Aishwarya Rai Reveals How She Got Engaged To Abhishek Bachchan While Shooting For Khwaja Mere Khwaja

Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan got married in 2007 and set marriage and couple goals much before any of the starry weddings we saw in 2018. Years later Aishwarya Rai remembers each and every detail of the very romantic proposal by Abhishek Bachchan and how they got engaged. In an interview with Filmfare, the actress recalled how she sat stumped on the sets of Jodha Akhbar dressed as a bride while shooting for the song Khwaja Mere Khwaja, where she got engaged in real life and was shooting for a marriage sequence in the movie.

She also remembered how the proposal got director Ashutosh Gowarikar and her co-star Hrithik Roshan super excited during shoot. “I remember. During the shoot of Jodha Akbar's song 'Khwaja Mere Khwaja', sitting as a bride, and I am like, omg this is surreal, all happening on-screen, off-screen, this is bizarre and Ashutosh is like you are engaged and I am like yeah.”

Abhishek - Aishwarya’s happily ever after started from there and the couple is still going strong nearly 12 years later. The duo will be reuniting on screen for the film Gulab Jamun soon.
