Trivia

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan gained about 20 pounds for this film because she felt it was more suitable for her character to not look like a fashion model and to give her a more realistic appearance.

This is Aishwarya Rai Bachchan's first movie entirely in English.

According to Gurinder Chadha, Ashanti's appearance in the film is meant as a homage to a tradition in Bollywood films where a celebrity would make a cameo appearance to sing a song that has no direct involvement in the plot. The rest of the characters do not interact with the celebrity but rather are seen in the crowd enjoying the show.

The thick green book that Lalita opens at the Goa pool is by Jane Austen.

The phrase "no life without wife" is an old saying by Gurinder Chadha's father.
