What is it like when Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai fight? The actor couple in a throwback interview has revealed that they have “disagreements” almost every day, which never turns into anything “serious”.

Abhishek and Aishwarya got married in 2007 and have a daughter, Aardhya. In an interview with Vogue India in 2016, the couple was asked how often they fight, to which Aishwarya replied, “Oh, every day.” Reacting to her statement, Abhishek added, “But they’re more like disagreements, not fights. They’re not serious, they’re healthy. It’d be really boring otherwise.”

Abhishek, who turned 48 on Monday, also revealed that between the two, it is he who makes up first. Abhishek said, “But we have a rule—we don’t sleep on a fight. And in defence of all men, I want to tell you, half the time the reason we give in and say sorry is because we’re just so sleepy and want to go to bed.

“Besides, women are the superior race, and they’re always right. The sooner men accept that, the better. It doesn’t matter what you say, even if you have concrete proof, in their world, it’s futile, it makes no sense.”

Aishwarya said for her, the ultimate marital advice is to keep “faith” and believe in it with heart, mind and soul. “The body will follow anyway. Be brutally frank with yourself. You are your own best friend.” Abhishek said marriage is everything one thinks it is going to be, and much more.

“Don’t believe the haters. People have joked about marriage for so long that it’s come to stick. But it’s great fun. Go for it. Just be 500 per cent sure of the person. Don’t do it if you have even an iota of doubt, if you’re not completely convinced,” he added. Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai will be celebrating 17 years of togetherness on April 20.

Should you soak rice before cooking? An expert answers

LifestyleUpdated: May 18, 2024 21:25 IST

Soaking rice in water before cooking can have beneficial effects on its glycemic index and overall nutritional profile, as it undergoes enzymatic breakdown which helps predigest the rice and increases the availability of vitamins and minerals. However, it is important to not soak for more than four hours and to rinse thoroughly before cooking.
