Amitabh Bachchan Asked Aishwarya Rai If She Was 'Happy' After Abhishek Proposed: 'Took Her Home And Told Her...'

Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai’s wedding was the talk of the town, with fans eager to know the details of their love story. The media scrutiny, too, was intense. But very little of the wedding got out. However, in a candid interview with Midday shortly after Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai got married, Amitabh Bachchan opened up about the moment Abhishek proposed to Aishwarya. He revealed that after the premiere of their film Guru in New York, Abhishek called him to share the big news that he had just popped the question to Aishwarya Rai. Amitabh Bachchan fondly recalled what he told his son and future daughter-in-law at that moment.

“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.

Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai’s love story began as friends while working together on films like Dhai Akshar Prem Ke (2000) and Kuch Naa Kaho (2003). However, romance blossomed during the filming of Umrao Jaan in 2005-2006. They got married on April 20, 2007, in a grand ceremony.

Before this, Aishwarya had been in the spotlight for her past relationships with Salman Khan and Vivek Oberoi. Abhishek and Aishwarya later welcomed their daughter Aaradhya Bachchan in 2011.

However, for a while now, Aishwarya Rai has been spotted solo or with her daughter. This has led to rumours that a Aishwarya Rai Abhishek Bachchan divorce might be on the horizon. Neither Aishwarya, nor Abhishek have commented on it. The Bachchan family has also not made any official comments on the matter as yet.
