Aishwarya Rai gets real about relationship with Abhishek Bachchan amid split woes

Aishwarya Rai opened up about handling challenges in her relationship with Abhishek Bachchan in a resurfaced clip.

The actress, who is widely known for being crowned as Miss World 1994, previously reflected on her equation with estranged husband.

In an exclusive interview with Filmfare, the Ponniyin Selvan actor reflected on her romantic equation with Abhishek, offering an insight into how they handle challenges in their relationship.

She told the outlet at the time, “There’s a lot of adjustment, a lot of give and take. There will be agreements and disagreements. But it’s important to keep the communication going. That’s something I’ve always believed in.”

Heaping on praises for the Dhoom actor, Aishwarya gave Abhishek credit for reading in between the lines as she went on to add, “Abhishek has been wonderful to respect that. Communication is extremely important in a relationship. Doesn’t it all start with friendship? What’s friendship all about? I’m not one of those who say, ‘Okay shut it for today and don’t take it to tomorrow.’”

“If it needs to go to tomorrow, then it’ll go to tomorrow. And if you can shut the chapter today, great! But neither fit into a rule book. There’s no finality in looking at each day. You have to be open-minded about how you share your time together. It also means respecting and being sensitive to your partner.”

The couple, who tied the knot in 2007, sparked divorce speculation after they were spotted attending Ambani's wedding festivities separately.
