(Dunya News) – Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan have been happily married for 11 years now. The duo also shares an adorable baby girl, Aaradhya Bachchan. In a recent Filmfare interview, she was prodded with the question, "How and when did Abhishek Bachchan propose to her?" To which, she recalled the entire incident and termed it "surreal" and "bizarre".
It was in 2008 when Aishwarya Rai Bachchan was working on Ashutosh Gowariker s film, Jodhaa Akbar, and Abhishek paid a visit to her on the film s set.
The actress said that the moment was "surreal" for her as she was getting married in real life, and was shooting for the song “Khwaja Mere Khwaja”, which was again a wedding song. She also recalled how her director and Hrithik Roshan reacted to the news.
"Ashutosh is like you are engaged and I am like, yeah," Aishwarya said, while Duggu (Hrithik), gave her an excited thumbs up. Aishwarya remembered that the crew was filming the “Khwaja Mere Khwaja” scene that day and how bizarre the experience was, considering that too, it was about a wedding. "We re doing “Khwaja 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.
Aishwarya and Abhishek made their relationship public only after announcing their engagement in 2007. They were married shortly afterwards in a private ceremony at the Bachchan residence in Mumbai. Aishwarya and Abhishek have worked together on numerous films, such as Dhoom 2, Guru and Raavan.
