Abhishek Bachchan praises Aishwarya Rai's ‘selfless' parenting: ‘Aaradhya has no social media, phone'
A lot has been said and assumed about Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai in the past few months about their marriage and divorce. After a long pause, Abhishek opened up about his family in an interview. Talking about raising their daughter Aaradhya Rai Bachchan, he gave the credit to Aishwarya for ensuring her upbringing. 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.

Munawar Faruqui Shuts Down Farah Khan For Comparing His Jail Term To Bigg Boss: 'It's Offensive'
Munawar Faruqui was arrested in January 2021 after a complaint was filed against him for allegedly hurting religious sentiments during one of his shows in Indore, Madhya Pradesh. When Farah Khan recently sat down for a chat with Munawar Faruqui for her YouTube vlog, she seemingly left the comedian a little disappointed. It all started after Munawar opened up about his time in jail and talked about the intense environment in Bigg Boss. However, when Farah asked the stand-up comedian, 'Which was worse? Jail or Bigg Boss?", Munawar didn't hesitate and responded by saying, 'You can't even compare. It's offensive to compare." Munawar Faruqui's response seemingly shook Farah, who then decided to lighten the mood by asking, 'Which had more irritating people?" To this, Munawar quickly replied, 'Bigg Boss." When And Why Was Munawar Faruqui Jailed? Munawar Faruqui was arrested in January 2021 after a complaint was filed against him for allegedly hurting religious sentiments during one of his shows in Indore, Madhya Pradesh. According to police, the complainant overheard 'rehearsal jokes' that the Mumbai-based artist was going to crack on his show. The complaint was filed by Eklavya Singh Gaur (36), son of local BJP MLA Malini Laxman Singh Gaur, based on which Faruqui and four others were arrested, police said. Gaur and his associates had gone to the show as an audience, where they objected to the comments and created a ruckus over it. They also forced the event to stop. The comedian had to stay in jail for 37 days but was later granted bail by the Supreme Court. Later in November of the same year, he took to social media and announced that he had quit stand-up comedy. Back then, the comedian had issued a statement and alleged that 12 of his shows were cancelled in just two months due to threats of vandalism. Meanwhile, on the work front, Munawar Faruqui was recently seen as a special guest on Laughter Chefs season 2. Besides this, he also made his acting debut recently. His web series, First Copy, is currently streaming on Amazon MX Player.
