The world’s most famous couple, Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan, appeared on the Oprah Winfrey show yesterday.

Indian actors, hailing from the Bollywood film industry, Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan are the most talked about couple in India, and indeed, the world. Their interview with Oprah aired yesterday on the “Meet the Most Famous People in the World” episode of the Oprah Winfrey Show.

Aishwarya Rai, who was crowned Miss World in 1994, went on to become one of Bollywood’s most coveted leading ladies, and has done over 40 films to date, including Pink Panther 2. Abhishek Bachchan is son of Bollywood’s beloved and legendary actors - Amitabh and Jaya Bachchan, and has himself achieved superstar status and starred in over 40 films so far.

Abhi and Ash (as they are referred to in India) have over 5 billion fans around the globe. That definitely makes them the world’s most famous couple! In their interview with Oprah, they discussed their relationship, being the most sought after couple in India, and their family values and customs.

It is the norm for Indian couples to live with the husband’s parents in their home, and Oprah didn’t fail to ask the famous couple about their living arrangements with Abhi’s parents.

"It's normal," Ash says. "It's absolutely natural to us. … I lived with my parents before we got married, so it's a natural thing." Abhi added that his grandparents also lived with them before they passed away.

What’s interesting to note are the cultural differences that exist in Indian films as opposed to films in other parts of the world.

"For example, boy meets girl, they fall in love, they want to express their love for each other. So in the West, they would kiss, and they're in love. In India, we have a song," Abhi says. "You have this intimate moment, and suddenly—snap, cut—you're in the mountains singing and dancing!" "It’s fun!" Aishwarya added.
