All is not well between the Bollywood's most famous couple Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Bachchan. Aishwarya who is seen comfortable in company of her hubby and family members had a heated argument with Abhi during the recent IIFA Awards ceremony in Bangkok. The couple later stormed into their hotel room and were heard screaming at the top of their voice.
The trouble started when Aishwarya was being over expressive at the award function in company of actor Kunal Kapoor. Abhi who did not appreciate that requested her to keep low but she still continued grabbing attention. Abhi then took her to the hotel lobby and tried to put his point across to her. The actress however blasted at him over the issue.
The couple are said to have argued art the top of their voice for a long time after which Abhi lost his temper completely. He asked his personal security guards to escort Ash out of the room. Is it just an one off incident or just the beginning of more to come? Only time will tell.

Mumbai - , De! India still rules. Not just in slogans, it won best film award for Shah Rukh Khan (SRK) at IIFA. It is still attracting attention from all quarters including the critics, common people and also the people who matter in the film industry.
Chak De! India director Shimit Amin also won the best director award and Jaideep Sahni, who wrote Chak De! India won the best screenplay award.
Another Shah Rukh Khan film Om Shanti Om also won a couple of awards on the occasion, making IIFA sort of Shah Rukh Khan show. It was despite the fact that the actor did not attend the IIFA award
Chak De! India is unlike any other film. It shows how sheer determination coupled with hard work can do unlikely feats. It was what Shah Rukh Khan did with the girls’ hockey team, in the film.
The film’s title became a national slogan within a few months. And even Chak De India was the most often heard slogan during matches, be it cricket, hockey or football.
While fans say they are proud of him for choosing an unusual film like this, critics across the globe are raving about how effortlessly he plays a coach who travels to glory from gloom.
"After 'Swades' Shah Rukh has again essayed a role where he has totally negated his own superstar self and completely become the character he is supposed to play. There is not a single trace of the superstar that we have seen in most of his films like 'Don'," said Anuradha, a Shah Rukh fan.
Critic Andy Webster in his review in New York Times writes: "For his part, Mr. Khan, to his credit, lets his co-stars' youthful charisma carry the movie. He also laudably portrays a man who vigorously and unabashedly advocates the advancement of women."
The film is based on former India goalkeeper Mir Ranjan Negi who lost his glory after conceding several goals in a match against Pakistan in the 1982 Asian Games final. He was dropped from the team. Negi returned to the hockey field, most grudgingly, 16 years later as a goalkeeping coach and helped India in winning the 1998 Asian Games men's gold at Bangkok and the women's gold at the Manchester Commonwealth Games in 2002.
Shah Rukh convincingly portrays the shame, disillusionment of the disgraced hockey player and determination to win back his prestige.
Negi, who was roped in as a technical director of the film, said he was impressed by Shah Rukh's performance.
