Amitabh and Jaya Bachchan’s son, Abhishek Bachchan, has been a part of the Indian film industry since the 2000s. He debuted with the film, Refugee, alongside Kareena Kapoor, and received offers for films back-to-back. However, most of the films flopped at the box office. But with constant hard work and dedication, he turned the tables in his favour and starred in several commercial as well as critically acclaimed films. Another aspect of Abhishek’s life, which garners attention every now and then, is his marital life with the Bollywood diva, Aishwarya Rai. The couple got engaged and then tied the knot in a lavish ceremony in 2007, and welcomed their little angel, Aaradhya, in 2011.
Once, Abhishek Bachchan shared how he met his lovely wife and went from being friends to life partners. In 2018, during a conversation at India Today Conclave East, the actor shared the nitty gritty of his love story and revealed that he worked with Aishwarya on the 2000 film, Dhai Akshar Prem Ke, and from there, their friendship started and eventually evolved into something special. He said:
