During the shooting of 'Khakee' near Nashik with Aishwarya Rai, Amitabh Bachchan, and Akshay Kumar, a scary accident happened. A stuntman lost control of a car, which sped up and crashed into Aishwarya's chair. Both Aishwarya and Tushar Kapoor were caught by surprise. Akshay quickly stepped in, pulled the car away, and helped Aishwarya. She was then rushed to the hospital, leaving everyone on set shaken.

Bachchan, who would later become Aishwarya's father-in-law after her marriage to his son Abhishek, was very upset with how the media portrayed her accident. The press labeled her injury as minor, which bothered him.

In an interview with Rediff, he highlighted the seriousness of the incident and his concern for Aishwarya during that difficult time.



Big B shared that he had offered Aishwarya’s mother the option to take her back to Mumbai, arranging for Anil Ambani’s private plane. Due to the lack of night landing facilities in Nashik, special permission was needed to land at a military base 45 minutes away from the hospital. The plane's seats had to be removed to accommodate Aishwarya. Despite these efforts, Bachchan was frustrated that the incident was being dismissed as a minor issue.

Senior Bachchan revealed how Aishwarya's accident deeply affected him, leaving him sleepless for two nights. He described witnessing the incident firsthand, noting that her back was pierced with cactus thorns, the bone in her foot was broken, and she had severe cuts. Yet, the media downplayed her injuries as minor.



Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan married on April 20, 2007, in a lavish ceremony and have a daughter, Aaradhya. Recently, Aishwarya has been seen solo or with her daughter, sparking rumors of a possible divorce. However, neither Aishwarya nor Abhishek, nor the Bachchan family, have made any official statements.
