Abhishek Bachchan recalls first interaction with wife Aishwarya

In a recent interview, actor Abhishek Bachchan recollected the time when he met his now-wife Aishwarya Rai Bachchan for the first time. He said she couldn’t understand a word he said because of his thick accent. In an appearance on ‘The Ranveer Show’ podcast, Abhishek recalled the story of how he was sent to scout for locations in Switzerland for his father because he'd gone to school there.
He was working as a production boy for Amitabh Bachchan on ‘Mrityudaata’, and was sent to scout for locations in Switzerland. Actor Bobby Deal was also shooting his film ‘Aur Pyar Ho Gaya’ at the same time and called him over for dinner. The movie was Aishwarya’s Hindi debut and was the first time she and Abhishek actually interacted.
Abhishek said, “And whenever she talks about it, she jokingly says, ‘I couldn’t understand a word of what you were saying.’ Because here I was, a kid from an international boarding school then went to Boston. I must’ve had some really heavy accent at that point. And she was like, ‘What were you saying?’.” The actor added that his father had later advised him to learn Hindi before starting his acting career in Bollywood.
Both, Abhishek and Aishwarya are parents to daughter Aaradhya and recently celebrated her 10th birthday in the Maldives.
