Director Rohan Sippy recalled his experience working with Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan on the 2003 film Kuch Naa Kaho. He shared that despite being an established superstar, Aishwarya was supportive and helped him as a relatively new director. Her willingness to listen and collaborate gave him confidence during the early stages of his career
Rohan mentioned that Abhishek Bachchan was still new to the industry, having recently debuted with Refugee and working on Bas Itna Sa Khwaab Hai. In contrast, Aishwarya was already a seasoned actor. Despite her experience, she remained humble and approachable, which made the working environment smooth for him
The filmmaker praised Aishwarya’s multifaceted talent, noting that she embodied the qualities of a quintessential Hindi film heroine. He emphasized that her beauty, dance, and acting skills set her apart, and subsequent generations have rarely matched her all-around excellence
Reflecting on the duo's professional rapport, Rohan appreciated Aishwarya’s grace and professionalism. He also highlighted the informal camaraderie he shared with Abhishek. The pair, who tied the knot in 2007, went on to collaborate on multiple films, including Guru, Raavan, and Dhoom 2
