Once upon a time, during Ae Dil Hai Mushkil's promotions, Ranbir Kapoor's candid comment on Aishwarya Rai had many raised many eyebrows. Many said that his statements were disrespectful and embarrassing.

Karan Johar's Ae Dil Hai Mushkil featuring Ranbir Kapoor, Aishwarya Rai, Anushka Sharma and Fawad Khan was a blockbuster and was loved by the audience. The film grabbed the limelight because of the intimate scene between Ranbir Kapoor and Aishwarya Rai.

It was said and reported that, Bachchan family having objected their 'Bahu' Aishwarya filming passionate scenes with Ranbir.

And the rumour had it that Ranbir's tactless remark about sharing intimate scenes with Aishwarya in a radio interview had further left the Bachchan family upset.

In the radio interview, the Tamasha actor had said he was nervous and shy while shooting a steamy scene with Aishwarya, but then, she broke the ice and had said they were actors and need to perform as demanded.

"Sharam aati thi, mere haath shiver hote the. Kabhi kabhi main unke gaal ko touch karne mein jijhakta tha. (I would feel shy and my hands would shiver. I would hesitate to touch her cheeks) Phir unhone bola (then she told) 'Listen what's wrong with you? We're acting, do it properly.' Phir maine socha, kabhi aisa mauka milega nahi, so maine bhi mauke pe chauka maar diya. (I thought I'll never get this chance again, so I grabbed it)," he had said.

Ranbir's interview was tagged 'embarrassing' by one of the close friends Bachchan. A source close to the family has told Asian Age, "There are four very professional actors in the Bachchan family, and they know what professionalism is all about. There's absolutely no objection to whatever scenes contained in the film. But why is Ranbir making these embarrassing comments about hitting 'mauke pe chauka?'

Later, Ranbir Kapoor explained and clarified his stand that he respected Aishwarya. In an interview with PTI he said, "Aishwarya is such a superb actor and also a family friend. She's one of India's most talented and respected women. I will be forever grateful to her for her contribution to Ae Dil Hai Mushkil. I could not have disrespected her like that."
