Aishwarya Rai Was 'Doubtful', Abhishek Bachchan 'Nervous' Ahead Of Kajra Re Shoot
Last Updated:
Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai tied the knot two years after Bunty Aur Babli released, i.e. in 2007.
The 'Kajra Re" song from the 2005 movie Bunty Aur Babli remains one of the most popular songs to date. It is widely loved by all and was picturised on Amitabh Bachchan, Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai. However, not many people know that Abhishek was 'nervous' before the shoot of Kajra Re, whereas Aishwarya Rai was 'doubtful', thinking she might not be able to pull off the song.
In a recent interview, choreographer Vaibhavi Merchant, who worked on the song with the actors, recalled what happened on the sets. She mentioned that Abhishek was nervous to shoot a song with his father. Vaibhavi mentioned it was because Big B maintains a very professional relationship with everyone at work.
'Abhishek was quite nervous. But I told him not to worry, and that I'd balance it out well. When Mr. Bachchan is on set, he's not a father. There are no personal equations coming in the way. He's a thorough professional. He'd remain in character. He'd even appreciate the costume designer for giving nice costumes to the back dancers. Meanwhile, Abhishek is a different temperament on set. He's all about fun and pranks," Vaibhavi told Screen.
The choreographer further shared that Aishwarya was doubtful about whether she would be able to pull Kajra Re off, as she had not done anything like it before. 'This is my story with a lot of actors, who start out as friends and turn into lovers on my set. I'm happy these divine interventions do happen, and I get to be a part of them. Sometimes, I could even write a book on this (laughs). But obviously, nobody thought of it then. I never imagined this as the outcome of that moment. They were all thorough professionals," she added.
Vaibhavi had worked previously with Aishwarya on films like Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam, Kuch Naa Kaho, Kyun! Ho Gaya Naa.
Interestingly, just two years after the film's release, Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai tied the knot. The couple are parents to a daughter, Aaradhya. Last year, rumours of trouble in their married life also made headlines. However, the couple has not issued an official statement as of now.

Aishwarya Rai was set to make her Bollywood debut with THIS blockbuster film, rejected it due too.., her first film then flopped, name was…
Aishwarya Rai was set to make her Bollywood debut with THIS blockbuster film, rejected it due too.., her first film then flopped, name was… Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, known globally as the most beautiful woman in the world, is far more than just a pretty face. Her elegance, confidence and aura is something that is unexplanatory. Before the world came to know who Aishwarya Rai is, she already made a bold choice that set her apart from the rest. Very few know the story behind her success. Surprisingly, Aishwarya didn't enter Bollywood with a blockbuster film. In fact, her debut film Aur Pyaar Ho Gaya, opposite Bobby Deol, tanked at box office. However, before making her debut, Aishwarya was already turning down films and not just any other film, but superhits. Once, in an interview with Vogue, she made a surprising revelation that left her admirers shocked. She said, 'If I hadn't taken part in Miss India, Raja Hindustani would have been my first film.' Yes, Aishwarya already had multiple offers in her kitty even before she became Miss World in 1944. But she had different plans. Well, this wasn't the only blockbuster she said no to while starting off. She was offered Kuch Kuch Hota Hai too, the character of Tina. However, there was a certain image about the role that didn't settle right with her, and she walked away. However, despite turning down some iconic films, Aishwarya continued to thrive and made an undeniable mark with her work in the industry. In 2007, she stunned the world, but this time not with a film, but with her wedding. She got married to Abhishek Bachchan in a grand ceremony, and in 2011, became mother to her little angel Aaradhya Bachchan.
