J P Dutta’s magnum opus ‘Umrao Jaan’ stars Bollywood’s most sought-after pair – Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan. Rai, though, has been infamous for not being vocal about her relationships, and also for allegedly refraining from giving her partners their due - an accusation made very blatantly in the past.
And even now, when the buzz is indicating a blossoming romance with the junior ‘B’ – Aishwarya does not seem to have much to say, choosing to speak only of their on-screen chemistry together – which she credits the film’s director for – rather than the relationship they share.
“We've grown to be very good friends, and hence we have a wonderful camaraderie... we are very comfortable working with each other, and interestingly Mr J P Dutta is his mentor, as he says it's a constant homecoming when he's with him - he's family... and with me it was an honour to work with a director like him and such a subject,” she rambles.
On the other side, Abhishek Bachchan seems oblivious to the tactics that Ms Rai has been using very well during her past relationships. Cast opposite the gorgeous lady, he seems to be deriving immense pleasure in the idea of keeping it all a ‘private’ affair!
“She's a very close friend, she was one of my first co-stars and it's always a pleasure working with her, being a friend it's nice to hang out with her... I have always maintained that we actors are public figures and for God sake leave us our private lives, that's all we have,” remarks Abhishek
With things on both sides not very clear, the anticipating audience will for now have to be content with their on-screen romance.
