While rumours of Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan’s divorce have been grabbing the headlines for quite some time, the speculations garnered limelight after none of the Bachchan family members wished Ash on her birthday, which was on 1st November.
Amid this, an old interview has surfaced online where she spoke about overcoming challenges with Abhishek Bachchan .
“There’s a lot of adjustment, a lot of give and take. There will be agreements and disagreements. But it’s important to keep the communication going. That’s something I’ve always believed in," Ash told Filmfare.
She continued, “Abhishek has been wonderful to respect that. Communication is extremely important in a relationship. Doesn’t it all start with friendship? What’s friendship all about? I’m not one of those who say, ‘Okay shut it for today and don’t take it to tomorrow.’ If it needs to go to tomorrow, then it’ll go to tomorrow. And if you can shut the chapter today, great! But neither fit into a rule book. There’s no finality in looking at each day. You have to be open-minded about how you share your time together. It also means respecting and being sensitive to your partner," she added.
While none of the Bachchan family members wished Ash on her 51st birthday, an old tweet of Big B recently went viral on Reddit, where the megastar not only thanked fans for their warm wishes for her daughter-in-law but also shared glimpses into how the family celebrated the big day.
The tweet of Big B from 2010 read, “T172 -First things first … thank you all for wishing Aishwarya on her birthday !! Have passed it on to her.. she thanks all … love."
In another tweet, he wrote, “T171 -….family dinner at Chinese in Taj where function was held … and brought in Aishwarya Birthday ..good feel about the day.."
Abhishek and Aishwarya tied the knot on April 20, 2007 and welcomed their daughter Aaradhya Bachchan on November 16, 2011.
