In 2000, Abhishek starred in a movie together with Miss World 1994, Aishwarya Rai, for the first time. At that moment they both weren’t single, and despite a spark between them, the affair didn’t not happen.

However, a few years later, a couple became closer due to several films. January 14, 2007, in the evening after the premiere of their film “Guru: Path to Success” in New York, Abhishek made Aishwarya a marriage proposal.
