Aishwarya Rai is one of the most stunning actresses in Bollywood. The diva celebrates her 52nd birthday today, and while she’s known across the world as one most beautiful woman, her husband Abhishek Bachchan has always seen her for much more than just her looks. Abhishek has often said that he didn’t fall in love with Aishwarya or marry her because of her beauty alone, but because of the person she is. He has always admired her for being beautiful inside out and for the strong bond they built long before romance entered their story.
When Abhishek Bachchan defended Aishwarya Rai’s talent
In an old chat with BBC, the ‘Bunty Aur Babli’ actor opened up about how sometimes the ‘Jodhaa Akbar’ actress’ beauty takes the focus away from her real strength, her acting. He said, “I’m being protective over here of my wife, my beautiful wife. When she came to the industry, she was Miss World and she still is the most beautiful woman on earth. That’s something stuck with her and no denying that. As an audience, I think a lot of her charm comes from her beauty and demeanor but that shouldn’t take away from her performance capabilities.”As Abhishek said these words, Aishwarya sat beside him smiling lovingly. She leaned her head on his shoulder, proving how deep their bond truly is.
