When Aishwarya Rai Reacted To Being Labeled As Bachchan Bahu

The couple, now happily married for 16 years and parents to their daughter Aaradhya fell in love on the sets of the film Guru. During the 2008 interview with NDTV, Aishwarya opened up on being labeled as the ‘Bachchan Bahu’. She asserted that she was a regular girl who happened to marry Abhishek Bachchan.

The actress was quoted as saying, ‘This question is a bit too drawn out there to have any kind of relevance in my life. Even all these terms get coined for glorious reading. It just makes it sound a little more dramatic than it is in terms of ‘Bachchan Bahu’. I’m just a regular girl. I’m Aishwarya Rai who got married to Abhishek Bachchan. So, that’s my name today.’

Further discussing the Bachchan surname, Aishwarya said that the family’s prolonged presence in the public eye has stirred conversations about their name. However, she clarified that her marriage to Abhishek was solely because of their love for each other, and not an attempt to make a statement.

‘It’s all perception and I guess it kind of generates the talk because of the fact that the members of this family have definitely been in the public eye so I guess thereby the relevance of the surname. People within the family have earned the recognition on the public platform and deservedly so the name is given its place and people work hard to retain its dignity and that’s the functioning of a family. But we are a family. Abhishek and I loved each other and we got our parents blessings and we got married. We weren’t looking to make a statement.
