After spending time with each other during the shooting of Umrao Jaan, Guru and Dhoom 2, the duo started developing feelings for each other. During the premiere of Guru, the handsome Abhishek proposed to Aishwarya, and she said yes.
Abhishek Bachchan chalked out a unique plan to propose to his ladylove, Aishwarya Rai. It so happened that back then, Abhishek was sitting on the balcony of his hotel room in New York when a whimsical thought of marrying Aishwarya on that very balcony crossed his mind. And having thought about it, he decided to propose to Aishwarya in that exact spot. In an interview with Oprah Winfrey right after their marriage, Abhishek shared the anecdote of proposing to Aishwarya for marriage and mentioned:
“I was filming in New York for a movie, and I used to stand on my balcony of my hotel room and wish that one day wouldn't it be nice if I was together with Aishwarya, married? So I took her to the very same balcony, and I asked her to marry me.”
