Dhoom 2 Actress Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, the stunning and ethereal beauty of Bollywood, is celebrating her 45th birthday today. She and her family, including husband Abhishek Bachchan and daughter Aaradhya Bachchan have took off for Goa for ringing in her birthday. On her birthday, let’s take some time out to recall her heart-melting love story with husband Abhishek Bachchan and how it culminated into a marriage. The couple, who met on the sets of Dhai Akshar Prem Ke, has been together ever since and now they are parents of one adorable daughter Aaradhya Bachchan. Despite being together for more than 10 years, Abhi-Aish likes to keep it low profile, indulging in very few PDAs on social media. That speaks volumes about the grounded and sorted person Aishwarya is in real life. On her special day, let’s have a look at the most special chapter of her life.
