Aishwarya Rai Bachchan & Abhishek Bachchan have been the ideal Bollywood Couple for a long time. The two Bollywood superstars have been married for 16 years, and stories and anecdotes about their love and how Abhishek has been besotted with Aishwarya. While Bachchan has shared stories of his personal life with Aishwarya, he also recently revealed that he thought she would never romance him in the initial phases of working together before they married.

Abhishek & Aishwarya are known for openly expressing their love for one another during media interactions; their chemistry, both on and off-screen, is greatly appreciated by fans. However, Abhishek once felt that Aishwarya might not want to romance him.

Acclaimed actor Pankaj Tripathi said that he never felt that he has “arrived” in the industry, and shared how he works with equal sincerity and honesty in every project.

Veteran Urdu poet Bashir Badr once shared a “secret”. He said: “I have one enemy — his name is Jagjit. Whatever is mine (poetry), people think it is his (when he sings it). That is why I never introduced him to my wife.”

It was an oblique tribute to Jagjit Singh, whose mellifluous voice imbued pure magic in whatever form of verse — classical to popular to religious to folk — he rendered.

In the course of his decades-long musical journey, Jagjit Singh, who was born on this day (February 8) in 1941, endeared himself to generations of music lovers in India and became Indian music’s best-known figure globally after Pandit Ravi Shankar.
