Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is one of the most popular faces in Bollywood and is still ruling hearts. But her heart was taken by none other than the tall and handsome Abhishek Bachchan. The two got married in 2007 and have a beautiful daughter named Aaradhya. In an interview, Abhishek Bachchan had revealed that he first met Airshwarya when he was a production boy.

Recalling his love story with Aishwarya Rai and how they met in Switzerland for the very first time, Abhishek Bachchan said, “I first met her when I was a production boy. There was a film my father was making called Mrityudata, and I had gone for the location recce to Switzerland because the company felt that because I had grown up in Switzerland in boarding school that I would be able to take them to nice locations.”

He continued, “I had been there for a couple of days, all alone. And that’s when a childhood friend of mine, Bobby Deol, was shooting for his first film — Aur Pyar Ho Gaya. And he got to know I was there and said ‘Hey, why don’t you come over for dinner?’ And that’s the first time when they were shooting when I met Aishwarya.”

Abhishek said that the second movie he shot for, called Dhai Akshar Prem Ke, starred Aishwarya and that they worked together several times and had developed a good friendship before deciding to get married. Asked if he ‘crushed on’ her during this time, Abhishek said, “Who doesn’t crush on her? I mean, come on, come on.”
