For centuries, Bollywood has been the stage for some of the most extravagant and opulent weddings of its top stars. A perfect example of such a grand Bollywood wedding is the union of Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Abhishek Bachchan, which continues to live on in the memories of their fans.
The wedding of Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Abhishek Bachchan on April 20, 2007, captured widespread attention and discussion. After a courtship period, the couple exchanged vows in the presence of their families, creating a memorable event that made headlines due to their celebrity status and affluent backgrounds. Aishwarya’s wedding, rooted in her native Tulu traditions, exuded regal charm in every aspect.
Now, 16 years into their marriage, Aishwarya and Abhishek remain deeply in love, and their fans still cherish the nostalgia of their picture-perfect wedding. While numerous photos and videos from their wedding circulate on the internet, there is one rarely seen video, showcasing their varmala ceremony. Watch it here:
Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Abhishek Bachchan’s wedding resembled a fairy tale, but amid their love story, there were individuals who used the occasion to spread malicious rumors. At the time, there was widespread speculation that Aishwarya was a “maanglik,” believed to bring inauspiciousness to her spouse. To counteract this, it was rumored that she was first married to a tree. Although the couple never publicly addressed these rumors, Amitabh Bachchan later dismissed them as baseless.
Rumors and speculations surrounding Aishwarya and Abhishek’s wedding seemed never-ending at one point. On the very day of their wedding, a model named Jhanvi Kapoor appeared outside the Bachchan residence, Pratiksha, claiming to have been previously married to Abhishek Bachchan.
She alleged that Abhishek had betrayed her by marrying Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. While these claims did not disrupt the ongoing wedding festivities, the situation escalated when the model attempted suicide on the spot. Consequently, Jhanvi was arrested by the Mumbai Police.
