Happy birthday, Abhishek Bachchan! The star turns 39 today and we can’t elaborate on how much we love that man. Not only is he one of the most competent actors of our generation, one the wittiest men around and the best thing about Happy New Year, Abhishek is also awesome because he’s the best husband ever. And in an office dominated by girls, trust me, that’s really attractive. So check out the reasons why Abhishek is the man every guy should aspire to be.

1) He supports her in every endeavor she takes up

Be it the AmFar gala, her interview with Oprah or her being crowned Beauty With A Purpose at Miss World 2014, Abhishek is always with her.

2) He’s legitimately excited about her comeback

Sanjay Gupta is directing Aishwarya Rai Bachchan’s comeback movie and he and Abhishek are the MOST excited about it!

3) Because he calls her his anchor

Aishwarya is my anchor. She is my buddy, my closest friend. I can discuss anything with her. Our relationship is not based on her being Aishwarya Rai or me coming from an illustrious family. It is just about two people falling in love which has organically grown. We started during Guru. It was meant to be.

4) They give great interviews together

I mean their episode together on Koffee With Karan season 3 was epic and Ash gave us THE quote of the season:

We are Bachchans for all seasons and my name is not Khan!

5) He think she looks ‘achhi’ in whatever she does

Okay, I get that’s just a song in a movie they did together, but in my opinion it’s one of the most romantic songs ever!

6) They’re basically best friends

Even in his earlier quote, Abhishek has mentioned often how Ash and he are basically besties and we all know that’s the best foundation for every healthy relationship!

7) He gave the media his piece of mind when they were obsessed with fat-shaming his wife

I just think it’s extremely insensitive and no one has the liberty to speak about her like the way they sometimes do. Yes, she’s a public figure, but people forget she’s also a woman and now a mother and there’s a line that’s not to be crossed. I don’t talk that way about any woman ever and it’s obviously not graceful for anyone to talk about her like that either. But may be that’s expecting too much, so to be honest, we kind of not let it affect us at all. Like Aishwarya always says, ‘negativity is like one drop in a huge ocean’ and we’d rather be happy about the love and blessings we get.

8) They make a great on-screen couple

Seriously, the best thing about Raavan was their undeniable chemistry!

9) He isn’t threatened by his wife’s enormous success

It’s true love when your bae is secure with your success.
