this is the first time they have ever
sat down together for a television
interview
all the way from mumbai india welcome
ashwari arai
bachan and abby sheikh bachchan
welcome back good to see you again
nice to meet you so nice to meet you
well what a pleasure what a pleasure to
have you two together you've never done
this before
no never done this before sat down
together
we sit together quite often sat down
together for an interview
on national television so tell me how
did you pop the question to the most
beautiful woman in the world
um i was filming in new york for a movie
and um i used to stand on
my balcony of my hotel room and wish
that one day
you know wouldn't it be nice if i was
together with her
married so i took her to the very same
balcony and i asked her to marry me
does the wedding go on for like a week
or so indian weddings are
elaborate yes yes uh we're very as a
culture we um
like to celebrate everything yeah very
very very festive absolutely yeah you
know
absolutely we got some interesting
audiences right there
all right so yeah our weddings go on for
sometimes weeks ten days
where we have functions every evening
and in the day yeah yeah and when does
the actual ceremony is at
the ceremony at the end at the end or
the beginning at the end of these days
of celebration yeah you then
say the vows oh yes we uh there's
the ceremonial fire which we walk around
seven times
uh traditionally that's what it is
there'll be the priest chanting seven
um the prayers seven rounds are the the
vows that you take
wow so yeah at the end of it all that's
what we do oh well
seven rounds it's hard to get divorced
after that
[Laughter]
we don't even try to try and entertain
the thought okay so now
you're living with the both of you are
living with your parents
yes and how does that work
go on say it you live with your family
no
how does that work
[Applause]
absolutely natural to us it's just that
culturally
we're a different culture where we're
trying to get the parents out of the
house
i think yeah really and i and i think
that in many parts of the world like you
know i
go to africa a lot that is not normal
it's normal to bring the parents
in to have respect for the elders until
my grandparents passed away we still
live together as well
really so my father lived with his
parents uh-huh i lived with my parents i
lived in my parents before we got
married so
it's actually a very normal and it's
very nice yeah and it's nice
it's very nice okay does that mean every
when you say you live with your parents
does that mean
you actually are having dinner together
every night
you are like it's not like they're on
one end and you're another
absolutely no we live under the same
roof and um
one of the rules in the house said by by
mom is if we're all in the city we have
to have one meal a day together together
a meal together every day which is great
well ash posed for the cover of vogue
india they call her the most beautiful
woman in the world she's known by that
throughout the world so what's it like
being married to the most beautiful
woman in the world oh it's something
pleasant on the eyes
it's beautiful it's really nice yeah
yeah yeah nice to wake up too you can
see why it's exactly the same
everything funny so yeah it's true you
wake up in the morning like really even
in the morning
[Applause]
that's great now
i heard you've never been kissed on
camera
go on baby
[Applause]
so in bollywood films it's not like a
lot of
you know that you wouldn't see a lot of
sexual
not a lot of it happens as openly as say
in the west yes
it's not a thing about being accepted or
not it's just not required
i don't think the indian audience feels
it's required um
to put it this way i think if we make up
a scene for example yeah
boy meets girls they fall in love they
want to express their love for each
other so
in the west they'll kiss and they're
they're in love in india we break to a
song
isn't that more interesting so much fun
yeah you know you have this intimate
moment and then suddenly snap cut you're
in the mountains and you're singing and
dancing
it's a lot more interesting but a lot
more interesting i'd much rather that
rather sing yeah okay so what do you all
do on a day off what would you do
we fly to chicago and come on oprah
very good but do you like uh
play sports you play would you be like
on a wednesday night playing scrabble
would you
you know you don't get much time off
oprah you don't get much no because in
india the working style is different
um whereas in the west i think the the
actors pretty much do a film a year yeah
or once every two years
yeah we do about five to six films in a
year
a lot of the time those films are almost
shooting simultaneously
she's working on four films i'm working
on four films we're working on a film
together as well
so there isn't a lot of spare time but
when you do have spare time it's just
normal time we just love to hang at home
really spend time with each other with
family with friends
okay so when you all decide to have
children is that's going to be an
international event
i really hope not yeah no really i hope
not for sure
international event do you feel the
pressure of that already
well i have been proclaimed pregnant
already a couple of times so i'm like oh
okay is that a hint because because a
couple of times as soon as we got
married it's like of course
you're watching every little bulge and
i'm like oh my god
you know if you're not in shape you're
pregnant yeah so there was a lot of that
happening
well this this this label that the world
has given to you
uh deservedly so looking into your eyes
most beautiful women in the world
does is that pressure because if you
wake up with a zit or
there's a rash on your skin i have
been to several public events with zits
or whatever i mean it's normal
it does happen i'm sure people zoom in
and then circle it
in the paper yeah of course he's never
seen a zet but i'm just wondering is
there pressure
do you have to is there some is there a
special routine that you use for your
skin
absolutely not i just think this is all
um it's polite it's sweet thank you for
the compliments but you don't quite
sit believing it and taking it that
seriously i'm
human just normal and you have your days
when you know things would be great days
when things
are not looking that great but side
you've never
like looked in the mirror and said damn
i have
crossed my heart i have no i mean like
damn i
yeah i am really pretty oh no okay
but i've got like damn that doesn't work
but i gotta get back on the road
so that does happen yeah but no really
gorgeous have you ever seen eyes like
this
obviously you haven't either no
yeah he's he's bright yeah
