Ranbir Kapoor is adorable, he has amazing sense of humour: Aishwarya

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan calls Ranbir Kapoor “adorable”; adds that Karan Johar, the director of her next, has wanted to work with her since his 1998 directorial debut.

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, who was last seen in Sarbjit, is looking forward to her next, which is directed by Karan Johar. The actor says they intended to work together on projects in the past, but things didn’t work out. “Karan often told me, ‘You are meant to be in my film.’ It didn’t happen all these years. Finally, we are working together,” says Aishwarya.

The actor reveals that Karan first approached her with a role while he was making his debut film, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai (1998). “I couldn’t do the movie because I was shooting for Aa Ab Laut Chalen (AALC; 1999). I was on a 40-day schedule in the US. It was Chintu uncle’s (Rishi Kapoor; actor) first film as a director. I’m a fan of his, and I looked up to him. I just couldn’t mess things up with him,” she says.
