Why Abhishek Bachchan Married Aishwarya Rai

From being co-stars in the films Dhaai Akshar Prem Ke, Kuch Naa Kaho, Guru and many more, to be “just friends” and finally soulmates, Junior B, Abhishek Bachchan and ex-Miss World, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is the ‘it couple’ of Bollywood. After a formal proposal in New York, the lovebirds went to Mumbai and got officially engaged on January 14, 2007, at the Bachchan’s residence.

And finally, Abhishek Bachchan tied the knot with Aishwarya Rai on April 20, 2007, and ever since then, their bond is getting stronger with each passing day. While they complete their 11 years of togetherness on April 20, 2018, Abhishek reveals the real reason why he got married to the international face of the Indian cinema, Aishwarya.

In one of his old interviews, Abhishek Bachchan had discussed the reason for marrying Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. He stated:

“You don’t go home at night and say, ‘We are the IT couple’ or what we are going to do to maintain this. I think people spend too much time bothering about these things. Two of us have always been real about these things. We have no false illusions of grandeur nor we are aspiring to be that.”

To validate his point further, junior Bachchan added,

We aspire to be good human beings, loving children and good professionals at what we do. These epitaphs are not going to stay. Today, you are number one and tomorrow, you are not going to be. I have always been like that. I am Amitabh Bachchan’s son.

Describing the exact reason behind marrying Aishwarya Rai, he said:

“That’s not the basis of my relationship with Aishwarya. It’s not about – you’re hot and let’s get married. It’s not that. I married her for the human being that she is, not because she is the most successful actor we have or she is the international face of the Indian cinema because she is one of the most beautiful women. At the end of the day, when you come back home from a hard day at work, you go to bed and you have to face certain realities about how the person is like. These faces that we have come off at night without makeup. I married her for that person.”

In another interview to a daily, Abhishek had said,

“I am used to people whistling at my wife… see my wife then you will know why I am saying this. I have never whistled at her to woo her… I don’t think its the right thing to do. I courted her through my gesture, emotions and words. To which, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan had said, “This is why I am married to him.”
