Shooting in Goa enjoying every bit of the sun and the sand, Abhishek Bachchan would have least expected that his joy would know no bounds. Apparently his wife, Aishwarya decided to pay him a surprise visit on her day off from her hectic schedule.
It is noted that she had been busy with back to back shoots for Mani Ratna’s Ravana and S Shankar’s Endhiran starring Rajnikanth. Her commitments with a brand she endorses also kept her busy while she wasn’t shooting and most of her time in the recent past was consumed by excessive travelling that she undertook to meet the requirements of the endorsements. All of this, put together was keeping her away from hubby and they couldn’t get to spend quality time with each other.
Abhishek who was busy shooting for Ashutosh Gowariker’s Khele Hum Jee Jaan Se was absolutely delighted to see Aishwarya. She was present on the sets the entire day and when the shoot got over, they headed for a cozy dinner and a nice time with each other. Junior Bachchan kept on running to her in between the shots and kept chatting with her though out the breaks. Even Ashutosh was on cloud nine to see her favorite actress at the sets and showed her around like a perfect guide and took her opinion.

Aishwarya Rai says she is fully convinced that actor-husband Abhishek Bachchan will make a good father in real life because he is so “real and rooted”.
“Everybody has been asking me if Abhishek will be a good pa (father) in connection with the release of our forthcoming production ‘Paa’. I think it’s silly for me to be even making the statement. It’s given – I married the man. So obviously I have the conviction in the husband he is or the father he will be,” Aishwarya, 36, told IANS in an interview here.
Asked about Abhishek’s qualities that would make him a good father, Aishwarya laughed and said: “He is very real, very rooted and very human – which I absolutely relate to. His values are evident for everybody to see. We have known each other for so many years.
“I’ve seen him with his niece and nephew since the time they were babies. He is so great with kids and I’ve seen that for the longest time with (his sister Shweta’s children) Navya (Naveli) and Agastya. I have no doubts on him whatsoever.”
Aishwarya, who will be seen with Abhishek in “Ravana”, was in the capital Monday to launch the Longines PrimaLuna, a new watch range inspired by the moon and galaxy.

It is no great surprise that Aishwarya Rai is recognized as the world’s one of the most beautiful woman. She is even acknowledged as an international star too.
This gorgeous lady has already been to Oprah’s show in 2007 but this year her husband Abhishek Bachchan accompanied her to the show since he too was invited. According to reports the couple had flown to the States last week to shoot for an episode on Oprah.
Aishwarya was her usual diplomatic self when she had come for the show in 2007. This time it remains to be seen which facet of her personality she will expose. Many big actors have opened their hearts out like Tom Cruise, Nicole Kidman etc on Oprah Winfrey’s show.
We wonder if we can see the ‘real’ Aishwarya on this show.

Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan’s intimate scene in Mani Ratnam’s ‘Raavan’ may be an added advantage of the film but the director chose to edit it as the issue is very sensitive and it may hurt the sentiment of the religious people. Mani is playing safe by dropping the love-making session of Ash who plays a married woman and Abhi a kidnapper.
‘Raavan’ is a modern day adaptation of the great ancient epic, ‘Ramayan’. Here’s showing Ash being kidnapped by Abhi and during their stay, Ash falls for Abhi. Confirming the news an insider said, “There was also a love-making scene between Ash and Abhishek in the script but Mani decided to do away with it after realising the sensitivity of the subject. Even though he may deny it, the fact remains that the film is a modern day adaptation of the epic, with the focus being on the Ravana-Sita chapter.”
The shooting of the film took place in high security as the director did not want any clippings to get leaked in the public.
