Abhishek Bachchan praises Aishwarya Rai's ‘selfless' parenting: ‘Aaradhya has no social media, phone'
Talking to Nayandeep Rakshit on his YouTube channel, Abhishek called Aishwarya Rai 'selfless' for her parenting.
He said, '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 went on to reveal that Aaradhya is yet to have her personal phone or even a social media handle.
He added about his daughter growing up: '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.'
"She used to literally fit on my forearm. Aaradhya is taller than Aishwarya,' he also said.
Abhishek and Aishwarya's daughter is 13. She is studying at Dhirubhai Ambani International School, Mumbai.
Meanwhile, Abhishek Bachchan's latest film Kaalidhar Laapata is currently streaming on Zee 5.

Kaalidhar Laapata: Madhumita Reveals Amitabh Bachchan's Reaction After Reading Script
Last Updated: In an exclusive interview to Zoom, director Madhumita shared Amitabh Bachchan's reaction and called it biggest blessings Abhishek Bachchan starrer Kaalidhar Laapataa has been released on the OTT platform and is getting love from all corners.

In an exclusive conversation with Zoom, director Madhumita shared Amitabh Bachchan's reaction and said, 'Madhumita congratulations. I read the script. Abhishek told me about the film and it's a lovely script'. What other accolade or prize do you need to have? It was the biggest blessing and pat on the back." 'North Indians normally touch someone's feet with one hand (to show respect). They bend forward, and if you're giving respect to somebody, you touch their feet with one hand. But South Indians, what we do is we fall full on the floor. That's how we respect somebody. So I did that and Abhishek sir, till today, makes fun of me saying 'I thought you tripped and fell on your face because that's how you fell'. I told him, 'No sir, I wanted to touch his feet' because it was such a beautiful moment," she added. Kaalidhar Laapata also stars Mohd Zeeshan Ayyub and promises an intense, emotional narrative packed with suspense. Looking ahead, Abhishek will next be seen in the action-thriller King. Set for release in 2026, the film has already generated significant buzz thanks to its star-studded cast. The film will be headlined by Shah Rukh Khan as a powerful assassin entrenched in the criminal underworld. Abhishek joins Suhana Khan and Abhay Verma, while reports suggest that Deepika Padukone, Arshad Warsi, Rani Mukerji and Anil Kapoor have also been roped in for pivotal roles.
