Did Aishwarya ask Abhishek to hire Salman's ex-manager to boost his career?

It’s a small world, specially in the show world. It came as no surprise, then, when the high-profile business manager, Reshma Shetty — who was unceremoniously sacked by Salman Khan recently — began managing Abhishek Bachchan’s career.

According to sources close to the Khan family, Shetty was asked to leave over her differences with his Sohail Khan. Interestingly, the idea for hiring her came from Abhishek’s wife Aishwarya Rai Bachchan.

A source close to the Bachchans says, “Aishwarya felt Abhishek’s career needed a small push to catapult him to the top bracket once again. Of late, he hasn’t signed new films and is choosing to focus on the best possible projects.

Following his revamped priorities, his first new project will be Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s biopic on poet-lyricist, Sahir Ludhianvi. Reshma has been brought in to oversee Abhishek’s forthcoming career moves and to position him as a prominent entertainment brand.” Grapevine has it that Akshay Kumar also signed on Reshma Shetty, but there’s no confirmation on this.
