The throwback photos show Aishwarya sitting on a throne with her husband and actor Abhishek Bachchan by her side. 

Both the actors are seen dressed in golden outfits for a ritual. Her mother Vrinda Rai is seen with an aarti thali (a plate bearing the holy light) in her hands, waving it in front of her daughter. Another picture shows Amitabh and Jaya Bachchan, giving their blessing to the couple. Abhishek is also seen fixing his wife’s hair and gajra in a picture. 

 

Aishwarya and Abhishek’s love story

This romance and marriage could well be a Bollywood script. She’s the most beautiful woman in the world and he’s the son of a Bollywood great. Ash and Bachchan Jr had dated other people before, but got to know each other when she did the “Kajra Re” song in Abhishek’s ‘Bunty aur Babli’. The two apparently fell in love during the making of ‘Guru’ and AB proposed to Ash during the film’s premiere in Toronto. They were married in April 2007 and are one of B-Town’s most-watched couples, also frequently roped in as husband and wife for brand endorsements.



Abhishek Bachchan has repeatedly been referred to, by well-wishers, as the “dark horse” of Bollywood. He is spotted at functions towering over his petite mother, Jaya Bachchan; he has almost always been seen hand-in-hand with his Beauty Queen wife, Aishwarya Rai; he is also seen walking shoulder-to-shoulder with his larger-than-life father, Amitabh Bachchan. Whatever/wherever he is, Abhishek has always been the object of focus of every snap-happy scribe.



Aishwarya Rai is not in the Hall of Fame for being the bahu of India’s most celebrated superstar. Nor for being wife to one of Bollywood’s most ambitious superstar aspirants. The Bachchan canopy just adds to the allure of this ethereal beauty, who has won for herself the tag of being India’s first international superstar.



In 2002, Abhishek announced his engagement with Karisma Kapoor, which was called off in early 2005.



Aishwarya has previously dated Salman Khan and Vivek Oberoi.



The duo first met on the sets of 2000 film ‘Dhaai Akshar Prem Ke’.



The couple have also shared screen space in ‘Kuch Naa Kaho’ (2003), ‘Umrao Jaan’ (2006), ‘Dhoom 2’ (2006), ‘Guru’ (2007), Sarkar Raj (2008) and ‘Raavan’ (2010).



Abhi-Ash got to know each other more when Aishwarya did the “Kajra Re” song in Abhishek’s ‘Bunty aur Babli’.



However, it was during the shooting of ‘Guru’ (2007), where the two actually realised their love for each other.



Abhishek confessed that while filming in New York, he used to stand on the balcony of his hotel room and wish that, ‘One day, wouldn’t it be nice if I was together with her, married!’



After the premiere of ‘Guru’, Abhishek took Aishwarya to the same balcony and asked, “Will you marry me?”.



Aishwarya accepted the proposal and the two got married the very next year on April 20, 2007.



Their marriage, which hogged headlines for weeks, was heralded as ‘Wedding of the Decade’.



Talking about Aishwarya Rai on Koffee With Karan, Abhishek Bachchan said: “To me she is the most beautiful thing on earth. She is great fun; she is really my best friend. I can talk to her about everything and that’s the reason I love her so much. I haven’t married her because she is the most beautiful woman or the biggest star on earth. That’s not the equation we share.”



“See, when Abhishek proposed to me, we were only lovers. But when you are married you can’t expect to remain only a wife. Isn’t it? I am happy that Abhishek gave me such a wonderful and caring family. He is everything I wanted my man to be and more,” said Aishwarya Rai.



On November 16, 2011, Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan became proud parents of a baby girl, Aaradhya.



Aishwarya on Aaradhya: “It’s splendid, it’s inescapable…the bliss is just wonderful. A smile from my daughter and thats it.”



Talking about motherhood, Aishwarya told Digital Spy: “Motherhood is such a glorious blessing and I am very thankful for that. It’s such a beautiful experience. I so strongly recommend it. It’s bliss, love and fulfillment of another level. And truly, nothing can ever pressure you or make you feel down ever from this moment on. It’s like you just felt the light from up there, that’s why you know why it’s called a blessing. Nothing makes you feel down. When I’m with her the day can be packed, there can be so much going on, you can be sleep deprived, anything, but nothing makes me feel down.”



Abhishek even called Aishwarya a “supermom.”

When asked if he would like to teach his daughter Aaradhya, Abhishek said: “No yaar. Aishwarya is superb at it. There is no room for me to do anything. She is a supermom.”



Talking about parenthood with Notchmag, Abhishek Bachchan said: “As a parent the greatest gift you can give your child is love, compassion, support and education. Aaradhya will have the privilege of choosing what she wants to wear and what she wants to be when she grows up. Whether she wants to walk the ramp, or be an actor will finally be her own decision. As a parent I will support her in whatever career move she makes.”



Here’s wishing the power couple a very happy wedding anniversary.

25/25 SLIDES

Abhishek and Aishwarya got married in 2007 and welcomed their daughter Aaradhya in 2011. Talking to Filmfare about her sudden engagement almost 12 years ago, Aishwarya said the Bachchans took everyone by shock. “He proposed, which was amazing! And it happened like really suddenly,” she said. “I didn’t even know there’s something called a ‘roka’ ceremony. We are South Indians, so, I don’t know what a ‘roka’ is and suddenly there is this call from their house to ours; ‘we are coming’.” 

She added, “Abhishek was like ‘we are all coming and I can’t stop dad. We are on our way. We are coming to your place’. I’m like, ‘Oh my God!’ So, this ‘roka’ is happening with a call to my father, who is out of town.” But, she said, “Mum is here, we are here. They’ve all arrived home, they are emotional and all. I’m like, ‘Oh my God, it’s happening.’ Then it’s like, ‘come on, let’s go home’. I’m like, ‘Mom, okay… is this…is this an engagement? Like, what just happened?'”

In the same interview, Aishwarya talked about how Abhishek proposed to her while she was on sets of Jodhaa Akhbar. “Ashutosh (Gowariker) is like ‘you are engaged’ and I am like ‘yeah,'”. “We’re doing Khawja Mere Khwaja, sitting as a bride, and I am like, oh my god this is surreal, all happening on-screen, off-screen, this is bizarre,” she said.

Abhishek was last seen in Anurag Kashyap’s Manmarziyaan and will soon be seen in Amazon Prime Video’s Breathe Season 2. Aishwarya is working on a project with Mani Ratnam.
