Aishwarya Rai

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, one of Bollywood's most iconic actresses, once shared that she would never lose herself to marriage and family life. This revelation resurfaced amidst ongoing rumors of a potential divorce between her and Abhishek Bachchan.

The couple, who have been married since 2007, are currently the subject of much speculation, leaving fans concerned about the state of their relationship.

Aishwarya, known for her outstanding performances, most recently impressed audiences with her role as Nandini in Mani Ratnam's Ponniyin Selvan.

Her love story with Abhishek began on the sets of Guru, and their relationship quickly blossomed into a marriage. Together, they are the proud parents of a 13-year-old daughter, Aaradhya Bachchan.

After her marriage, Aishwarya continued to work in films but took a brief hiatus following the birth of Aaradhya.

Despite her break from the silver screen, she remained an involved and dedicated mother, often seen at events and award functions with her daughter by her side. Aishwarya's commitment to both her career and family has always been evident.

In a throwback to an international conference, Aishwarya was asked whether her family life would overshadow her career. The actress, who had recently married at the time, responded with confidence.

She expressed excitement about the prospect of having children and embracing her new role as a wife, but firmly stated that she would not lose herself to domestic life. Aishwarya made it clear that she intended to maintain her identity and passion for acting, even as she enjoyed the joys of marriage and motherhood.

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan stated, ““I am looking forward to babies, I am enjoying marriage, there is no question of losing oneself to it."

Aishwarya’s bold performance in Ae Dil Hai Mushkil, particularly her on-screen chemistry with Ranbir Kapoor, garnered significant attention.

Abhishek Bachchan has often praised Aishwarya for her dedication to their daughter and acknowledged that her career took a temporary backseat when she became a mother.

However, he also emphasized that Aishwarya continues to enjoy her work, and expressed a desire to collaborate with her on a film if the right script comes along.

Despite the challenges, Aishwarya remains a devoted mother and a celebrated actress, balancing both aspects of her life with grace.
