The entertainment world is abuzz with rumors about Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan’s alleged marital discord. Amid these speculations, an old video featuring Jaya Bachchan has resurfaced, where she candidly distinguishes between a daughter and a daughter-in-law.
In an interview with NDTV, Jaya Bachchan explained how her relationship with Aishwarya evolved over time. She stated, “There is a difference between a daughter and a daughter-in-law, you know. I mean, I don’t know why, but you don’t feel the need to respect your parents the same way. As a daughter, you take your parents for granted. With your in-laws, you can’t do that.” She added, “But later, things changed, because I feel today more of a Bachchan than a Bhaduri.”
Jaya also shared her parenting philosophy, describing herself as a strict mother to her children, Abhishek and Shweta Bachchan. However, she noted a contrasting approach when it came to Aishwarya, saying, “Strict? She’s not my daughter! She’s my daughter-in-law. Why should I be strict with her? I’m sure her mother has done that for her.”
Speculations Around Bachchan Family Dynamics:
The resurfaced video has intensified speculations about the reported issues in Abhishek and Aishwarya’s marriage. Fans and gossip enthusiasts have pointed to alleged tensions within the Bachchan family and rumors about Abhishek’s alleged affair with his Dasvi co-star Nimrat Kaur as possible causes.
Adding to the speculation, keen observers noted the family dynamics during their appearance at Anant Ambani’s wedding. Aishwarya and her daughter Aaradhya were photographed separately from the rest of the Bachchan family, further fueling rumors of a rift.
