Abhishek Bachchan says daughter Aaradhya is turning into a wonderful lady because of wife Aishwarya Rai: ‘She does the heavy lifting…'
Abhishek Bachchan gives credit to Aishwarya Rai Bachchan for raising Aaradhya Bachchan
Talking to Nayandeep Rakshit on his YouTube channel, Abhishek Bachchan was asked about the challenges they face in raising a child in today's day and time. He was asked whether Aaradhya Bachchan had a reckoning of the fame her parents or grandparents enjoy. The Sarkar actor instantly replied that he had never really spoken to her daughter about this, but he believed that she has grown up now and understands everything. He further added that the credit for this entirely goes to her mother, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan.
Talking about his privilege, he spoke, 'I have the liberty, I get to go out and make my movie, and Aishwarya does the heavy lifting with Aaradhya, and she is amazing and selfless. Which I find amazing.' He confessed that fathers do not have the ability to be as giving as mothers because they are wired in a different way. They cannot prioritise their child as the top priority, and this is a gift that only mothers possess, said Junior Bachchan.
Abhishek Bachchan on Aaradhya being the pride of the family
Elaborating on how it still stands true for him at 49, Abhishek said, 'My mom is 76, I'm 49 and that's your comfort for every child. And no matter how old you are, to your mother, you are always going to be a baby.'
Bachchan further revealed that daughter Aaradhya is not on any social media and does not have a phone also. 'She is turning up to be a wonderful little lady. She is the pride and joy of the family, and ya, we are blessed,' concluded the Kaalidhar Laapata star.

Abhishek Bachchan Reveals Directors Refused To Launch Him Due To Big B's Legacy: 'Felt Disheartened'
Abhishek Bachchan shares how several directors refused to launch him due to his father's legacy, calling the early rejections 'disheartening but understandable.' While many might assume that being the son of Bollywood legends Amitabh Bachchan and Jaya Bachchan would have guaranteed an easy entry into films, Abhishek Bachchan recently opened up about how that perception couldn't have been further from the truth. In an interview with Nayandeep Rakshit, the actor candidly shared that his road to debut was riddled with rejections—not because he lacked talent or passion, but because people were too intimidated by his last name. 'When you're 21 years old and filled with exuberance and zest, and you know the chatter that you keep hearing around you, 'He's gonna become an actor.' Oh, it's a big deal. Somewhere you get caught up in that," he said, describing his mindset during his early twenties when he was preparing to make his debut. But his enthusiasm quickly met a reality check. 'When you go into a meeting—and not one but several—to say, 'Thanks, but no thanks,' and very politely. None of them were rude," Abhishek revealed. According to the actor, the refusals weren't rooted in disrespect, but rather a shared fear among directors about the expectations that would come with launching Amitabh Bachchan's son. 'I didn't understand then but I understood when I signed Refugee," he said. 'They were like, 'We don't want the responsibility of launching Amitabh Bachchan's son.' I didn't get that, but when I started working and I started seeing firsthand what my father meant to the film industry — fellow actors, directors — I said, you know, I get it." 'He's such an immense figure that people have so much love and respect for, and I think that's amazing," he added. 'I can understand why people said, 'Don't put that on us.'" Eventually, it was director JP Dutta who stepped in and offered Abhishek his first film, Refugee (2000), which also introduced Kareena Kapoor Khan to Bollywood. Reflecting on that time, Abhishek shared how those initial setbacks impacted him emotionally. 'I get it, but when you are so young and are like 'I'm ready, but no, really? Okay.' You feel bad, you're young, you know, you haven't seen as much of the world. You're not as wise. So you feel bad." He acknowledged that while his struggles were real, many others had it even harder. 'It's very disheartening, as any actor will tell you—not just me. I am the least qualified compared to the heartbreak many actors would have seen," he admitted. Now a seasoned actor with critically acclaimed performances in films like Guru, Yuva, Sarkar, Dasvi, and Manmarziyaan, Abhishek Bachchan has carved his own identity in the industry. He is currently busy promoting his upcoming film Kaalidhar Laapata. First Published: July 06, 2025, 21:02 IST
