In one of her earlier interviews to Mumbai Mirror, Aishwarya had said, "Why are you speculating about my marriage? I believe in the institution of marriage. I am a woman and I will get married. I won't hide it from anyone. I am waiting for the right man to enter my life." And the most beautiful girl in the world has kept her promise. The groom's father Amitabh Bachchan officially announced the engagement of Abhishek and Aishwarya Rai yesterday at Jalsa, their Juhu bungalow.

However, this was not love at first sight. Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai's relationship evolved over a span of time, with the couple officially dating for a year. A source recalls, "It was in November 2005 that Aishwarya was upset about splitting with her then boyfriend Vivek Oberoi. That was the time when Abhishek Bachchan stood beside her and they started confiding in each other. Yet, they decided not to come into the open with their relationship. Although Ash's boyfriends in the past, (Salman and Vivek) have been vocal about their relationship with Ash, Abhishek played the role of a dignified boyfriend. Ash felt she could depend on him and needless to say that they bonded well." Ash also appreciated the fact that Abhishek respected her feelings. "Unlike Salman or Vivek, Abhishek never spoke to the press about dating Ash. He treated her with respect and was never erratic. He truly had a gentlemanly attitude," says our source.

Years ago, when Aishwarya and Abhishek made their first on screen debut in 2000 with Dhai Akshar Prem Ke Aishwarya had never imagined that she was acting with her future fianc. Ash's relationship with Abhishek came to limelight when Amitabh's brother Ajitabh revealed to the media in February 2006 that he had gone to Bangalore-based astrologer Chandrashekhar Swamy with the horoscopes of Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan.

The rumour became stronger when the Rais and Bachchans started visiting temples and dargahs together on a regular basis. "They were advised by the family astrologer to visit all the temples before making an announcement. The Bachchans had accepted Ash as a part of their family," says a close friend of Abhishek.

Last year on Abhishek's birthday, he had gifted Ash a solitaire but asked her not to speak about it to anyone. Ash an extremely private person herself, didn't reveal this even to her close friends. "Ash was shooting with Abhishek in Jaipiur for Umrao Jaan. Later they were together in Rio for Dhoom 2, though she was opposite Hrithik Roshan, and they then they had long schedules in Chennai for Mani Ratnam's Guru. Practically for a whole year they were travelling with each other. Even when they were in India, they were inseparable," says an actor close to the couple.

When Ash visited the Vishwanath temple at Varanasi with the Bachchans, it was evident that they would get married. When we contacted Ash's secretary Hari Singh he says, "I have received 10,000 SMSes and nearly 600 calls from all over India and abroad in last 24 hours. But we are overjoyed with all the good wishes we have received."

Salman and Ash made their relationship obvious, even she was outspoken about her relationship. With Vivek, she never admitted they dated, always that they were good friends. I admit Vivek's attitude changed when he started dating Ash, but I only saw him once admit that there were a couple, that was on Koffee with Karan. I didn't really see a problem in that, as everyone already knew, and they were dating for three years!

I honestly don't see the problem in just admitting you're a couple, it is not like anyone is prying into your personal life demanding to know everything.

I agree with you
It was stupid of them to "hide" everything, when in reality the media and everone already knew about their affair
but I was just wondering why Ash broke up with Vivek??
does anyone know??

thanks for sharig... 😊

i agree that abhishek is very respectful, but wat doz not admitting ur in a relationship have to do wid having a lot of respect for that person.... 😕 and if u r in a relationship then wat will happen if u do reveal it to everyone? there is no harm in it... i mean if we luk at john and bipasha they always say it publicly that they r together for sure, nothing of disrespect goes on between them, then y this wid ash's relationships?

i am not sure of wat went on wid ash and salman, but i can say for sure that vivek did have immense respect for ash, i mean just cuz he admitted that he was in a relationship wid her doz not create anything negative, if ash really did lyk vivek and was wid him for almost three yrs, then y didnt ash admit that she was in a relationship wid vivek, wasnt that disrespectful to vivek? i mean being togther for three yrs is more than just plain friendship! 😕 ..... ash left vivek, it was not vivek who left her, watever it was, i dont think that vivek cud be that insensible enough to admit he was in love wid ash for no reason, i dont think he wud have said that if it was only "friendship"... but ash was the one who seemed to be at fault wid this issue, thats just my opinion...

it was just weird for ash and abhi to hide their relationship for all this time, one cudnt even tell if they were friends or wat? and in my opinion if abhishek hid their relationship i dont find it has having immense respect towards ash, or a way to degrade her past realionships wid salman and vivek.

lol...I agree with all of u!!.. 😆 ... So if somebody goes upto the media about their relationship then she will turn her back on them.....Is tht wot it says on the article?.... And ash met vivek after dhai akshar prem ke not before....ANyways i am happy tht salman and vivek didn't marry her..coz they deserve someone who is not afraid of the media and who loves them through gud and bad times

I think your right to some extent. Salman left Somy who he was dating for many years for Aish. He was reported to not respect many of the women he was with. It was also shown to not respect Aish and did many things that were inappropriate. He himself admitted that he is somewhat of a male chauvinist. Vivek, also dumped his fiance for Aish. He may have respected her but he would say things like we may get married etc which I believe can be disrespectful if it has not been discussed before hand.

People must remember that the Indian culture has still not progressed in some areas. If a girl dates some guys before marriage and it is made public before the whole world , it can be the kiss of death if it does not work out. Look at how people talk of Aish. Do they talk about Salman badly? He has dated Sangeeta, Somy , Aish and now Katrina and who knows who else. Do people care?

Abhishek has always mantained a stoic silence about his relationships until he has proposed to them. He himself states that it is disrespectful to talk about them until things are truly commited. kissing and telling is not his style.

I think this is very respectful of him in the context of the Indian environment. Until the perception of women changes , it is hard to really full expose a relationship until it is shown to be truly commited. John and Bips and Kareena and Shahid look truly commited. So it looks ok.

But, what if your just dating and trying to figure out of this is truly your life partner? I don't know ,...... this is what I think
