In a rare interview with the press, Abhishek Bachchan talks about turning 32, his busy schedule and, of course, no interview of his would be interesting without bringing up Aishwarya Rai.
On aging:
Thank you for reminding me. I don’t get bogged down by age. I’m just happy to be where I am.
On keeping a low profile:
It isn’t a conscious decision. Unfortunately, such is the nature of our career that we interact with the media only at an event or when a release is around the corner. Otherwise, we tend to get caught up in shootings. I’ve been travelling extensively during the past few months and had no time for anything but work and immediate family.
His thoughts on Ash:
I think she’s the most beautiful woman on earth.
On how important her opinion is to him:
I’m always very keen to know her reactions to my assignments and projects. She has very keen insight. She’s a wonderful sounding-board. I take Aishwarya’s advice just as I take my parents’ advice. They’re some great actors in the house and I do seek their advice.
On whether his opinion matters to her?
Oh most certainly. When she was in two minds about doing Pink Panther because my grandmother was ailing and this film required her to be out of the country for two months, I encouraged her to do the film. It was a wonderful opportunity for her to work with some great actors.

Teji Bachchan, actress and mother of Amitabh Bachchan passed away on Friday after suffering from numerous health problems for nearly a year.
The 93-year-old was best known for being the second wife of renowned Hindi poet Harivansh Rai Bachchan. In fact, the death of his first wife Shyama sent him into a profound depression and brought on the voices in his head which only Teji could shut off after hooking him in 1941.
Together the two would sing their little hearts out and often won wide acclaim during their younger days as a singing duo.
After losing his father in 2002 at the age of 96, Amitabh bid farewell to his mother at the Juhu Cremation Ground Saturday, December 22.
Most of the Bachchan family and friends visited them to pay their respects. Two unlikely frenemies to show up were Vivek Oberi (pictured below) and Aamir Khan.
After recently slamming Amitabh’s acting skills, the actor was too chicken to face the Bachchan household alone and ended up dragging his wife along to pay his condolences. Vivek, on the other hand, was ballsy enough to attend the funeral, perhaps exchanging a few glances with his ex, Aishwarya Rai.

While Aishwarya Rai cluelessly stares off into the distance, smooth operator Abhishek Bachchan is caught sneaking a peak at Sussanne Roshan’s goodies through a revealing blouse.

Rumors of a rift between the two Bollywood dynasties — the Khans and the Bachchans — regularly makes headlines in India. At a recent Diwali event, the Police Fest held in Mumbai, both stars came face to face, but the sight of Shahrukh reportedly filled Amitabh only with loathing. Being the gentlemen that he is, Shahrukh held out his hand to the aging star, but he supposedly couldn’t bring himself to shake it. Ouch! After a second of fighting with his mind, Amitabh got up and left in a huff.
While some would have you believe that Amitabh’s appalling behavior is a result of Shahrukh’s refusal to attend the IIFA (of which Big B is brand ambassador) or King Khan endorsing the same products as Bachchan OR even taking over the KBC mantle from Bachchan, we simply consider this a case of jealousy mania!
Perhaps, that could explain why Shahrukh wasn’t sent an invitation for Abhishek’s wedding. Were they afraid he’d outshine the groom? Or could it be Shahrukh’s acting abilities to perfection while Abhi has to rely on his wife propping him up!
Oh well, to see more pictures from the annual pre-diwali event
