Aishwarya Rai

Bollywood’s hottest couple, Abhishek and Aishwarya Rai are set to celebrate their third wedding anniversary which is today on 20th April. First of all wishing them a happy wedding anniversary and many many happy years of married life to come.

Last year both were busy shooting for movies. Abhishek was in Miami shooting for the movie “Dostana” and Ash surprised him by paying him a visit on the sets, on their anniversary. But of course they did not get too much time for themselves.

This year also, both were busy shooting for Mani Ratnam’s “Raavan” and the kinda of professionals both Ash-Abhi are, they refused to take some time off from the shoot, even when Mani Ratnam insisted. Few days back Aishwarya Rai was bruised on the sets of Raavan. And so i am guessing this made the couple change their mind and they headed off to an undisclosed location, most probably somewhere in US, for their second honeymoon.

Abhishek’s father Amitabh Bachchan on his blog, said that the couple was taking a flight to New York. Some other source close to the couple said, “The two have gone to an undisclosed destination and will be back in time for the music release of Raavan on April 24.”

Abhishek Bachchan too posted on his Twitter page: “It’s Houdini time again. Have managed to abduct the wife. See you all soon.”

According to another source, the duo have been planning this holiday so that they could spend some time together after keeping busy with their respective shooting schedules.

Last year, the actors took out time for a week-long vacation while they were shooting for Mani Ratnam’s Raavan, which is among their most awaited films this year.

The couple got married in 2007 in a grand wedding ceremony at Bachchan’s residence Prateeksha in Mumbai. Just for your information

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan has lot of movies in line this year. But even i never noticed Aishwarya, till date has not acted in a complete comedy movie. However as per director of the movie, Vipul Shah, says that “Action Replay” will bring to the audiences her first full-fledged comedy. Of course comedy, which is the hardest genre to do, is not taken seriously at the awards. But in my film, Aishwarya has done comedy for the first time. She may have attempted it here and there earlier. But this is her first full-fledged comedy role. But she’s welcome to get the awards for her other two releases…I don’t mind”

Wonder what two movies Vipul Shah was talking about? Mani Ratnam’s “Raavan” and Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s “Guzaarish” are the other two films she will be doing this year. While “Raavan” is slated for a June 18 release, Vipul Shah is all set to release his film “Action Replay” in July, arguing that the two films are completely different in mood, theme and treatment. Bhansali’s “Guzaarish”, on other hand, is set to release sometime in November. So it’s definitely a big time for Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. Ummm..Keeping my finger crossed…

Seems like Vipul Shah has learned some lesson from past mistake. He had a bitter experience last year when his Salman Khan starrer “London Dreams” released a month after the actor’s home production “Main Aur Mrs.Khanna“. Now apparently Shah plans to sit down with Mani Ratnam and figure out a release strategy whereby neither film suffers. He said: “Raavan and Action Replay are very different films. And I thought I’d release (mine) in July. But I think I’ll now discuss it with Aishwarya and Mani Ratnam. We need to work as one big family in this industry.”

“Besides, I still have a song to shoot whereas Raavan is complete. I’ve yet to figure out when I can shoot it because both Aishwarya and Akshay are constantly traveling. We were supposed to shoot it earlier this year in the snow in Manali. Now we may go higher up at the Rohtang Pass or change the location for the song completely,” the director added.

The latest buzz doing the rounds in bolly circles is that the film Raavana’s director Mani Ratnam had taken a real life like shot in one of the scenes, which nearly froze the unit due to fright for a moment.

It so happened that the director, who had undergone a bomb scare in real life, when a bomb was hurled at him and luckily it burst in mid air just before it reached him, wanted to incorporate this particular scene in his film “Raavana”.

Now, the two leads that is, Aishwarya Rai and the south star Vikram, were to be the ones to be attacked with the bomb. For the shoot, a petrol bomb was to be used, this had to be hurled from a distance of 25 feet, and it was supposed to burst mid air just 15 feet from where the stars were.

This bit of the scene was to be done with utmost accuracy. As everyone on the sets, including the action director were quite tensed, the leading actors, Aishwarya and Vikram, very bravely enacted the scene. The action master also had done the required act perfectly; the bomb exploded exactly the way the director wanted it to.

The actors braved it out and no one had the guts to say that they would not be able to do the stunt scene, out of fear, as no one wanted to upset the respected director’s wish.

However, since the shot has already been Okayed, it remains to be seen how effective it will be for the film.

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is a thoroughly professional actress and she is ready to go the extra-mile to get under the skin of her character. For her upcoming movie, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan underwent training in Indian classical singing. According to news reports, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is going to play the character of Sita in Mani Ratnam’s movie, Raavan.

The movie is based on famous Indian epic, Ramayana. Aishwarya Rai Bachchan will be playing the character of Sita and hubby Abhishek Bachchan will play the character of Ram and Govinda will play the role of Hanuman. In real life, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is quite a good singer but not good enough to sing classical songs. For her role, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan wants to sing all the songs by herself. She will take lessons from a guru.

Currently, Farhan Akhtar has become hugely popular by singing songs in Rock On!! but there are several actors and actresses in Bollywood who sang for their roles.

Farhan Akhtar’s step mother, Shabana Azmi also underwent training to sing her songs in Morning Raga. Among the Khans, Aamir Khan became very much popular singing “Aati Kya Khandala” in Ghulam. Shah Rukh Khan tried his luck in Josh (2000).

Last but not the least, mega star Amitabh Bachchan sang several songs in his movies and some of them are very much popular even today.

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Abhishek Bachchan are also going to star in the remake of famous classical movie, Abhimaan (1973). In the original version, the central characters were played by Aishwarya Rai Bachchan’s in-laws; Jaya Bachchan and Amitabh Bachchan. Jaya Bachchan played the role of a singer and so will Aishwarya Bachchan.

As many of Aishwarya’ s and Abhishek’s regular fans would be knowing, the couple got married on 20th April 2007. So this 20th, they celebrated their second marriage anniversary.

I know it’s 27th April today and i should have updated this website with their wedding anniversary news a week back. But i was very busy last few days. And all spare time was eaten up Indian Premiere League 20-20 cricket that’s going in South Africa. So, i really didn’t get anytime to update this blog. Anyways, as the famous saying goes on “Better late then never”.

Okay, so first of all, we would like to wish Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan a wonderful and blessed second marriage anniversary. We always wish that you truly live as a happily married couple.

Now for the readers. Earlier, there surfaced some rumors that the making of “Raavan” has been suspended for some time due to Mani Ratnam‘s health issues. Apparently, the rumor turned out to be true. Ratnam, who was admitted to a private hospital, following breathing difficulty and dizziness, has been advised by doctor to rest for a while. As a result the schedule of Raavan has been slightly pushed ahead. So this gave Aishwarya and Abhishek, a chance to get away and spend some, much needed quality time together.

Aishwarya and Abhishek took a week-long holiday to an undisclosed destination. It has to be some exotic location in United States or Europe. But since it’s undisclosed so i better not start guessing. But what i do hope is that they spend a good time in there which this couple really needs.

On 20th April 2007, the couple finally got married. You can read all about that in here >> “Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan, Finally Married“. After their marriage, the couple went for a month long “Honeymoon to Europe“. But their honeymoon was often disturbed by L’Oreal advertisement and endorsement commitments and the launching and premier of Mani Ratnam’s “Guru“. So you see, thy didn’t have a great time due to overloaded working at that time. Last year, when it was time for their first marriage anniversary, it was again busy schedule that almost kept them away from each other. Abhishek Bachchan at that time was shooting for “Dostana” in Miami, Florida. Aishwarya Rai had to join him there in order to celebrate their first wedding anniversary. This year they were supposed to be working again but Mani Ratnam somehow managed to let them take an off. So now probably you understand why i have been mentioning “a much needed quality time”? Also, you may also realize that being a star and such celebrity status, is hard to achieve and even harder to keep. The couple even refused earlier to Mani Ratnam’s offer of a week off. According to a source “Mani Ratnam had suggested he’d start the schedule later to give Abhishek and Aishwarya a chance to take time off for their anniversary. But the couple had refused. It’s only now when the schedule is pushed ahead that they’ve decided to take that anniversary holiday”.

We at AishwaryaWeb.com would like to wish Aishwarya and Abhishek a blessed marriage anniversay. At the same time we also wish Mani Ratnam a speedy recovery.
