hey max,
yes it is him. I know what movie you're talking about because that the first movie I watch and keep saying to myself. these two are going to get marry with each other in the future. I saw something back then that say they meant to be together. I think abhishek had a crush on ash way back in the day. they've been friend for 7 years and it so cool how friend become lover. it like a movie in real life. you should try watching their first movie together.
