20 Aug
Summary
- Jaipur Pink Panthers name links to Aishwarya Rai and daughter Aaradhya.
- Abhishek Bachchan's debut film 'Refugee' was shot in Jaipur.
- Abhishek and Aishwarya started dating in Jaipur.

Abhishek Bachchan, owner of the Jaipur Pink Panthers in the Pro Kabaddi League, shared the deeply personal reasons behind the team's name and location. Bachchan revealed that Jaipur holds significant emotional value, being the city where he filmed his debut movie, 'Refugee,' and where his relationship with Aishwarya Rai began.
The choice of 'pink' for the team's color was inspired by his daughter Aaradhya's favorite hue during that period. Furthermore, the 'Panther' element is a nod to Aishwarya Rai, with Bachchan noting the team's blue-green eyes mimic his wife's eye color. The couple, married since April 2007, first met on the sets of 'Dhai Akshar Prem Ke' in 2000, though their romance blossomed later.
Their professional collaborations include 'Kuch Naa Kaho,' 'Guru,' 'Sarkar Raj,' and 'Dhoom 2.' Abhishek Bachchan considers Aishwarya his soulmate, celebrating nineteen years of marriage and looking forward to their twentieth anniversary. He humorously attributes their successful marriage to nightly apologies to his wife.
Beyond their successful onscreen pairings, the couple is set to reunite for Anurag Kashyap's upcoming film 'Gulab Jamun.' Their enduring partnership continues to be a source of inspiration for fans.
