'Excuse Me, I'm Talking': Shweta Bachchan Snaps At Navya During Talk Show; Reddit Says 'Aishwarya Must Be…'
Jaya Bachchan and Shweta Bachchan's chat on Navya Nanda's show went viral, sparking Reddit debates about Aishwarya Rai Bachchan's relationship with her in-laws and family dynamics. Jaya Bachchan and Shweta Bachchan's candid conversations on Navya Nanda's talk show often go viral on the web. It was during one such moment when Shweta snapped at her daughter for interrupting her while she was trying to make a point. The clip is going viral on Reddit, and as expected, social media users brought up Aishwarya Rai Bachchan into the conversation. The video clip started with Jaya Bachchan expressing her concern over how there is too much information on everything nowadays. Shweta tried to pick it up from there when her daughter, Navya, interrupted her. Shweta sternly told her, 'Excuse me, I am talking. Please don't cut me off." Navya immediately apologised. However, Reddit users seemed divided. While some commented on how Aishwarya deals with her in-laws, others found the conversation quite normal. 'I'm getting anxiety imagining myself as the bahu of that household already. And I am a man," wrote a user, supporting Aishwarya. 'Imagine coming out from an physically abusive relationship to get married in a mentally/emotionally toxic max family. Bhagwan ne sundarta di toh sukun nahi diya," wrote another. Other users wrote, 'Imagine if this made to the final cut, how much toxicity had to be edited and removed from the entire bit!!!!!", 'Aish is strong. Strong enough to avoid these 3 completely." Then there were those who called the altercation a regular, normal situation in every household. Supporting the Bachchans, they wrote, 'Why are people pretending like they have never had any arguments like these with their parents or siblings?", 'Tbh this seems like pretty much normal family argument like me, my mother and my nani have arguments like that where we all talk at the same time and didn't let other complete the sentence!", 'I saw this on insta and was disappointed seeing the comments cos everyone was talking about how toxic this is, but for me this is normal cos this is literally how me and mom talk when we sit together." Meanwhile, all through last year, Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan have braved divorce rumours. This year, they quashed speculations about their marriage by posting a family photo after a long time. Apart from this, Aishwarya also wore sindoor with her saree look at Cannes 2025, which many thought was her silent response to divorce speculations.

Did Lata Mangeshkar try to push down new singers? Anuradha Paudwal dismisses speculation, says ‘they should try to sing like her'
Iconic human beings often end up being polarising individuals, as their wide reach also pulls in people who might not agree with their practices or believe in their greatness. Lata Mangeshkar was definitely one of those singers who through her voice, moved an entire country, and through her actions, received praise, love and sometimes criticism. While there are some who think that Mangeshkar's unchallenged domination is the result of some larger scheme. There are some, like singer Anuradha Paudwal, who refuse the existence of any such actions or plans and continue to defend the icon even now. While talking to BBC Hindi, Anuradha reflected on her career as a playback singer, how an opportunity that presented itself out of nowhere when SD Burman listened to her voice on a tape recorder. She shared, 'When Burman sahab was composing the music for Abhimaan (1973), he wanted a small shloka (stanza) for the introductory scene of Jaya Bachchan. He asked my husband (Arun Paudwal), who was his music arranger, to come up with something, and he did, but while sending the recording to him, he asked me to record it in my voice. The moment he heard my voice, he asked Arun about me and told him that he didn't need Lata ji for such a small part and that I should sing it, and that's how things started for me.' ALSO READ: Britney Spears and Lata Mangeshkar share the same connection that Parineeta the film and Louis Armstrong do, and it has to do with cheating Getting to sing something that was originally planned for Mangeshkar is an honour in itself, no matter how small the part is, and Anuradha acknowledges this. When asked about people's speculations about Mangeshkar and Bhosle's careers and whether they deliberately pushed talent down in order to serve their longevity, Anuradha quickly shut down the allegations. She said, 'Lata ji is like my guru, and she will always remain so, and I learnt singing hearing her sing the Bhagavad Gita. The people who think that she was throwing her weight around or pushing people down should try and sing like her. How many people could do what she did with her voice? People have their peaks, and just because these two sisters had such a long career, you can't undermine them. Even at this age, Asha ji practises every day, and doubting the two of them is extremely foolish.' Throughout her illustrious career, Mangeshkar remained very vocal about what she felt was fair and unfair in the industry. Her demanding royalty payments as a singer were one of the most impactful things to happen in Bollywood music for a long time, and even though it divided the industry back then, her actions laid the groundwork for giving singers their due.

When Amitabh Bachchan Said Amid Tensions With Jaya And Rekha, "Don't Believe In Divorce"
Amitabh Bachchan, Jaya Bachchan and Rekha - the off-screen dynamics of the trio keep find its way to the headlines, even in 2025. Yash Chopra cast the terrific trio in his classic Silsila (1981). The film is rumoured to mirror the tensions of Big B's real life featuring his wife Jaya Bachchan and co-star Rekha. Addressing the tensions, Amitabh Bachchan once said that he doesn't "believe" in divorce. What's Happening Famous Biographer Yasser Usman in his book Rekha: The Untold Story once documented what Jaya Bachchan told addressing the rumoured affair between Big B and Rekha. "Let the whole world say what they want. He [Amitabh Bachchan] has made a commitment to me and he has to have the courage (to say he's in love with somebody else!), and if he is doing something behind my back, it's his problem. Not my problem. He has to live with it. And with his conscience," an excerpt from the book read. In the same book, Yaseer Usman talked about how Rekha kept the media abuzz with an anecdote of her encountering Jaya Bachchan at their house. "This is the closest that Amitabh ever came to even admitting that all was not well in the Bachchan household. But Rekha kept fuelling the media fire. In an interview with Stardust, she made a strange claim: that Jaya had invited her over to the Bachchan home one day. 'Jaya did not mind the relationship as long as she thought her husband was only having a fling. It's when she realised that he was really emotionally involved, that is when it began hurting her. She called me for dinner one evening and though we spoke about everything but him, before I left that day, she made sure to tell me, 'I will never leave Amit whatever happens'." While Rekha and Jaya Bachchan handled the media in their own way, Amitabh Bachchan said that divorce was not the option they were looking for. "A divorce will never happen in our case. I don't believe in divorce because my basic instincts are Indian. I made an absolutely first-class choice when I took Jaya as my wife'," according to Yaseer Usman's book. In A Nutshell Amitabh Bachchan once addressed the tensions between his wife Jaya Bachchan and Rekha, and categorically said he doesn't believe in divorce.
