On the personal front, Aishwarya Rai is married to Abhishek Bachchan. They’ve appeared in films like ‘Umrao Jaan’, ‘Guru’, ‘Kuch Naa Kaho’, and ‘Raavan’, to name a few. Aaradhya, the couple's daughter, was born in 2011.

Meanwhile, Abhishek Bachchan’s career has gone through a rollercoaster ride, where his films like ‘Raavan,’ ‘Game,’ ‘Khelein Hum Jee Jaan Sey,’ ‘All is Well,’ were anticipated, but they tanked miserably at the box office and it damaged Abhishek's filmography. Abhishek isn’t ashamed of his mistakes, and he doesn't regret making them. According to a Rolling Stones interview, the ‘Bunty aur Babli’ actor shared his view of being written-off, “I’ve seen the good side of being an employed actor, I’ve seen the other side of being an unemployed actor. The point is, you can’t take things personally… At the end of the day, it’s just business. If your films are not doing well, nobody’s going to put money on you to make another film.” 

Bachchan further asserted he had taken many setbacks in his career, “I do believe that the conversation around this whole nepotism has become a bit convenient, and we’re forgetting certain details. I’ve taken a lot of effort, a lot of heartache and heartbreak to make it through these 21 years. It’s not been easy.”
