<span class=normal>2006<BR><BR><br><p class=clear>&nbsp;</p>This was the year that saw Abhishek Bachchan coming together with Aishwarya Rai, well even in real life. While love bloomed on the sets of Umrao Jaan, the final product was such that it toppled someone as big as J.P. Dutta out of business for long. Close to half a decade has gone by but Dutta hasnt been able to recover from the films calamity. A huge disaster of the year for the Bachchan couple, it is one red in their Bollywood report card that is difficult to be erased. <BR><BR><br><p class=clear>&nbsp;</p>For Aishwarya Rai, there was double trouble actually, what with her effort in the West, The Mistress of Spices, finding an all around ridicule for itself.
