The Aishwarya Rai Bachchan & Amitabh Bachchan partnership

Between 2000 and 2008, they barely worked apart — 5 films in 8 years. From Mohabbatein (2000) to Sarkar Raj (2008). It started with Mohabbatein (2000).

The shape of the work

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan acted in every film; Amitabh Bachchan acted in all of them. Strictly Hindi cinema — they never crossed industries together.

Partnership facts

  • Aishwarya was cast in Mohabbatein (2000) only after Amitabh personally approved her screen test. He later admitted he was initially skeptical about casting a beauty queen opposite his son, but her audition changed his mind.
  • In Khakee (2004), Amitabh deliberately slowed down his dialogue delivery in their scenes together. He told the director that Aishwarya's natural rhythm was more measured, so he matched her pace to make their confrontation feel real, not rushed.
  • During the shoot of Kyun...! Ho Gaya Na (2004), Amitabh would quietly slip Aishwarya notes with acting tips written in Marathi — a language she didn't speak. She'd have to get them translated, which became a running joke on set.
  • Sarkar Raj (2008) was the only film where Amitabh and Aishwarya played characters who were not just related by marriage but also shared a political alliance. That film directly inspired the 2012 Tamil remake 'Sarkar' — though that one swapped the gender dynamics entirely.
  • Amitabh once said about Aishwarya: 'She has this ability to make you feel like you're the only person in the room. Even when the camera is on her, she makes sure you're present.' He said this during a 2008 press conference for Sarkar Raj.
