Bollywood’s celebrity couple Abhishek and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan hardly get to spend some romantic time alone given their busy schedules but then this was the last thing they wanted as having to spend time alone in this manner.
It all happened on Wednesday in the jungles of Athirapilly in Kerala where they were shooting for Mani Ratnam’s ‘Raavan’. Abhi-Ash along with Mani Ratnam had gone to check out an elephant which was supposed to participate in the shooting from next week.
The elephant went out of control killing the mahout and taking off on a stampede. As a result, Abhishek, Aishwarya and Mani had to spend their time hiding in the jungles until people who could control the elephant and rescue the couple could reach.
They had to spend around ten hours without food or water until they were rescued late at night. But until then there was no news of their safety and wellbeing and not to mention here that Bachchan family and Aishwarya’s parents were very worried.
Given the amount of pains the unit has taken to shoot ‘Raavan’ right from director’s health scare to an elephant out on stampede to severe viral infections and malaria, this film, when released, will definitely make up for the efforts put in.
