Today, as Aaradhya turns 14, we delve into Abhishek's exclusive chat with ETimes, where he credits his wife, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, for raising their daughter with a sense of normalcy despite their legendary film family background.
A Normal Childhood in the Spotlight
Born in 2011, Aaradhya has been in the public eye since day one. Yet, her parents have ensured that she leads a life as close to ordinary as possible. Abhishek shares, "Her mother has seamlessly integrated her into this world. Aishwarya handled it beautifully, making sure it wasn't a big deal that both sets of grandparents were from the film industry."
Aishwarya's Role: The Unsung Hero
Abhishek goes on to praise his wife's parenting skills, saying, "She allows me to pursue my passion for filmmaking while taking excellent care of Aaradhya. I owe the credit for Aaradhya's normalcy entirely to my wife."
But Here's Where It Gets Controversial...
When asked if Aaradhya watches his movies, Abhishek reveals an interesting insight. He says, "She's content playing, going to school, and interacting with friends. She's not compelled to watch movies; she's happy doing other things."
And This Is the Part Most People Miss...
Abhishek's statement hints at a potential controversy. In a world where celebrity kids are often pushed into the limelight, is it possible to raise them with a sense of normalcy? Abhishek seems to think so, and his approach is certainly thought-provoking.
