Abhishek Bachchan Cancels Work For Wife Aishwarya Rai Bachchan

Bollywood actor Abhishek Bachchan, whose just released film Dhoom 3 is creating buzz at the box office, yesterday cancelled his work commitments due to personal reasons.

Abhishek was to meet industrialist Vijay Mallya at the launch of Kingfisher calendar in Mumbai and then attend a promotional event of Dhoom 3 but had to cancel his plans at the last minute due to the demise of a close relative of his wife Aishwarya. According to sources close to him, junior Bachchan rushed to be with wife Aishwarya after getting the news of the demise. The 37-year-old Bollywood star has reprised his role of Jai Dixit in Dhoom 3, which hit theatres Friday.

Apart from being a fabulous actor, Abhishek Bachchan is a very dutiful father and a loving husband too. Recently, when he was asked,if there is anything specific that he is keen to teach his daughter, he replied, "No yaar. Her mother is superb at it. There is no room for me to do anything. She is a supermom!''

Regrading Aishwarya making a comeback, Abhishek said, When Abhi was asked whether he misses seeing his wife on-screen and he says, ''I love her as an actress. I am a big fan of her work and obviously I would like to see her back on the screen. But she should be given the liberty to choose the kind of films she wants to choose. Her selection process has been all immaculate and I am sure she knows which is the right time and film for her to strike back.''

Recently, rumours about ad filmmaker Prahlad Kakkar approaching the couple for his film had been making rounds. When asked about the latest about the report, he clarifies, ''Prahlad is a very old friend of Aishwarya and he knows her since her advertising days. Prahlad has a script which he is keen that Aishwarya and I do it. We haven't heard it yet. As and when we hear it and if we like it then we will decide to do it. But we haven't heard the script so I can't say that yeah we are doing it.''
