The late Yash Chopra along with Aishwarya gifted a Lord Ganesha Idol to him. While accepting the gift, Hugh thanked her. He said, “I was told I was going to be introduced by the most beautiful actress in the world and I thought it was going to be my wife. And I say that because I am a very smart man and also because my wife is sitting in the front row”.
The actor thanked Aishwarya once again and called her a ‘very beautiful actress’. “Not the most beautiful actress (pointing to his wife) but a very beautiful actress. But thank you to FICCI for having us here”, he added. Meanwhile, ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ is causing a rampage at the global box office. The film, which debuted in theatres on July 26, has collected $1.086 billion at the global box office. In India, the film’s total collection is somewhere to the tune of $10.5 million.
The film collected $211 million in its US domestic debut to rank as the sixth-biggest opening weekend of all time. Since then, it has remained a massive draw with $516 million in North America and $568 million internationally.
