Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is a well-known face in Bollywood. She broke many hearts when she got married to Abhishek Bachchan on April 20, 2007, in Mumbai. The duo has been happily married for about 16 years now and are proud parents to their daughter, Aaradhya Bachchan. Son of veteran actors, Amitabh Bachchan and Jaya Bachchan, Abhishek fell in love with Aishwarya on the sets of the film, Guru, which was released in January 2007. Soon, the couple tied the knot, and Aishwarya Rai became the ‘Bachchan Bahu’.
When Aishwarya Rai reacted to being called the Bahu of the Bachchan clan
Earlier, in a 2008 interview with NDTV, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan was asked about her views on being called the Bahu of the Bachchan clan and if she ever felt that the Bachchan surname in some way affected her identity. Reacting to the same, the actress said that she is just a regular girl named Aishwarya Rai, who got married to Abhishek Bachchan. She was quoted as saying:
“This question is a bit too drawn out there to have any kind of relevance in my life. Even all these terms get coined for glorious reading. It just makes it sound a little more dramatic than it is in terms of ‘Bachchan Bahu’. I’m just a regular girl. I’m Aishwarya Rai who got married to Abhishek Bachchan. So, that’s my name today.”
