Actress Aishwarya Rai Bachchan in an epitome of beauty as she has aged like fine wine. As she turns a year older today, we bring to you the time she had addressed rumours about marrying a tree before she tied the knot with Abhishek Bachchan. For those who don’t know, back in the day, it was heavily reported that she was asked by her in-laws to marry a tree to remove her Mangal grah before her wedding with her husband. Rubbishing the rumours she had recalled how even the international media had questioned her about the absurd rumours.
Addressing the speculations, during an interview, she had explained how shocking it was. Quoted by Bollywood Life, the 50-year-old actress said, “While we would like to imagine that it is a passing phase, it gets logged. And I recognised it at times when you get to travel abroad, of which there is ample opportunity... So, you’re constantly interacting with international media, and when they start wondering at the sheer ludicrous nature of everything, like, ‘You got married to a tree, and you have this huge curse on you?’ You just think, ‘Oh my god, where am I going to start?'” ALSO READ: Aishwarya Rai Bachchan REACTS To Trolls Body-Shaming Her For Gaining Weight After Her Pregnancy!

Talking to Times Network during an interview in 2007, he had said, “Where is the tree? Please show it to me. The only person she’s married to is my son.
