For the last few months, there have been persistent rumours surrounding Abhishek Bachchan's personal life, especially about alleged discord in his marriage with Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. However, the actor has now addressed these rumours head-on, painting a very different picture of his family dynamics. In a candid conversation, Abhishek opened up about his family life, particularly the pivotal role Aishwarya plays in raising their daughter, Aaradhya Bachchan.
In a chat with Nayandeep Rakshit on his YouTube channel, Abhishek shared that he gives all the credit to Aishwarya for raising their daughter Aaradhya. 'I have to give the credit of everything entirely to her mother. I have the liberty and I go out to make my movies but Aishwarya does the heavy lifting with Aaradhya. She is amazing. Selfless. I find it amazing. Just mothers in general, I don't think fathers have the ability to be as giving, maybe we are wired differently, we are more about going out, we have to do something, we have to work, we are goal-oriented. And to be able to say, 'No, this is my baby and this is my top priority for me,' I think it's amazing and it's a gift. That's why possibly our go-to people are mothers. So for Aaradhya, yes, absolutely, the entire credit goes to Aishwarya.'
Abhishek also took a moment to applaud Aaradhya herself for the young person she is growing up to be. He shared that she doesn't have any social media, and does not even have a phone. 'She is not on any social media, doesn't have a phone also. I think she is brought up to be a very conscientious girl and I think that's also a testimony to her individually. I don't want to take away from her what she is personally. She is who she is and she is turning out to be a wonderful little lady. She is the pride and joy of the family. So yeah, we are blessed. And at the end of the day, it's that happiness is coming home to a happy and healthy family. That is so important,' he said and recalled the night Aaradhya was born. 'She used to literally fit on my forearm. Aaradhya is taller than Aishwarya,' he said.

Currently promoting his upcoming film Kaalidhar Laapata, Abhishek also addressed rumours of a supposed separation from Aishwarya. Speaking to ETimes, he expressed frustration over how easily such narratives are spun online. He said that is very convenient for people to sit behind computer screens and write nasty things without knowing that they might be hurting them.
