In the new pictures, Aishwarya is seen holding a bouquet of flowers while taking a selfie with Abhishek and Aaradhya. The three of them smiled and looked beautiful in the frame. Sharing the pictures, Aishwarya posted a red heart emoticon in the caption.
Abhishek and Aishwarya met in the early 2000s and collaborated on films like Dhoom 2 and Guru. They married in April 2007 and welcomed their daughter, Aaradhya, in 2011. Over the years, the couple has largely remained private around their personal life and have chosen to address rumors only occasionally.
About their relationship
In a podcast with Lily Singh a few weeks ago, Abhishek opened up about the equation he shares with Aishwarya Rai, talking about the time they worked on a film for the first time. He shared, “When my parents got married, my mother was a much bigger star than my father. So it wasn’t unnatural. I wasn’t raised to think that you have to be the dominant one; it was always about partnership. I’ve known Aishwarya since the beginning of my career. The second film I did was with her, and she’s the only actress I’ve worked with the most. We weren’t in a relationship then, we were friends, we were always friends.”
He continued: “When we finally came together through our courtship, engagement and then our marriage, it was always about a partnership. There has never been an argument like, ‘I’ll bring the food and you’ll take care of the house.’ It’s not even discussed; it flows very naturally. But, for me, that comes from a severe ego. I’m not someone who wants to win because someone else got laid and you come along. I was raised to believe that victories are won. My father didn’t throw me in and to this day “He hasn’t made a movie for me. In fact, I produced a movie for him. I’m glad. Whatever it is today, I can say that I have achieved it on my own merit. The reason I say ego is that I have never been the type of person that someone else has to give up or stop running for me to win that race.”
