Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan tied the knot on April 20, 2007. Hailed among Bollywood's IT couples, the two stepped into parenthood a few years later and welcomed their daughter, Aaradhya Bachchan, on November 16, 2011. Aishwarya and Abhishek are among the most good-looking couples in Bollywood and are extremely loved by their fans. But did you know that Karan Johar played cupid for the duo?
Karan Johar is one of Bollywood's most famous relationship cupids. His Koffee With Karan couch is popularly known as the 'manifestation couch,' where everyone's desires come true, but before it existed, the ace film director himself used to play cupid for couples.

However, Abhishek added that what mainly happens between them is not fights, but rather, they are more like healthy disagreements. Later, Abhishek revealed that he was the first one to make up after a fight. He also added that he and Aishwarya have a rule that they do not sleep on a fight.
An old interview of Aishwarya Rai surfaced online, in which she accepted that she and Abhishek Bachchan fight every day like all normal couples. It was during her appearance on a talk show with Anupama Chopra after her wedding when Aishwarya was asked by the host, “Abhishek said that the two of you feel like ‘a newly married old couple’, What does that mean.?” Replying to this, Aishwarya shared:
