Let’s take a look at how their love story unfolded.
Abhishek Bachchan shared their journey from friendship to love during the India Today Conclave East in 2018. He talked about their initial friendship during the movie Dhaai Akshar Prem Ke. “We were dear friends. We were simultaneously doing another film, Kuch Na Kaho. We always had a close friendship, and in time, it evolved into something more than that,” he revealed.

Their love story deepened while working on Muzaffar Ali’s Umraao Jaan. Abhishek admitted, “Things took a serious turn during Umrao Jaan. After that, I proposed to her, and then we got married, and now we have a beautiful daughter, Aaradhya,” Abhishek praised Aishwarya for her dedication, whether in acting or as a mother.
In 2021, Abhishek also shared with Siddharth Kanan that Aishwarya had been one of his first co-stars. They worked together in Dhaai Akshar Prem Ke, which was technically his second film after Refugee. “So she’d been a dear, dear friend, and we’d worked in so many films together. It was a bit of both. The universe conspired to bring us together,” he revealed.

Abhishek proposed to Aishwarya in New York, and they had a grand wedding on April 20, 2007. The couple has also shared the screen in movies like Guru, Raavan, and Sarkar. As Abhishek celebrates his birthday, their enduring love story continues to inspire many.
