Aishwarya Rai Bachchan has always been known to strike up a very special bond with all her directors’ wives. During Umrao Jaan, she got along famously with Mrs Bindiya J P Dutta. She bonded with similar warmth with Mrs Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra during delhi-6, although only her husband starred in it, and with Mrs Ashutosh Gowariker during Jodhaa-Akbar.
The latest person she’s gotten close to is none other than Suhasini Mani Ratnam. Says Aishwarya, “Both Abhishek and I are very close to Mani and Suhasini. When we got married, Mani started calling me kanna. I would address Mani as Mani sir and his wife as Suhasini ma’am. But somewhere, as time passed, the walls dissolved. Today, our rapport is not about, what’s our next film, it’s about, what’s the next stage in our bonding?”

Remember the ‘Aunty Ji’ controversy where Sonam Kapoor had started referring to Aishwarya Bachchan as Aunty because she had starred opposite her father Anil Kapoor. Sonam has no backtracked and claims she never said anything of that kind. In a recent interview she said that a lot has been said and written about the issue and it has become very messy and dirty and she wouldn’t want to comment about the issue any more.
Sonam who has starred with Abhishek Bachchan in Delhi 6 said that she really respected Abhishek as a and has her best experiences working with him. She added that that she would always Aishwarya n a respectful manner and never call her an ‘Aunty.’ The controversy had taken an ugly turn when Aishwarya had made sure that Sonam misses the red carpet during the Cannes Film Festival as the face of L’Oreal in India.
