When Abhishek Bachchan called Amitabh Bachchan after proposing to Aishwarya Rai in New York: ‘Humko kya lena-dena hai aur kuchh se'
It's doubtful if there's any other couple in Bollywood whose every aspect of life makes as big headlines as Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan's does. From their adorable moments together and their bond with daughter Aaradhya to reports of Aishwarya's alleged tiff with other members of the Bachchan family and persistent rumours that the two are heading for a separation, anything and everything related to the couple quickly becomes a hot topic.
Not just the latest updates, even their old photos and videos often go viral on social media, winning the attention and hearts of fans. Having tied the knot in April 2007, they've been married for 18 years now. Interestingly, Abhishek's proposal was as filmy as their lives, with him making the move while they were in The Big Apple for the premiere of ace filmmaker Mani Ratnam's Guru, wherein the two of them shared the screen. After she said yes, Abhishek apparently called home right away to share the news with his parents.
Once, Abhishek's father, legendary actor Amitabh Bachchan, shared his reaction upon learning about his son's engagement. In a past interview, he shared: 'Abhishek and Aishwarya are fond of each other. In New York, after the premiere of Guru, Abhishek called me and said that he had proposed to her. I said, 'Come on home.' I asked Aishwarya if she was happy. She said yes. I picked them up and took her home. I told her, this is your home. Humko kya lena dena hai aur kuch se? (What do we have to do with anything else?)'
Interestingly, Abhishek himself once shared the motivation behind his decision to ask for her hand in marriage in New York. 'I was filming in New York for a movie and I used to stand on the balcony of my hotel room and wish that one day, you know, wouldn't it be nice if I was together with her, married. So I took her to the very same balcony and I asked her to marry me,' he said during their joint appearance on Oprah Winfrey's show. Clearly moved by this, Aishwarya added, 'That was sweet. It was very real at the same time.'

Exclusive - Abhishek Malik on winning hearts in Jamai No.1: TV keeps you grounded
Popular television actor Abhishek Malik, who is currently seen in the hit daily soap Jamai No.1, continues to captivate audiences with his performance, screen presence, and emotional depth. Known for his versatility and composed on-screen charm, Abhishek opens up about what keeps him anchored in the high-pressure world of television, the love he receives from his family, how he tackles feedback's, and the evolving dynamics between his character and Riddhi in the show. Speaking about the demands and beauty of working in the TV industry, Abhishek says 'Television is a very demanding medium—it requires long hours, emotional investment, and a high level of consistency. But it's also the most intimate connection an actor can have with an audience. When people welcome you into their living rooms every single day, when they look forward to your character's next move, that bond becomes very real. ' According to Abhishek, it's this daily engagement that allows actors to leave a lasting impact. 'You're not just part of a story—they start seeing you as part of their lives. That level of connection is incredibly humbling.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 2 & 3 BHK Homes Near Padur, OMR Starting @ ₹72.50 Lakh* TVS Emerald Undo For Abhishek, acting goes far beyond reciting lines—it's about emotionally stepping into the shoes of someone else. 'There are days when your character's pain stays with you long after the shoot ends. That's how deep the involvement becomes. The audience senses this honesty, and they respond to it. Many even begin to draw inspiration from the character, which is such a big responsibility.' He acknowledges how powerful it is when fans tell him they feel a personal connection with his portrayal. 'It's moments like these that remind you why you chose this craft in the first place.' Behind the spotlight and the fanfare lies a strong support system—and for Abhishek, that's his family. 'My parents are very supportive of my work. They watch every episode, sometimes even more keenly than I do! Their feedback, both good and critical, matters deeply to me. They're not afraid to tell me where I can do better, and that honesty keeps me grounded.' He adds that his parents' pride in his achievements is what keeps him motivated during the most challenging times. 'When they're proud, it means more than any award.' While social media can be a platform for immense love, it also brings unsolicited negativity. 'I genuinely enjoy reading heartfelt messages from fans—it lifts my spirits. But I've also learned that not everyone will have kind words, and that's okay. There will always be trolls, but you can't let them define your journey. I don't give energy to hate. My job is to stay focused on my growth, my work, and my truth.' Looking ahead, Jamai No.1 promises an exciting twist, particularly in the relationship arc of Abhishek's character. 'There's a major shift happening. Viewers will see a deepening bond between my character and Riddhi—it's warm, tender, and emotionally rich. But just as their closeness grows, life throws some unexpected challenges their way.' Muskuraane Ki Vajah Tum Ho actor Abhishek Malik shows his last clicked selfie on his phone
