Actor Abhishek Bachchan recently opened up about parenting, family values, and his daughter Aaradhya Bachchan, in a recent interview. Reflecting on how he and Aishwarya Rai are raising their daughter, Abhishek offered heartfelt praise for his wife's dedication as a mother, even revealing that Aaradhya is not on social media and doesn't own a mobile phone. Abhishek Bachchan reflects on parenting, credits Aishwarya Rai for their daughter Aaradhya's upbringing.
Aishwarya does the heavy lifting of raising Aaradhya
In a candid conversation with Nayandeep Rakshit, Abhishek gave full credit to Aishwarya for the way Aaradhya is being raised. 'I have to give all the credit to her mother. I have the liberty to go out and work on my films, but Aishwarya handles the heavy lifting when it comes to Aaradhya. She's amazing. Selfless. I truly believe mothers are wired differently. Fathers are usually more goal-oriented, but mothers make their child the top priority. That's why they're our go-to people. For Aaradhya, everything is thanks to Aishwarya.'
Aaradhya stays away from social media and mobile phones
In a world where most children and teens are glued to their devices, Abhishek shared that their daughter isn't on social media and doesn't even own a mobile phone yet.
'She's not on any social media and doesn't have a phone. I think she's been brought up to be a very conscientious girl. That's a credit to her, too. She's becoming a wonderful young lady. She's the pride and joy of our family. At the end of the day, happiness is coming home to a healthy and happy family, and that means everything," Abhishek added.
