When Aishwarya Rai Got ANGRY With Journalist For Asking Abhishek Bachchan About Being Overshadowed By His Wife And Father Amitabh Bachchan

Aishwarya Rai once defended Abhishek after a journalist asked him if he was concerned that his father Amitabh and wife could “overshadow” him

Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan are adored by fans for both their on and off-screen chemistry. They have worked in several films together and have supported each other on different occasions during media interviews.

Yes, you read that right! We recalled once in an interview Aishwarya had defended Abhishek when a journalist asked him if he was concerned that his superstar father Amitabh Bachchan and wife Aishwarya could “overshadow” him due to their big stardom.

In 2010, during the promotion of their film ‘Raavan’, Abhishek was asked by a BBC journalist about the fear of being overshadowed by Big B and the actress. While the Taal actress backed the actor and called the question “unfair,” Abhishek stated ‘no.’

In the joint interview, Aishwarya interrupted Abhishek and stated, “I absolutely despise the term overshadow. I think it’s unfair that this question is posed and imposed on him (Abhishek) at each point in time because that isn’t it at all.

His body of work, the kind of variety of roles… he is very, very well established and has carved a niche for himself.”

Explaining the reason, why she interrupted, the Jodhaa Akbar actress mentioned she could relate to this question. “The reason I have interrupted is because I found myself for the longest time being asked ‘So you have been a model, and you’ve been Miss World, do you find yourself only getting roles where you will be this beautiful woman?’ So it is the same way, it’s this perception that stands larger than the reality and the fact is that we are all doing very good work… I am sorry to interrupt your answer (to Abhishek)… it is the truth and truth must be said,” Aishwarya added.

Interestingly, the Dhoom actor did not get offended by the question as he respectfully said, “No, not at all.”

For the unversed, Aishwarya and Abhishek got married in 2007 in an intimate ceremony and they welcomed their first child, daughter Aaradhya in 2011.

Abhishek Reacts To A Post On ‘Divorce’ After Aishwarya Kept Distance From His Family At Ambani Bash

After Aishwarya Rai Bachchan skipped posing with Abhishek Bachchan and his family at Anant Ambani’s wedding, the actor recently reacted to a divorce post.

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan grabbed all the attention after she arrived at Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant’s wedding separately from her husband, Abhishek Bachchan, and her in-laws. While the entire Bachchan clan posed together, Aishwarya came along with her daughter, Aaradhya Bachchan, which left everyone wondering if the divorce rumours were true. Later, in the inside glimpses from Anant Ambani’s wedding, we saw Aishwarya and Abhishek together, which brought a sigh of relief. However, amid this, Abhishek’s social media action again grabbed attention.

Abhishek Bachchan reacts to a post on ‘divorce’ rising speculations about his split rumours with Aishwarya

When Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Abhishek Bachchan were later spotted together at Anant Ambani’s wedding, people thought that maybe everything between the couple was fine and it was only a family feud, as reported earlier. Amid this, we stumbled upon a post by an author, Heena Khandelwal, on IG, wherein she talked elaborately about divorce. The post featured a cover of an article/book about ‘divorce’, and the title reads, “When love stops being easy.” The subhead under the post could be read as:

“Couples who have been married are now parting ways. What has prompted their decision and why are grey divorces on the rise?”

In the caption, the author details the aspects that her article/book covers, such as ‘grey divorces’ or ‘silver splitters’ and more. She also, in her caption, wrote that her article/book features about the hardship of separation, including how couples who had spent years of togetherness cope with parting ways with one another and how it would be so difficult for them to accept, as they once dreamt of being together and live the moments like the hand-holding old couples that we see in several videos or movies. However, what grabbed the attention was Abhishek Bachchan’s like on it, which yet again sparked rumours about his split with Aishwarya.

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan kept a distance from the Bachchan clan as she appeared at Anant Ambani’s wedding

The split rumours between Abhishek and Aishwarya Bachchan yet again began, when the actress arrived at Anant Ambani’s wedding with her daughter. On the other hand, the Bachchan clan posed for a family photo, including Abhishek, Shweta, Jaya, Amitabh, Nikhil Nanda, Navya, and Agastya. It seemed a bit unusual as only Aishwarya and Aaradhya were missing from the frame. Such an incident instantly ignited the ongoing divorce rumours between the couple.

On the other hand, Aishwarya met Rekha at Anant’s wedding. The actresses shared a warm hug, and Rekha also blessed Aaradhya. Amid this, some inside glimpses from the wedding went viral, wherein Abhishek and Aishwarya could be seen alongside each other. It left netizens thinking that everything was fine between the couple and that it was a family feud that kept Aishwarya away from posing with the Bachchans.

Last year, reports were rife that Aishwarya had moved out of Jalsa, and was not on cordial terms with Jaya. It was also reported that Jaya and Aishwarya hadn’t talked for years. As per a report by Times Now, Aishwarya and Abhishek have been facing issues in their marital life for a long but they are together for Aaradhya.
