Abhishek Bachchan opened up about his family and said that Aishwarya Rai has allowed him to work and make movies while she takes care of their daughter Aaradhya Bachchan back home. Abhishek and Aishwarya welcomed Aaradhya in 2011. Since their daughter was born, Aishwarya has taken a back step from her acting career, starring in only a handful movies. She is also often spotted at events, such as Cannes, with her daughter by her side.
Speaking with ETimes, Abhishek Bachchan was speaking about Aaradhya adapting to the world of stardom when he credited Aishwarya for helping Aaradhya to get acustomed to it all. “Thankfully, her mother has seamlessly eased her into this world. I think it was very important and Aishwarya handled it beautifully that it wasn’t made into a big deal for her that both her grandparents are from the film world and both your parents are from a film world. We didn’t make it into a ‘big thing’,” he said.
The actor went to add that he credits this to Aishwarya. “She allows me to go out and make my films and she takes care of Aaradhya,” he added. When he was asked if Aaradhya is a movie buff or has a favourite film of the actor, Abhishek said, “She doesn’t really want to compulsively watch movies, she’s happy doing other things. At some level, I don’t want to ask her which is her favourite film of mine. I don’t think I want to because I’ll get a brutally honest answer and I don’t think I’m ready for that (with a laugh).”
Aaradhya was born in November 2011. Unlike most star kids, Aaradhya has stayed away from the limelight and makes most appearances with Aishwarya. She was recently seen accompanying Aishwarya to Cannes and was also a part of the Ponniyin Selvan 2 screening in Chennai before that.
