The
Aishwarya
Rai-Abhishek Bachchan love story could easily be a movie script
as it has all the essences of a movie full of surprises, action and betrayal and
concludes with a happy ending.
Abhishek and Aishwarya first met each other on the sets of Dhai Akshar Prem Ke directed by Raj Kanwar six years ago.
They got along fabulously with each other, and even if they were attracted they wouldn’t show it because they were in separate relationships. Aishwarya was dating Salman and Abhishek was dating Karisma.
But destiny played cupid and brought them together again in Rohan Sippy’s Kuch Naa Kaho, just when things started warming up between the two. Aishwarya’s then boyfriend Sa
lman
went on a rampage on the sets of Shahrukh Khan’s Chalte Chalte
breaking everything that came his way.
Unfortunately Kuch Na Kaho too bombed at the box office and once again Ash and Abhishek went their own ways.
After a heated drama Aishwarya breaks all ties with Salman and starts dating her co-star of Kyun Ho Gaya Na? – Vivek Oberoi. Even during this phase Ash kept in touch with Abhishek.Ash and Abhi continued being good friends. The flipside of this friendship… well you guessed it right, love of course!,
With three consecutive films Umrao Jaan, Dhoom 2 and Guru, they got loads of quality time to spend with each other and eventually love bloomed between the two. Of course Ash reciprocated his feelings but not before trampling on Vivek’s by just sending him a mere SMS.
And
thus started a long saga of rumours Are they dating? Are they married? Is this
just a mere promotional gimmick for their films? and so on
Both families made a series of
denials, but alas the story was out in the open
Then came a few hiccups in the story Aishwarya’s mangal dosh and her infamous
kiss in Dhoom 2 which reportedly did not go too well with the
Bachchans .The mangal dosh was rectified by several visits to temples
right from goddess Meenashi of Madhurai to
Ajmer
dargha.
The kissing tale – well the Bachchans forgave their soon to be bahu and hushed up the matter, so all’s well that ends well.
And now the climax of the story Abhishek proposes to Aishwarya in New York , just after the premiere of Guru.FINALLY they are talking!! With a small ceremony and a few selected friends and family the couple gets engaged with the blessings of their family on the festive occasion of January 14, Makar Sankranti.
