Was a production boy when I first met Aishwarya: Abhishek Bachchan

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Abhishek Bachchan celebrated their 14th wedding anniversary recently and in an interview, the couple shared the story of how they first met in Switzerland.

Aishwarya was shooting for the movie Aur Pyar Ho Gaya starring Bobby Deol while Abhishek Bachchan was accompanying his father Amitabh Bachchan for the shooting of the film Mrityudata, where he was a production boy.

On YouTuber Ranveer Allahbadia’s podcast, Abhishek Bachchan revealed that he was a production boy when he first met Aishwarya.

Talking about his first meeting with his wife now, Abhishek said, “There was a film my father was making called Mrityudata, and I had gone for the location recce to Switzerland because the company felt that I would be able to take them to nice locations as I had grown up in Switzerland in boarding school. I had been there for a couple of days, all alone. And that’s when a childhood friend of mine, Bobby Deol, was shooting for his first film – Aur Pyar Ho Gaya. And he got to know I was there and said ‘Hey, why don’t you come over for dinner?

And that’s the first time when they were shooting when I met Aishwarya.”

Replying if he had a crush on her back then, Abhishek Bachchan chuckled, “Who doesn’t? I mean come on, come on.”
