It is said that Vivek was chafing about the fact that she didn’t have the courage to face him and broke up with him through a text message. But Ash’s friends insist that she was divided between her loyalties for the two men in her life, and even though she was head over heels in love with Abhi, she didn’t want to hurt Viveik.
But all's well that ends well... And now the duo sure has a huge reason to smile!
Destiny brought them together again as they started acting in three films, simultaneously, ‘Umrao Jaan’, ‘Guru’ and ‘Dhoom 2’. It is said that during the making of ‘Guru’ that Abhishek finally dared to tell Ash about his feelings for her. Apparently, Ash reciprocated the feelings. However, she was still with Viveik and didn’t know how to break the news to him.
Ash broke off with Salman and started dating her co-star of ‘Kyun… Ho Gaya Na’, Viveik Oberoi. According to sources, Abhishek always had a crush on her but didn’t have the guts to mention it to her.
Rohan Sippy, now one of Abhishek’s closest friends, brought them together again for ‘Kuch Na Kaho’. According to sources, the two seemed attracted to each other, which apparently irked Ash’s then boyfriend, the hotheaded Salman. Sallubhai stormed the sets of the film and went about breaking everything that came his way. But the two obviously had not voiced their feelings for each other, and after the film bombed, they went their separate ways.
They got along fabulously well, and even if they were attracted to each other, they did a good job of hiding it, because they were seeing different people at that time. Ash was with Salman Khan and Abhi was with Karishma Kapoor.
Ash and Abhi first met on the sets of Raj Kanwar’s ‘Dhai Akshar Prem Ke’, six years ago.
If the chronology of events that conspired to bring Ash and Abhi together is to be tracked, it seems like the two were attracted to each other right from the day they met.
Here’s the run down an utterly romantic story full of surprises, action, betrayal and of course, a happy ending.
Bollywood bride Aishwarya Rai will live with her in-laws and adopt her husband’s family name, her movie icon father-in-law Amitabh Bachchan said in an interview published on Thursday.
The emerald-eyed former Miss World, who wed Bollywood heart-throb Abhishek Bachchan in a traditional Hindu ceremony last Friday, “will live with us,” he told the Times of India.
“This decision came voluntarily from both Abhishek and Aishwarya,” said Amitabh Bachchan, a prolific actor who has a vast international fan base from South Asia to the Middle East and Africa and is known simply as “the Big B”. 
Many Indian couples live with their in-laws after their marriage, although an increasing number are setting up home on their own.
Amitabh Bachchan said his new daughter-in-law “desires to use Bachchan as her surname” and had already signed her autograph using that name – the most famous in Bollywood.
The 33-year-old, who won the Miss World title in 1994, will continue her cinema career.
He said he and his wife, Jaya, “have insisted that Aishwarya must continue with her acting career. There is no problem or issue with us.” Amitabh Bachchan’s wife Jaya was a well-known actress who largely retired from cinema after getting married and there had been media speculation that Aishwarya might do the same.
Her marriage with Abhishek Bachchan, 32, has created Bollywood’s “ultimate power couple,

The Aishwarya Abhishek WeddingThe families are not talking but everything -- from Ash's mehendi to what she will wear to the guest list -- is being discussed all over our movie-made land.
After much partying, rituals and tradition, Abhishek Bachchan is finally getting ready to marry Aishwarya Rai at his father's home, Prateeksha. The road outside his home is filled with fans, media and onlookers, as one of the biggest weddings this year is about to start in a few minutes. Ash arrived with her mother Brinda at 2:10 pm, in a grey Mercedes car decorated wtih roses and white flowers.
The car pulled right into Prateeksha and a posse of security guards surrounding the vehicle so that the media could not get a glimpse of the bride. Ash's brother Aditya followed in another car, while the rest of her family arrived in a Volvo. Apparently, the bride has chosen a maroon Kangeevaram sari for her special day. The bungalow has been decorated in South Indian fashion, with orange and yellow marigold flowers, and banana leaves and fruits. Ash, for those who don't know, hails from the Bunt community.
The Ash-Abhishek wedding Amitabh Bachchan's close friend Amar Singh was among the first to arrive at Prateeksha. Other first arrivals were filmmakers J P Dutta (on the sets of whose film Umrao Jaan, Ash and Abhishek apparently fell in love) and Romesh Sharma (who directed Amitabh in Dil Jo Bhi Kahey), Shammi Kapoor and his wife, and Danny Denzongpa. Band players, in white uniforms and colourful turbans, played loudly, while traffic outside the bungalow virtually came to a standstill. Later, dancers, dressed in traditional Punjabi wear, joined them, and danced as the Bachchans arrived at Prateeksha.
Abhishek, in a gold-embroidered white sherwani, made his way on horseback for a portion of the distance from Jalsa to Prateeksha. Shweta's son Agastya sat astride with him, while Amitabh, Jaya and Shweta danced to film songs like Kajra re and Aaj Mere Yaar Ki Shaadi Hai. Later, the Bachchan family got into a Volvo, and travelled the rest of the distance to Prateeksha in that. The male members of the baraat like Sahara Group Chairman Subroto Roy, Ajay Devgan, A R Rahman, Ritiesh Deshmukh, Ram Gopal Varma, Sanjay Dutt and Abu Jaani wore orange turbans; while Anil Ambani wore a red one.
Tina Ambani, Dimple Kapadia, Sonali Bendre and Shweta's mother-in-law Ritu Nanda also arrived in one of the buses. Preity Zinta arrived with Ness Wadia. Kajol, who seems to be close to the Bachchan family, arrived in a mehndi-coloured sari with a blue shimming border. Ashutosh Gowarikar, who is presently directing Ash in the historical Jodha Akbar, arrived with his wife Sunita. Shiv Sena executive president Uddhav Thackeray arrived much later with his wife.
By the time the baraat had entered Prateeksha, the crowds went ballistic, and police were forced to raise their sticks to control the crowds. Ram Gopal Varma was one of the first guests to exit.
