Hello Bollywood buffs! It’s your favorite masala queen, Khabree Kiran, back with another juicy scoop straight from the heart of B-town! This time, we’re traveling back to a memorable moment involving our desi diva Aishwarya Rai and Hollywood’s Wolverine himself, Hugh Jackman. Buckle up, dosto, because this one’s a roller coaster of charm, wit, and a sprinkle of Bollywood magic.
Hugh Jackman’s India Diaries: When Wolverine Met Our Queen!
So, picture this: The year is 2011. Hugh Jackman, the man who made claws cool, graces India with his presence alongside his then-wife, Deborra-Lee Furness. They were here for the FICCI Frames event, where Hugh was being honored for his contributions to cinema. And guess who presented him with the award? None other than our very own Aishwarya Rai Bachchan! 🎉
Now, Hugh being the charmer he is, accepted the award with a dil se thanks and a cheeky comment that left everyone in splits. He said, "Thank you, Aish. I was told I would be introduced by the most beautiful actress in the world, and I thought it was going to be my wife. And I say that because I am a very smart man and also because my wife is sitting in the front row."
Arre wah, kya baat hai! Hugh then added, “But Aish, thank you very much. You are indeed a very beautiful actress. Not the most beautiful actress (pointing to his wife) but a very beautiful actress. But thank you to FICCI for having us here. It is a dream for us to be here in Mumbai, India. We’ve longed to come here.”
Fans Go Gaga Over Hugh’s Wit!
Oh boy, did the fans love his smart move! Instagram was flooded with comments like, “You praise Ash, you win her heart and her fans. But you praise your wife in front of her, you win all the women’s hearts,” and “Bro was saving himself from an argument.” Ah, Hugh, you clever devil! 😏
One fan even wrote, “Such a thorough gentleman apart from being a terrific actor.” And who can disagree? Hugh didn’t just stop at charming words; he also shook a leg with Shah Rukh Khan and Vidya Balan on stage! Imagine Wolverine doing Bollywood thumkas! Pure gold! ✨
Hugh even joked about wanting to do a sequel to SRK’s “My Name is Khan” called “My Name is Jackman and I am not a tourist.” Kya mast banda hai yaar!
The Aftermath
Sadly, Hugh and Deborra called it quits last year after 28 years together. But don’t worry, ladies! Hugh was last seen in the latest blockbuster “Deadpool and Wolverine” with Ryan Reynolds. So, he’s still very much around to make us swoon. 😍
Kiran’s Gyan
Arre Bollywood, kya sikha diya tumne? Even Hollywood stars are learning the art of dodging bullets with charm and wit! 😜 If there’s one thing we’ve learned from Hugh Jackman, it’s that praising your wife while complimenting another woman in front of her is a masterstroke of diplomacy. So, boys, take notes!
Until next time, stay filmy! 🎬
