In the same session, Abhishek also hailed Aishwarya and Shah Rukh’s chemistry. He further stated why he thought Aishwarya’s on-screen pair with Hrithik doesn’t do justice and had retorted:
“I have seen Duggu (Hrithik Roshan) and her together, and I think they make a wonderful pair. But unfortunately for both of them…what happens with somebody like Hrithik is that you find him so good-looking, you find it difficult to go past that. And when he is coupled with her, who is also the most sensational-looking person on Earth, it’s very difficult to go beyond the looks and actually look into the great work that they do. I think, with Shah Rukh, there was a raw energy which was very nice and interesting. But, I think, with Rajini uncle, it’s just fantastic. I loved Robot.”
During a 2018 event with filmmaker, Shoojit Sircar, Abhishek Bachchan had talked about pay parity and had shared how his wife, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan was paid more than him. Revealing that Aishwarya’s paycheck was higher than him in eight out of nine films they did together, Abhishek had said:
“There’s a huge debate on gender parity in the film business and in other industries. I’ve worked in nine films with my wife and in eight of those, she’s got paid more than I have.”
Who do you think is Aishwarya’s best on-screen pair? Let us know.
