Speaking to Vogue, Aishwarya said about the moment, “It was on the flight to our honeymoon in Bora Bora. The stewardess welcomed me on-board saying, ‘Welcome, Mrs Bachchan.’ And Abhishek and I just looked at each other and burst out laughing! And it hit me, I’m married! I’m Mrs Bachchan!”

Abhishek and Aishwarya make up one of Bollywood’s most loved couples. In another interview to the publication, Abhishek had said about his wife, “As a man, nothing gives me more pleasure than, well, my wife.

No, seriously, as a man, nothing gives me more pleasure than putting my wife in front of me and seeing her be celebrated. Whether she receives the Padma Shri or goes to Cannes, the most amazing thing I can do is be supportive. Anyone who says it isn’t the manly thing to do—that’s bull**it. That’s really regressive.”
