Actors Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Abhishek Bachchan are one of Bollywood’s most high-profile celebrity couples. Even a decade and a half after tying the knot, fan interest in them remains uncommonly high. And now, with their daughter Aaradhya also stepping into the limelight, the attention has only increased. In an old interview, Aishwarya spoke about coming from a very different background from Abhishek’s, and said that they first bonded as normal people and then as actors.
Speaking with David Frost for Al Jazeera in 2012, Aishwarya said that she and Abhishek lead ‘a regular life together’, and that a lot of credit for this must go to the upbringing they received from their respective parents. “I come from a family that has not been in the public eye, and even when I came into the public eye, I continued to lead a very normal life.

Aishwarya and Abhishek tied the knot amid intense media scrutiny in 2007. They welcomed Aaradhya in 2011. They’ve worked together in several films, the last being Raavan and Raavanan in 2010. Previously, they’d starred together in Bunty Aur Babli, Guru, Dhai Akshar Prem Ke and Dhoom 2.
