In a podcast with YouTuber, Ranveer Allahbadia, Abhishek Bachchan recalled his first meeting with Aishwarya Rai, when he was working as a production boy for his dad, Amitabh Bachchan's film, Mrityudaata. Talking about the same, he said:
"My dear friend Bobby Deol was shooting his first film, Aur Pyaar Ho gaya. I was at the same location, I went to say a hi to him when he said, 'oh come for dinner.' That was Aishwarya's first Hindi film and that's the first time I ever interacted with her."
Abhishek further stated that Aishwarya couldn't understand a word he spoke because of his heavy accent. Stating how Aishwarya still makes fun of their first meeting, the doting husband said:
"Whenever she talks about it, she jokingly says, ‘I couldn’t understand a word of what you were saying’. Because here I was, this kid from an international boarding school, then went to Boston. I must’ve had some really heavy accent at that point. And she was like, ‘What were you saying?’”
