Aishwarya Rai rested the eye at the second showing of Vipul and Shefali Shah's play 'Bus Itna Sa Khwab' on August 22 late night at Rangsharda theatre, Bandra in Mumbai. She accompanied husband Abhishek Bachchan and pa-in-law Amitabh Bachchan to the event, dressed in a white button front loose fit shirt with folded sleeves and black slim pants. She kept cozy carrying a black and gray scarf.
She wore white peeptoe pumps with a black bow top and carried a black clutch. Her hot pink nails were a rare sighting on her. Abhishek looked cute in a white shirt with a pink floral print detail on the front, light blue jeans, brown pointy leather shoes and a brown striped scarf to keep him warm. Amitabh Bachchan was his stately self in a blue pin stripe suit and white dress shirt.
The trio sat in the front row, next to Akshay Kumar and Twinkle Khanna. The Bachchans joined the rest of the audience for a standing ovation to a brilliant performance by Shefali Shah and the rest of the cast. After getting such a grand reception to her performance, an emotional Shefali got a special hug from Big B. "Incredible play 'bas itna saa khwab' and Shefali Shah, Vipul's wife, my wife in film 'Waqt', is just unbelievable..choked with emotion!" Amitabh tweeted after the show.
Talking about her role in the play, a socio-psychological thriller about the purpose of life and how reality is replaced by illusions, Shefali said, "I am playing Shalini's character which has got so many layers to it. She's the most relatable woman and yet she can surprise you. My challenge is to portray her in a way that everyone can identify with her."
