Abhishek and Aishwarya become the first Bollywood couple to appear on the Oprah Winfrey show, thanks to Ash's international fame. We cannot wait for the telecast.
Abhishek Bachchan is happy basking in his wife’s limelight. Aishwarya Rai Bachchan has been invited to the Oprah Winfrey show. Since they are Siamese twins, hubby Abhishek Bachchan will also be present to make his international talk show debut.Though Aishwarya and Abhishek went unrecognized and were undisturbed at a US supermarket, they were in Chicago to shoot for an Oprah episode.
This is not the first time Aishwarya is appearing on an international show. She first appeared on Oprah’s show in February 2007 and on The Late Night Show with David Letterman earlier this year. She has also been a Cannes regular (as L’Oreal ambassador and for her international films like Bride and Prejudice, Provoked and Pink Panther) since 2004. Her films have also had international premieres. For instance, the entire Bachchan family was present at the Pink Panther premiere in the US.
When she was on the show in 2007, she gifted Oprah a simple chiffon sari and spoke about loving and living with one’s family. When asked why Hindi films didn’t have kissing scenes, Miss Rai replied that Indians liked leaving all that to the privacy of their bedrooms.
This year, Abhishek and Ash will talk about how they found each other, their parents (especially Paa), wedded bliss, working on films together, having children, the progress and perception of Indian cinema, what it means to be a Bachchan, etc.
As far as gifts are concerned, we suggest they should gift Oprah a heavy, embroidered saree, an Indian-style earring and necklace set and some classic Hindi DVDs.
We cannot wait to see Abhi-Ash coochie-cooing and Ash giggling on Oprah’s couch. The date of telecast is not known as yet.
