Amitabh Bachchan, a name synonymous with respect and tradition in Indian cinema, has always put family first. He often shares his love and respect for his family and elders publicly. However, a light-hearted remark he made about Aishwarya Rai 20 years ago still grabs attention today, even though time has passed and relationships have evolved.
A 20-Year-Old Comment Still Discussed
This story dates back to 2004, during the promotion of the film Kyon Ho Gaya Na. Aishwarya Rai, Amitabh Bachchan, and Vivek Oberoi starred in this romantic drama. While promoting the film, Amitabh made a comment about Aishwarya that is still brought up in conversations today.
At the time, Aishwarya Rai was not married to Abhishek Bachchan, but she had already earned immense respect from Amitabh. The two had worked together in multiple films, and their professional camaraderie was well-known. However, during this particular event, Amitabh Bachchan made a joke about working with Aishwarya that left many fans talking.
Big B Played Aishwarya’s ‘Uncle’ in the Film
In the movie Kyon Ho Gaya Na, Amitabh Bachchan played the role of an orphanage caretaker, while Aishwarya’s character referred to him as ‘uncle’. This was a part of the script, but hearing Aishwarya call him ‘uncle’ didn’t sit well with the megastar, even though it was all in good fun.
When asked how he felt about working with Aishwarya during the promotional event, Amitabh Bachchan’s playful response took everyone by surprise. He said, “I did not enjoy working with Aishwarya.” He further explained that it was because she called him uncle in the film, a term he was not entirely fond of, especially coming from someone as beautiful as Aishwarya.
“It Wasn’t Fun Working with Aishwarya”
While Amitabh’s comment was made in a humorous tone, he also praised Aishwarya’s beauty and her acting skills during the same interaction. He confessed that playing the role of her uncle wasn’t exactly something he was thrilled about, especially considering her grace and charm at the time.
Amitabh’s witty remark became a talking point back then and remains a subject of discussion even today. The bond between Amitabh and Aishwarya has evolved over the years, especially after she became part of the Bachchan family through her marriage to Abhishek in 2007.
Still a Hot Topic
While the comment was made years ago in a joking context, it continues to make headlines. Fans and the media occasionally revisit this story, showing how much interest still exists around Amitabh Bachchan, Aishwarya Rai, and their professional relationship. This small instance from 20 years ago is yet another example of how legendary Amitabh Bachchan’s words and actions remain in public memory.
