Abhishek Bachchan has been around fame since he was a child. As the son of legendary actors Amitabh Bachchan and Jaya Bachchan, he grew up watching what stardom looks like from very close. Later in life, he married global icon Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, but he says this never made him feel insecure. According to him, the credit goes to the values he learned at home while growing up.
In a recent conversation with Lilly Singh, Abhishek spoke about how he always believed in equality in relationships. He shared that when his parents got married, his mother Jaya Bachchan was actually more popular than his father Amitabh Bachchan. This made him understand from a young age that a relationship is not about one person being more important than the other. He said he was never taught that a man has to be in control. For him, it has always been about two people being equal partners.
Talking about his relationship with Aishwarya, Abhishek said they never followed traditional ideas like dividing roles between husband and wife. He explained that they were friends for a long time before they started dating. In fact, Aishwarya was one of the first actresses he worked with in his career, and over time they became very close friends. When they eventually got together, their relationship felt natural and easy. He said there were never discussions about who would earn money or who would take care of the house. Everything just happened naturally without any pressure.
Abhishek also spoke about how they are raising their daughter Aaradhya. He said both he and Aishwarya believe in leading by example instead of constantly telling her what is right or wrong. They try to show good values through their own actions. He also made it clear that they do not divide parenting roles. They both share every responsibility equally and want to set the right example for their daughter.
Abhishek and Aishwarya got married in 2007 and are one of the most talked about couples in the film industry. Last year, there were rumors about problems in their marriage when they were seen attending events separately. The rumors grew stronger when Aishwarya shared birthday pictures of Aaradhya without the Bachchan family. However, the couple later dismissed these talks by appearing together in public, showing that their relationship is still strong.
