In an interview with Siddharth Kannan, Dabboo Ratnani mentioned that he had exclusively done the first photoshoot of Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan together for a movie. The shoot took place in Switzerland for their initial film, and Abhishek, being new to posing with a girl, sought guidance from Dabboo, asking for ideas on how to go about it.
Dabboo Ratnani went on to share that this happened before Abhishek and Aishwarya started dating. He described Abhishek as a proper gentleman, expressing how the actor was initially a bit awkward during their first photoshoot together, seeking ideas on how to pose with a girl. As they continued working together over subsequent shoots, the initial awkwardness faded, and they became more comfortable.

Abhishek and Aishwarya’s initial film collaboration was in ‘Dhai Akshar Prem Ke.’ Abhishek once shared his experience with the photoshoot for the film with Aishwarya, stating, “The first time Aishwarya and I met professionally was in 1999, during a photoshoot for Dhai Akshar Prem Ke. It was our first film together, and I expected a diva. Instead, she was disarmingly wonderful.”
Following their first film together, ‘Dhai Akshar Prem Ke,’ Abhishek and Aishwarya continued to share the screen in movies such as'”Kuch Naa Kaho,’ ‘Bunty Aur Babli,’ ‘Guru,’ and ‘Dhoom 2,’ among others. The couple eventually got married in 2007, and in 2011, they welcomed their daughter, Aaradhya.
