Zirak and his family had also attended Aishwarya’s birthday celebration in 2017 at the Bachchan residence. Aishwarya’s close-knit friend circle is her buddies from college.
When asked if any particular habit of her husband leads to arguments, Aishwarya said, “It has been 12 years and how many years before that we’ve known each other as friends.

On the same show, the actor spoke about how Abhishek proposed to her on the sets of Jodhaa Akbar. “Ashutosh (Gowariker) is like ‘you are engaged’ and I am like ‘yeah’. Meanwhile, Duggu (Hrithik Roshan) gave me an excited thumbs up. We’re doing Khwaja Mere Khwaja, sitting as a bride, and I am like, oh my god this is surreal, all happening on-screen, off-screen, this is bizarre,” she continued.
Later, they got married shortly after the engagement which was a private ceremony at the Bachchan residence in Mumbai. The duo has worked together in films such as Dhoom 2, Guru and Raavan. Now they have a daughter, Aaradhya.
