Bobby Deol, who is celebrating his 56th birthday on January 27, romanced Aishwarya Rai onscreen in ‘Aur Pyaar Ho Gaya‘ in 1997. However, did you know that Bobby also played a cupid for Aishwarya and Abhishek Bachchan?
Yes, you read that right! Bobby played a key role in Aishwarya meeting her future husband, Abhishek, for the first time. In 2021, Abhishek shared that while he was in Switzerland working on a recce for his father Amitabh Bachchan’s film, Bobby, who was shooting for Aur Pyar Ho Gaya, invited him for dinner. It was during that time that Abhishek met Aishwarya on set.
During the conversation, when Ranveer asked Abhishek if he had a crush on Aishwarya back then, Abhishek responded, saying, “Who doesn’t have a crush on her? I mean, come on.” It’s amusing to think that Aishwarya’s onscreen lover, Bobby, played a part in her real-life love story!
On the film front, Bobby Deol will next appear as Aurangzeb in the upcoming Telugu film Hari Hara Veera Mallu: Part 1 – Sword vs Spirit. He also has Housefull 5 and Alpha in the pipeline. Wishing him a very happy birthday and a successful year at the box office in 2025!
