An
onscreen kiss has sent Bollywood’s hottest romance
tumbling into rough weather. The year-long Abhishek
Bachchan-Aishwarya Rai relationship recently hit
turbulence when the Bachchans were invited to Yashraj
Studio for an exclusive preview of Dhoom2. |

Aishwarya
too had flown down from Jaipur where she is shooting for
Ashutosh Gowarikar’s Akbar-Jodha with Hrithik. |
|
|
| Aishwarya's
liplock with Hrithik in the film didn't go down
well with the Bachchans the entire family of
actors was not appreciative of Ash’s acting
prowess in the said scene. Until now Aishwarya,
despite offers from Hollywood, had steadfastly
maintained a no-kissing policy. |
|
|
| A
close family friend confirms that though he was
aware there were some passionate scenes between
Hrithik and Ash, Abhishek was "very, very
upset" on seeing the finished product. The
full impact hit him only when he saw it on screen,
says the friend, and he made his objection clear
to Aishwarya.

Over
the week, instead of celebrating the release of yet
another film featuring them together, Aishwarya and
Abhishek have been confronting uncomfortable questions
that the kiss has thrown up in their relationship.
Sources said her skimpy costumes too have not gone down
well with the first family of Bollywood. "They are
wondering where was the need for Aishwarya to change her
demure image at this stage and agree to a full-blown
kiss on film," said the friend.

While
Ash is maintaining a studied silence on the
controversy, she reportedly attended the birthday
party of the children of Abhishek’s sister,
Shveta Nanda at her residence in Delhi, and was
said to have behaved as if nothing was amiss. When
asked about the kissing scene, Ash’s co-star and
Abhishek’s childhood buddy Hrithik simply
laughed it off "I’m not saying this for
effect but Abhishek really inspires me. He has the
potential to be one of our greatest actors. I know
he keeps saying that I inspire him. But I really
look up to him. In fact, we’ve made a pact.
Abhishek and I will do one film together every two
years. You’ve no idea how much fun Abhishek,
Uday and I had during the making of Dhoom. There
was never any one-upmanship between Abhishek and
me. We were constantly giving each other inputs to
better our scenes together," says Hrithik
Roshan about his co-star.
and refused to comment on the kiss scene.Obviously,
Abhishek fails to find the humour in it. |

Meanwhile,
brushing aside the rumours that their
relationship was on the rocks, Aishwarya Rai
accompanied the Bachchan family to this holy
city on Sunday night.
They
are likely to offer Mangla Arti at Kashi
Vishwanath temple in Varanasi on Monday morning. |
|
|
|
|
Soon after the arrival, the Bachchan family,
accompanied by Aishwarya, went straight to the
Kashi Vishwanath temple to offer prayer.
They
will visit the temple again around 3 am on
Monday to perform 'mangla arti'. |
