Amitabh Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai have shared the screen in several films such as Mohabbatein and Khakee long before she became his daughter-in-law after marrying Abhishek Bachchan. A particularly unsettling incident occurred during the filming of Khakee where Aishwarya was injured in a serious accident. A stuntman driving too fast lost control of the vehicle and crashed into the chair she was sitting on. In an old interview Amitabh Bachchan recalled how witnessing the accident deeply disturbed him leaving him unable to sleep for two nights. He expressed his concern and frustration with how the media downplayed the seriousness of the incident calling it trivial during a conversation with Rediff. We were shooting for Rajkumar Santoshis Khakee on the road outside Nashik. The stuntman drove too fast at 60 70 kilometres per hour and skidded. All of us jumped out of the way. But Aishwarya and Tusshar Kapoor couldnt move fast enough. The car slammed into her chair. It was terrifying. Big B spoke about the gravity of the situation and expressed his concern for Aishwarya’s well-being. He recalled the serious consequences of the accident and said I asked Aishwarya’s mother if she wanted to take her daughter back to Mumbai. We organised Anil Ambani’s private plane. Since there is no night landing facility in Nashik we had to take permission from Delhi to land the plane at the military base which is 45 minutes away from the hospital. The seats had to be removed from the aircraft. And everyone is brushing it off as a small incident blown out of proportion. The car hit her and took her down a crevice and slammed into a cactus plant. Akshay Kumar pulled the car out and extricated her. We rushed her to hospital. We had to go through terrible crowd management problems. I have gone through this VIP syndrome before. Thank God the hospital and doctor were very good. The commissioner of police in Nashik organised everything he continued. For two nights I couldn’t sleep. To see this happen in front of my eyes! Her back was lacerated with cactus thorns. The bone in the rear portion of her feet is broken. She suffered severe cuts. And her injury was reported as trivial. Khakee was both a commercial and critical success standing out for its engaging storyline strong performances and gripping action sequences. Meanwhile amid the persistent rumors about Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchans divorce Amitabh Bachchan took to social media with a cryptic message from the sets of Kaun Banega Crorepati (KBC) 16. In his post the legendary actor subtly addressed the gossip urging trolls to shut up if they had nothing new or meaningful to contribute to the conversation. His post was seen as a defense against the ongoing speculation surrounding his son and daughter-in-laws marriage.
