There was a genuine reason why Abhishek Bachchan had to learn the dance steps of his wife Aishwarya Rai for the ‘Unforgettable’ tour.
Now, this is conjugal love at its peak. Imagine a husband learning what his wife was supposed to learn, but couldn’t because of illness. That’s what Abhishek did when Aishwarya got bedridden with German measles and couldn’t do the dance rehearsals with Shiamak Davar for the upcoming global tour featuring the Bachchans at the helm.
Since the disease was contagious, Ash kept herself confined to the house and stopped going for rehearsals with Davar. But since everyone was preparing dedicatedly, Ash couldn’t afford to lag behind.
That’s when Abhi came with an ingenious idea.
“I had to learn her steps also, not only at the rehearsal hall but at home too in order to teach her the dance steps Shiamak had given her for the songs she would be dancing to during the tour,” Abhishek told reporters at a gathering to promote the tour.
Everyday Abhishek would learn Ash’s steps from Davar, then come home and teach them to her. And so immersed was he in this exercise that he has by now perfected all of Ash’s dance moves.
Abhishek joked that he has told the show’s organizers (Wizcraft) that if Ash falls ill again, they should not worry.
“Because I have learnt all her steps and might as well double for her,” said Abhishek.
