One of the most renowned film families in Bollywood has been The Bachchans. Here’s a look back at the lavish “godbharai” event the family organised for Aishwarya Rai Bachchan!

Bollywood is filled with prestigious families which have a reputation for producing some of the most renowned actors for the Hindi film industry. The famous poet Harivansh Rai Bachchan built the cornerstone for the Bachchan family. As the age advances, excellent performers like Amitabh Bachchan, Jaya Bachchan, Abhishek Bachchan, and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan are lined up to enhance the family’s reputation.

The family’s grandeur may be seen in the opulent ways in which they commemorate major occasions, in addition to the love and harmony. As an instance, consider the elaborate godbharai ceremony the Bachchans organised for their then-expecting daughter-in-law, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan.

Aishwarya and Abhishek’s love story

Let’s explore the endearing romance between Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan. On the sets of their debut movie together, Dhai Akshar Prem Ka, the duo got to know one another for the first time. However, they first only became close friends before making any further move. Following that, the couple reunited several times and appeared opposite one another in different movies. However, the foundation of their love story was established by the 2006 movie Umraao Jaan.
