Abhishek Bachchan's linkup rumours with Nimrat Kaur have garnered a lot of attention. Let us look at the women Abhishek dated apart from Aishwarya Rai.
Tagged as one of the power couples of Bollywood, Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan’s marriage reports ruled the headlines for many months back in 2007. It was on the sets of Dhoom 2 and Umrao Jaan that sparks started to flow between Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai. While shooting for Guru, Abhishek decided to propose to Aishwarya.
However, not many people know that Abhishek Bachchan was smitten by Aishwarya Rai way before. He met the former Miss World for the first time in Switzerland, where he went for the recce of a film. Aishwarya, on the other hand, was shooting for her film, Aur Pyar Ho Gaya, opposite Bobby Deol. It was through Abhishek’s best friend that he met Aishwarya for the first time and was completely mesmerised by her beauty.
Years later, Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai began their forever journey after tying the knot in 2007. The couple hopped on to parenthood in 2011, welcomed a baby girl, and named her Aaradhya Bachchan. However, for the past few months, there have been constant murmurs about Abhishek and Aishwarya’s separation.
The actor was even linked to his Dasvi co-actress, Nimrat Kaur. Before tying the knot with Aishwarya Rai, Abhishek Bachchan was linked to many actresses. Let us look at the women Abhishek fell in love with apart from Aishwarya.
Model turned actress, Dipannita Sharma couldn’t make it big in the industry, but the reports of her affair with Abhishek Bachchan garnered a lot of limelight. Actress, Sonali Bendre reportedly introduced Dipannita to Abhishek Bachchan. She was impressed by his chivalry, and he was floored by her simplicity.
The duo reportedly dated for ten months but later parted ways. It was reported that Abhishek didn’t want his relationship with Dipannita to come into the limelight since his career wasn’t flourishing. Though he never addressed his affair with Dipannita, she, in an interview with The Times of India, shared:
“Abhishek was never a friend. The time that has gone by holds absolutely no importance in my life. It's zilch, nothing. Neither do I want to give a clarification nor a confirmation relating to Abhishek.”
Abhishek Bachchan and Karisma Kapoor were once the most loved celebrity couple in Bollywood. They met at his sister, Shweta Bachchan’s wedding, and soon, sparks flew between them. The couple dated for five years and managed to keep it under wraps. In 2002, Jaya Bachchan announced the news of Abhishek Bachchan and Karisma Kapoor’s engagement.
While everyone waited with bated breath for Abhishek and Karisma’s wedding, an announcement from both families about the engagement being called off shocked everyone. To this day, nobody knows why Karisma and Abhishek’s engagement broke. It was reported that Babita asked for a prenup in which Amitabh would transfer some of his wealth into Abhishek’s name to secure her daughter’s future.
Rani Mukerji and Abhishek Bachchan were cast together in 2001 for the film, Bas Itna Sa Khwaab Hai. The duo delivered some of the most memorable hits, like Bunty Aur Babli, Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna, and Yuva. Their on-screen chemistry paved the way for their off-screen romance. Not only this, but Rani shared a great rapport with the Bachchans.
While everyone was certain that Rani Mukerji would become the Bachchan clan’s bahu, Abhishek’s engagement to Aishwarya Rai shocked everyone. It not only put an end to all the speculations but also left Rani and Abhishek’s fans heartbroken. Despite being so close to the Bachchans, Rani was not even invited to Abhishek and Aishwarya’s wedding. Though Rani took the breakup bravely, she was very hurt for not getting invited to the wedding.
Amid the rumours of Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai’s separation, reports of his alleged extramarital affair with his Dasvi co-star, Nimrat Kaur, are dominating the headlines. For the unversed, several media houses claimed that Abhishek Bachchan allegedly cheated on Aishwarya Rai with Nimrat.
Amid the rumours, an interview with Abhishek and Nimrat made its way to social media as the duo promoted their film, Dasvi. During an interview with Faridoon Shahryar, Nimrat and Abhishek spoke about marriages. When the interviewer praised Abhishek for having been with Aishwarya for 15 years. All of a sudden, Nimrat looked at Abhishek and commented, ‘Marriage don’t last that long’, to which Abhishek playfully responded with ‘Thanks’.
Though Nimrat made the remark on a lighter note, the internet was divided by her bold comment. Meanwhile, India.Com recently reported that Nimrat Kaur, in a recent interview, reacted to the buzz around her and said:
“I could do anything and people would still say what they want. There’s no stopping such gossip, and I prefer focusing on my work.”
Abhishek Bachchan has never addressed rumours about his personal life and has maintained his calm. Despite the constant talks about his separation rumours from Aishwarya Rai and gossip about his linkups, the actor is focused on his work.
