Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan's daughter Aaradhya is not on social media and doesn't have a phone — Here's why
Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan 's love story has long been one of Bollywood's most loved romances. In 2007, they tied the knot in a grand wedding ceremony that caught the eye of the entire nation. A few years later, they welcomed their daughter Aaradhya into the world, bringing even more joy to the Bachchan family. Abhishek showers praise on Aishwarya for raising Aaradhya In a recent chat with Nayandeep Rakshit on his YouTube channel, Abhishek Bachchan opened up about how they are bringing up Aaradhya. He did not shy away from giving all the credit to Aishwarya Rai Bachchan for the way their daughter is being raised. '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.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like An engineer reveals: One simple trick to get internet without a subscription Techno Mag Learn More Undo Aaradhya stays away from social media and does not have a phone In a time when most youngsters are busy with Instagram, YouTube and Snapchat, Aaradhya Bachchan stands out. Abhishek revealed that their daughter is not on any social media platform and doesn't even own a mobile phone yet. '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,' said Abhishek.

"Partially yes, and also I feel currently, sadly, and I'm the first person who used to say if you can't handle the heat get out of the kitchen but I just feel a lot of social media is just about baiting. It's not a place where you can have a healthy discussion. When it first started you could have a healthy debate or discourse with somebody. Now it's not that. I use it more professionally now."
