In a conversation with Famously Filmfare in 2019, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan revealed while her father Krishnaraj wasn’t at home, it was Amitabh Bachchan and Jaya Bachchan who did her roka ceremony.
“I didn't even know there's something called a 'roka' ceremony. We are South Indians, so, I don't know what a 'roka' is and suddenly there is this call from their house to ours; 'we are coming'. And we were like, okay. And I'm like, dad? He was like; it will take him one more day (to come),” she said.

She revealed that the Bachchan family was set to arrive at her residence when her father wasn’t in town. “Abhishek was like ‘We are all coming and I can't stop dad. We are on our way. We are coming to your place.’ I'm like, 'Oh my God!' So, this 'roka' is happening with a call to my father, who is out of town.”

She further said, “Mum (Brinda Rai) is here, we are here. They've all arrived home, they are emotional and all. I'm like, 'Oh my God, it’s happening.' Then it's like, 'come on, let's go home'. I'm like, 'Mom, okay... is this...is this an engagement? Like, what just happened?”

On the work front, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan was last seen in Mani Ratnam’s Ponniyin Selvan Part 1 and 2.
