Abhishek. However, neither of them has commented on the speculation, and the Bachchan family has not made any official statements regarding the matter.
