Aishwarya Rai Bachchan has carved a niche in the film and fashion industry based on her sheer talent and hard work. Over the course of three decades, she has worked with some of the biggest stars across the globe. Not only is she a fabulous artist, but also a caring and grounded human being – a fact everyone agrees with, including her husband, Abhishek Bachchan. As the diva celebrates her 51st birthday today, November 1, we look back at an old interview where Jr Bachchan couldn’t stop gushing over his wife.
The interview in question is from 2022, when Abhishek was promoting his film ‘Dasvi’ with co-star Nimrat Kaur. When the host asked him about having a 15-year-long marriage with Aishwarya, he went on to credit her for everything. “It’s high time that we acknowledge women as a superior species as compared to men. They tend to put things into perspective. And my wife is exceptional in that,” he said.
The actor went on to share how he and his entire family feel “lucky” to have a wife like her. Abhishek further described his relationship with the former Miss World and added, “The wonderful thing about having a life partner like Aishwarya is that she is from the business. She gets it. She has been doing it slightly longer than I have. So, she knows the world. She has been through it all. So, it’s nice when you come home and if you’ve had a challenging day, you know that there’s somebody who gets it. If at that point of time you just want to be left alone and deal with something by yourself, she understands that. Then there are times she recognises that he needs my support and helps me. That’s a very synergetic relationship that way.”
Abhishek’s journey in the industry has not been an easy one. There were times when he was trolled badly. He recalled how Aishwarya stood by him like a rock during his darkest hours. “She has been somebody who has been able to traverse some of the most difficult times of my life with utmost dignity and grace, And I admire that a lot about her,” he shared and added, “I am very lucky to have a partner like her who sets things straight for me.”
Abhishek also appreciated Aishwarya for always maintaining her calm, no matter how difficult the situation is, and said, “Actors are emotional people, we’re very, very hyper-sensitive and there are times when we might just want to lash out and we kind of explode. You can only take so much. I’ve never seen her do that.”Watch the video here:
