An old video clip featuring Shweta Bachchan and Abhishek Bachchan from their appearance on "Koffee With Karan" has recently resurfaced and gone viral, sparking renewed interest in the dynamics within the Bachchan family, particularly regarding Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Jaya Bachchan. The clip reveals Shweta's candid insights into Abhishek's relationships with his mother and his wife.
During the rapid-fire round on the show, Karan Johar posed the question of whom Abhishek is more afraid of: his mother, Jaya Bachchan, or his wife, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. While Abhishek initially stated that he is more scared of his mother, Shweta quickly interjected, claiming that he is actually more scared of Aishwarya. This playful banter provides a glimpse into the family's dynamics and how they perceive each other.
Adding to the intrigue, Shweta also shared some things she dislikes and tolerates about Aishwarya. She mentioned that she hates Aishwarya's tendency to take a long time to return phone calls and messages, and she tolerates her time management skills. These small details offer a more relatable and human perspective on Aishwarya, contrasting with her often-perfect public image.
The resurfaced clip has gained traction amidst ongoing rumors about a possible rift between Abhishek and Aishwarya. These rumors were further fueled when Aishwarya attended the Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant's wedding with her daughter Aaradhya, but was not included in the Bachchan family photos. This absence led to speculation about potential tensions between Aishwarya and her in-laws, especially Jaya Bachchan.
Interestingly, Jaya Bachchan herself has previously spoken about her relationship with Aishwarya. In another old interview, Jaya stated that she doesn't impose the same strictness on Aishwarya as she does on her own children, Shweta and Abhishek. Jaya explained that Aishwarya is her daughter-in-law, not her daughter, implying a different dynamic and level of expectations. She believes that Aishwarya's own mother has the right to be strict with her, not her mother-in-law.
Jaya has also expressed her belief that there's a difference between a daughter and a daughter-in-law, noting that daughters may sometimes take their parents for granted, while in-laws require a more respectful approach. However, she also mentioned that her perspective has evolved over time, and she now feels more like a Bachchan than a Bhaduri (her maiden name), indicating a deep sense of belonging and integration within the family.
Despite the rumors and speculations, the Bachchan family has maintained a private stance, neither confirming nor denying any tensions. The resurfaced interviews and clips offer glimpses into their relationships, but it's important to remember that these are just snippets of their lives and may not reflect the complete picture. The dynamics within any family are complex and multifaceted, and the Bachchans are no exception.
