Agencies Abhishek Bachchan Dispels Marital Rumours, Credits Aishwarya Rai for Family Stability For several months, speculation has been rife regarding Abhishek Bachchan's personal life, with numerous reports suggesting strains in his marriage with actress Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. However, Abhishek has now directly addressed these whispers, offering clarity and expressing deep appreciation for his wife's role in their home.In a candid interview with Nayandeep Rakshit on his YouTube platform, Abhishek opened up about his domestic life and, most notably, highlighted Aishwarya's unwavering dedication as a mother. The actor emphasized that it is entirely Aishwarya who shoulders the primary responsibility of nurturing their daughter, Aaradhya Bachchan.
'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..." he said. According to Abhishek, his profession allows him to travel frequently for film projects, while Aishwarya remains devoted to their child's upbringing. He acknowledged that this kind of constant emotional and physical presence is a remarkable trait often found in mothers, something he feels fathers may not always be naturally inclined toward due to their action-oriented tendencies. He underscored that Aishwarya consistently places Aaradhya above everything else, treating motherhood as her foremost priority—a quality he deeply admires.Abhishek also took a moment to express pride in his daughter, Aaradhya. Describing her as a thoughtful and well-grounded individual, he revealed that she currently stays away from social media and does not even own a mobile phone. He believes that her maturity and values reflect not only the upbringing she has received but also her unique personality. He was careful to give Aaradhya due credit, noting that she is evolving into a remarkable young woman on her own merits. Calling her the 'pride and joy' of their family, he expressed gratitude for the peace and contentment that comes from returning to a warm, joyful, and close-knit home.Abhishek fondly recalled the night Aaradhya was born, reminiscing about how she once fit on his forearm and noting, with fatherly amusement, that she has now grown taller than her mother, Aishwarya.While promoting his upcoming film Kaalidhar Laapata, Abhishek addressed the online chatter surrounding his marriage. Speaking to ETimes , he criticized the ease with which people craft negative stories from behind their screens. He called out the insensitivity of such narratives, pointing out that these falsehoods can cause real emotional pain to those involved.In the same interview, Abhishek also recalled his first meeting with Aishwarya. He revealed they met for the first time in Switzerland in 1995, where he had gone location scouting for his father Amitabh Bachchan's film Mrityudaata.As fate would have it, his good friend Bobby Deol happened to be in Switzerland at the same time, busy filming Aur Pyaar Ho Gaya. That movie starred none other than Aishwarya Rai, who would go on to play a pivotal role in Abhishek's personal life. Interestingly, although they were in the same place and knew each other back then, their love story didn't begin during that time.It wasn't until later, while collaborating on films like Dhai Akshar Prem Ke and Kuch Naa Kaho, that their bond began to grow. Their connection deepened even further on the sets of Guru, where their powerful on-screen chemistry eventually led to a real-life relationship.The couple made their relationship official when they got engaged in January 2007. A few months later, on 20 April 2007, they were married in a lavish and highly publicized ceremony in Mumbai, attended by close family, friends, and several celebrities from the film industry. In 2011, their family grew with the birth of their daughter, Aaradhya, bringing a new chapter of joy and togetherness into their lives.

Why Is Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah Topping TRP Charts? Bhide Reveals

Last Updated: TMKOC's Mandar seemingly also took a dig at those who left the show and stated that, despite everything, the show has "always held its ground". For the three consecutive weeks, Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah has been ruling the TRP charts, surpassing all other Hindi television shows. Recently, Mandar Chandwadkar, who plays the role of Atmaram Tukaram Bhide in the popular sitcom, also reacted to the show topping the TRP list and expressed gratitude towards the audience. Mandar seemingly also took a dig at those who left the show and stated that, despite everything, the show has 'always held its ground". 'We feel truly proud that even after 17 years, we continue to receive immense love from fans. They shower the same love that they gave in the beginning. The show is still doing well in terms of TRPs, and that's a big achievement. As we complete 17 years and step into the 18th, I want to congratulate the entire team on this incredible milestone. Over the years, many people have come and gone, but this show has always held its ground. The biggest reason behind that is our producer, Asit Kumarr Modi. He still sits with the writers every day, working closely on each story and every character," Mandar told ETimes. Mandar shared that the show has also been topping the TRP list because people are loving the current Bhootni track. 'Audiences love to see Gokuldhamwasis in trouble. The reaction to the Bhootni track is awesome. The fans of the show are making reels and memes, they recently posted my dance with funny music and it became quite a hit. With social media we get instant reaction about the sequence from the viewers. TMKOC enjoys such a massive fan base and the viewers keep looking forward to different episodes," he added. However, Mandar also promised a mega twist in the upcoming episodes of TMKOC and concluded by saying, 'We're building up to a major twist in the climax, and things are getting funnier with each episode. What makes this track unique is that, for the first time, there's just one girl, but two completely different perspectives about her and that's where the comedy and confusion really take off."

Abhishek Bachchan's co-star Priya Yadav recalls his rare gesture during ‘Kaalidhar Laapata' shoot: ‘He was incredibly warm and respectful'

Abhishek Bachchan is getting a lot of love for his recent release 'Kaalidhar Laapata' which released on OTT. Priya Yadav who played Gudiya, his sister in the film also got a lot of appreciation for her heartwarming character. In a recent interview, she opened up about her experience of working with him. For those not in the know, Priya was also seen in 'The Railway Men'. Talking about working with Abhishek, Priya said during a chat with News 18 Showsha, 'Abhishek sir was incredibly warm and respectful right from the beginning. He made sure I felt comfortable on set and treated every scene, no matter how small, with sincerity." Recalling a moment which made a huge impact on her, during the making, Priya said, "There was a close-up scene of mine, and even though he wasn't in the frame, he stayed back just to give me cues. That rarely happens. He even called me personally to ask if I wanted another take, just to make sure I was happy." The actress also had a similar experience with Kay Kay Menon . She said, 'KK Menon sir waited almost half an hour just to give one look in my close-up shot, even though he wasn't going to be seen. I feel really lucky to have worked with such grounded, generous actors — it teaches you so much, not just about acting, but about being a better co-actor." She also opened up on her character and said, 'So many people wrote to me saying Gudiya reminded them of a silent sister, a daughter who never complains, someone holding the family together. I think people aren't used to seeing such simplicity anymore — and that's exactly what made Gudiya feel so real.'
