On Oprah Winfrey's show, Abhishek opened up about his proposal to Aishwarya. "I was filming in New York for a movie, and I used to stand on my balcony of my hotel room and wish that one day wouldn't it be nice if I was together with (Aishwarya), married? So I took her to the very same balcony, and I asked her to marry me," he said. Reportedly, they were in New York for Guru's premiere.
Abhishek and Aishwarya had a big fat Indian wedding at the Bachchan residence. They tied the knot in Mangalore style and saw big names from Bollywood and politics in attendance.
During their relationship, reports claimed that Aishwarya's kiss with Hrithik Roshan in Dhoom 2 created unrest in the Bachchan household. Rumours were rife that Aishwarya got married to a tree earlier to ward off the ill effects of being a 'Manglik'. Despite odds, Aishwarya and Abhishek's marriage stood the test of time. They are adored and loved by their fans who are now craving to watch them together on the big screen.
Aishwarya and Abhishek have a beautiful daughter named Aaradhya Bachchan who turned 12 years old in November last year. Post Aaradhya's birth, there were several speculations about the actress' second pregnancy. However, those held no truth.
