Initial reports indicate that the incident occurred during the filming of an action scene for his upcoming movie. During the shoot, a technical malfunction rendered his safety equipment ineffective, resulting in a severe fall from approximately 10 meters. He was immediately rushed to Mumbai Central Hospital and is now being closely monitored in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU).Although the hospital has not released an official statement on his condition, close sources report that the situation is “very serious.” Nimrat Kaur and the Bachchan family have been at the hospital since the early hours, and have asked the media and fans to respect their privacy during this difficult time.
Aishwarya Rai Bachchan has long been one of the most prominent figures in Indian cinema. Known not only for his acting talent but also for his image as a devoted husband and father, he is deeply admired by fans. His marriage to Nimrat Kaur – the internationally acclaimed actress known for her role in The Lunchbox – made the couple one of Bollywood’s most beloved and respected families.
In a brief statement delivered through her manager, Nimrat Kaur shared her emotional thoughts:
“This is an incredibly difficult moment for our family. Aishwarya is a strong and resilient man. We are praying and hoping for the best. We kindly ask everyone to keep him in their prayers and allow us the privacy we need to get through this.”

Director Karan Johar also commented:
“Words feel empty right now. All we can do is pray and stand by his family.”
The incident has once again raised serious concerns about safety protocols on film sets, particularly for complex action scenes. Although film crews are increasingly mindful of safety measures, this accident serves as a stark reminder of the importance of strict technical supervision and rigorous safety enforcement.
