She also highlighted the importance of dignity, saying it’s rare and valuable in a world focused on appearances.

Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai’s love story began on the sets of Umrao Jaan. However, before that, Abhishek was already captivated by Aishwarya’s beauty when they first met in Switzerland while he was there for a film recce, and she was filming Aur Pyaar Ho Gaya with Bobby Deol. As they spent more time together during the filming of Umrao Jaan, Guru, and Dhoom 2, their feelings for each other grew. During the premiere of Guru, Abhishek proposed to Aishwarya, and she happily accepted.

There have been ongoing rumors claiming Aishwarya Rai’s wedding outfit, designed by Neeta Lulla, was worth Rs. 75 lakh. However, Neeta clarified in an old interview with Bollywood Hungama that these were just rumors. She explained that Aishwarya wore a simple Kanjeevaram saree, which couldn’t possibly cost crores or 75 lakh. The saree was paired with a well-fitted zardozi blouse, and Neeta requested people not to focus on the cost of her temple jewellery.
