Braving storms, the duo is standing strong in their relationship, dismissing speculations about trouble in their marriage. On this special day, we want to take you back in time when both Abhishek and Aishwarya appeared as guests on Oprah Winfrey’s talk show in 2019. Speaking to her celebrity guests, Oprah threw a question at Aishwarya and Abhishek.
She asked them, “The both of you are living with your [Abhishek’s] parents? How does that work?" Upon hearing the same, Aishwarya nudged Abhishek to respond. The Dasvi actor, famous for his witty responses, immediately asked the same question to Oprah, “You live with your parents?" When Oprah said that she doesn’t, Abhishek retorted, “How does that work?" This left the host, Aishwarya and the audience roaring in laughter. And needless to say, it continues to remain one of the Abhishek’s key interview moments to date.
The host had also asked the couple why they don’t share an on-screen kiss. Abhishek noted that in Indian cinema, particularly during that era, intimacy was typically portrayed through song-and-dance sequences, which he personally found “more engaging." In a previous chat with GoodTimes, Dasvi actor Nimrat Kaur lauded her co-star Abhishek Bachchan’s sharp sense of humour.
She recalled his cheeky response to Oprah Winfrey, noting how the clip continues to trend even today. Abhishek replied with a smile, confirming that he remembers the moment rather well. He revealed, “It was a big deal for her.
Later on, Aishwarya told me that when she had gone on Oprah, Oprah had asked her the same thing...

But then, I realised, in America, woh 18 saal pe bahar nikal dete hain. Hum log sab biwi bachche..
. I like that. That whole joint family thing is nice (It was a big deal for her.
Later, Aishwarya told me that when she went on Oprah, Oprah had asked her the same thing...
We’re desi people, yaar. It’s our tradition. This is our culture.
But then I realized—in America, they send their kids out at 18. We, on the other hand, live with our wives, kids..
. I like that. That whole joint family setup is nice).
" In yet another throwback interview with David Letterman on Late Show, Aishwarya was asked about living with her parents. “It is fine to live with your parents because it is also common in India that we don’t have to make appointments with our parents for dinner," quipped Aishwarya, leaving the host and the audience awestruck with her wit..
