Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan are one of the much-loved couples in the Hindi film industry. The duo fell for one another while filming their movie, Umrao Jaan in 2006, and it was in 2007 when the couple hopped onto their forever journey. Abhishek and Aishwarya have been the power couple of the Tinseltown, and they have always set the bar high for the couples out there.
The way Abhishek and Aishwarya have been there for one another proves why they are hailed as the 'IT' couple in the Hindi film industry. Well, Aishwarya had to face a lot of mean comments, and she was even tagged as 'plastic' often. While the actress never reacted to the same, Abhishek Bachchan once reacted to people tagging his wife, Aishwarya, as 'plastic'. As per a report by the Times Of India, while talking to BBC Asian Network, Abhishek reacted to Aishwarya being tagged as 'plastic'. Abhishek stated how Aishwarya had to receive several mean comments, and people claimed that the actress only has a pretty face and called her 'very plastic'.
Abhishek Bachchan said that he was not answering as a husband but as an actor and co-star, that someone like Aishwarya, who is meant to be known for her beauty, has done some of the most daring roles. Well, Abhishek's short but sassy response is enough to make us understand how proud he is of his wife. In Abhishek's words:
"Actually if you go to see… and now I’m not speaking like a husband, I’m speaking as a co-star and an actor… she happens to have done some of the most daring kind of roles, that an actor, who’s basically meant to have been known only for her beauty, could have done."
In the same conversation, Abhishek Bachchan shared that his wife, Aishwarya has been least concerned about her looks, and she has always put her focus on her acting skills, which proves her talent beyond her looks. He further praised Aishwarya for her masterclass acting skills in movies like Provoked, Choker Bali, Raincoat, and Guru.
It's been long since several rumours about Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Abhishek Bachchan's marital life have been making headlines for one reason or another. Well, the couple never reacted to the same. Abhishek, in an interview with the Hindustan Times, was asked about the same. To this, the actor said that his wife has taught him not to pay any attention to the rumours, and they consider this gossip thing as the 'water off a duck’s back’, which means the love and positivity they receive is far more than the rumours. Abhishek stated that they treat this buzz thing with kala teeka and then just move on with their lives.
The buzz about Abhishek and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan's marital life being in trouble ignited when they arrived separately for Anant Ambani's wedding. Following the same, Abhishek's like to a post on divorce made rounds, which made the buzz more firm. Soon after, Abhishek Bachchan's dating rumours with Nimrat Kaur began. While there is no truth in this affair buzz, Abhishek and Nimrat were brutally trolled. Amid this going on, Abhishek skipped wishing Aishwarya her 51st birthday, and all of it fueled the fire of the buzz about the problems in the couple's marital life.
