Throwback! When Aishwarya Rai broke her silence on getting married to a ‘tree’ before her dream wedding with Abhishek Bachchan.
Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan have been grabbing the limelight due to their personal lives. There are several reports and incidents that indicate couple has been separated and are no longer together. Amid these speculations, a statement of Aishwarya Rai regarding marrying a ‘tree’ goes viral.
Did Aishwarya Rai marry a ‘tree’ before getting hitched to Abhishek Bachchan?
Before her grand wedding with Abhishek Bachchan, there were rumours that Aishwarya had to marry a tree because she was manglik. She needed to perform an ancient ritual to get rid off bad omens. However, after her marriage, she addressed those rumours stating it was all unnecessary. In an interview with NDTV, the actress revealed, “Yes, there was so much of that. I just thought it was so unnecessary. To dedicate the kind of prime time, the kind of newsprint, the kind of magazine cover stories for all of that was very unnecessary. The wonderful part was that as a family, we are solid. We are all in the public eye, and we have ample opportunity to voice ourselves, but instead of adding to the din, we decided to have the father of the family… Paa did meet the media at a very decided point in time way after the wedding, and answered all the queries.”
Aishwarya further mentioned that after listening to all this she was surprised. “It’s shocking. While we would like to imagine that it is a passing phase, it gets logged. And I recognised it at times when you get to travel abroad, of which there is an ample opportunity… So, you’re constantly interacting with international media, and when they start wondering at the sheer ludicrous nature of everything, like, ‘You got married to a tree, and you have this huge curse on you?’ You just think, ‘Oh my god, where am I going to start….” the actress added.
The former Miss World broke many hearts when she decided to marry Abhishek Bachchan. They fell in love on the sets of Dhoom 2. While shooting for Guru, Abhishk proposed Aishwarya, and rest is the history. They welcomed parenthood in 2011 with the birth of their daughter Aaradhya Bachchan. Their wedding was highly talked about events of 2007 and was covered in massive detail by media.
