TL;DR:Abhishek Bachchan met Aishwarya Rai way before they became celebsāon a random location recce in Switzerland in 1995. He had a super heavy boarding-school accent and she literally couldnāt understand a word he said! Still, fate brought them back together years later, and now theyāre married with a kid. Read on for all the fun deets! š©āā¤ļøāšØāØ
šŗļø A Chill Meet-Cute in the Swiss Alps!
Back in the midāā90s, Abhishek (who was just a production boy then) was sent to scout Swiss locations for his dadās film Mrityudata. He bumps into his buddy Bobby Deol, whoās shooting Aur Pyaar Ho GayaĀ with none other than Aishwarya Rai. Bobby invites him over for dinner and bamāfirst meet! Abhishek laughs today recalling, āShe didnāt understand a word I said!ā because of his thick accent.
š¤ What Happened at Dinner?
Imagine a hotel dining table with Bobby, Mickey Contractor (Aishās makeup guy and old family friend), Aishwarya, and Abhishek. Abhi, fresh from boarding school and Boston college, is speaking in a mix of Swiss/Boston accent that left Aish totally puzzled! She thought, āWhat on earth is he saying?ā.
š From Confusion to Connection
Even though that first conversation was lost in translation, their destiny wasnāt. They later met again on film sets like Dhai Akshar Prem Ke, Umrao Jaan, and Dhoom 2, and sparks started flying. Abhishek even proposed using the ring prop from Guru! They got engaged in January 2007 and married in April the same year.
š Did You Know?
They officially first met in 1995Ā in Switzerland, not in the 2000s set!Ā
Abhishek is a mix of Mumbai, Delhi, Switzerland, and Bostonāall that influenced his crazy accent.
Despite the accent "barrier," destiny brought them backāleading to one of Bollywoodās most loved marriages.
āØ MediaFx Take (From the Peopleās Perspective)
From a working-class lens, this story shows how simple beginningsālike a casual dinnerācan lead to lifelong bonds š«. Hollywood-style glossy meetings? Nope. This was real, humble, unpredictable life. It proves that even celebs are like usāawkward hilarity, thick accents, random friendship dinners, and eventually true love š„°.
