Aishwarya Rai Talks About Her Surprise Roka To Abhishek Bachchan In Viral Video: 'My Dad Was...'

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is a global superstar, thanks to her masterful acting prowess, her stellar good looks and her charming personality. During her illustrious career in films, she has not only conquered India but the world. Aishwarya is not only a global superstar in her own right but also is married into one of the most famous film families today – the Bachhans. A video of the actress recalling her roka ceremony surfaced on Reddit and went viral in no time.

In the viral video, Aishwarya said, “There’s something called a roka. We’re South Indians, so I don’t know anything called a roka. Suddenly, there is this call from their (Abhishek’s) house to ours that ‘We are coming’. My dad was out of town and we were like, ‘Okay’. I was like, ‘Dad’, and he was like, ‘Yeah, it’ll still take me a day to come’.”

“Pa (Amitabh Bachchan) and everyone was like, ‘We are coming’, and Abhishek is like, ‘I can’t stop him. We’re on our way. We’re on our way this evening. We’re coming to your place.’ I was like, ‘Oh my god.’ So this roka is happening with a call to my father who’s out of town. Mum’s here, we are here. They’ve all arrived and are emotional and I’m like, ‘Oh my god, it’s happened.’ Then they’re like, ‘Come on, let’s go home’. I’m like, ‘What just happened here? Is this an engagement?’ Then they were like, ‘Just come home.’ Then I was sitting on our show’s set,” she added.

Aishwarya tied the knot with Abhishek on April 20, 2007. They also have a daughter named Aaradhya Bachchan. Abhishek and Aishwarya’s chemistry is appreciated by fans not only in films but also in their interviews and public appearances.
