Aishwarya Rai, Aaradhya 'complete' me: Abhishek Bachchan

What do celebrities do when they have to field some weird questions from the media and fans. The hypothetical questions are the worst of the lot, we would assume.


Recently, while Abhishek Bachchan was live in the 92.7 Big FM studio in Mumbai, he was asked whom would he choose if asked to pick between his daughter Aaradhya Bachchan and his wife Aishwarya Rai.


To give full credit to Abhishek, he took the question seriously and came up with the quote of the week.


He responded: “No father on the earth can ever answer a question like that. Both are an integral part of my life and I need both of them to complete me.”


Kudos to Abhishek for not responding with a corny line but answering straight from the heart.


Abhishek has definitely come of age when it comes to handling the media.


Ever since the circus around Aishwarya's weight issues have begun, he has mostly stayed away from making too many comments about both Aishwarya and his daughter. But when he has commented, the world has listened.


He was quite understandably upset over the 'insensitive' comments made about his wife and the mother of his daughter over the fact that she wasn't losing her post-pregnancy weight soon enough.


Later when he was asked why they were hiding Aaradhya's looks from the world, he quite clearly said that his daughter was not a commodity to be displayed to the world.


Aaradhya's father spoke candidly about the family's intentions regarding the precious Beti B.


Both Abhishek and Aishwarya feel that their eight-month-old daughter is not an "item to be displayed". They claim they have not been hiding their daughter since her birth on November 16, 2011, but, at the same time, they don't want to show off their daughter to the public or release images. They want to give their daughter a normal childhood.


"I am not comfortable with that, I don't need to show her off. She is not an item that she has to be put up to display. She is a child and Aishwarya and I would like her to grow up as normal as possible,"


Father Abhishek probably understands what Aaradhya is likely to face all her life. After all, he too is a star son, considering that he is the offspring of Bollywood stalwarts like Jaya and Amitabh Bachchan. He told the news agency: "I do understand that her parents and grandparents are public figures but she is not yet and let her enjoy that. I have grown up in this industry and have been in this position so I understand the curiosity."


Meanwhile, Aishwarya has taken a long hiatus from acting and has been looking after her daughter's needs from Day 1.


Aishwarya and Abhishek did not even hire a nanny for their baby. Abhishek spends quality time with the baby when Aishwarya has to make a rare appearance to keep her brand endorsement commitments or a social-do that she cannot ignore.


Junior Bachchan does not mince his words and he should be lauded for the stand that he has taken so far.

Patna, Jun 27: As Sushant Singh Rajput’s family tries to come to terms with his loss, they have decided to honour his legacy and celebrate his passion for cinema, science and sports.

In an emotional statement shared on Saturday, the Bollywood actor’s family remembered him as a “free-spirited” person who worked hard to turn his dreams into reality.

“He was free-spirited, talkative and incredibly bright. He was curious about just everything. He dreamed without restraints, and chased those dreams with the heart of a lion. He smiled generously. He was the pride and inspiration of the family,” the statement read.

Rajput, 34, known for films like Kai Po Che!, MS Dhoni: The Untold Story and Chhichhore, was found dead in his Bandra apartment on June 14, sending shockwaves in the film industry and elsewhere.

The family said that the actor’s untimely demise has created an irreparable void in their lives.

“We can’t bring ourselves to accept that we wouldn’t get to hear his easy laughs anymore. That we wouldn’t see his sparkling eyes again. That we wouldn’t hear his endless rants about science again. His loss has created a permanent, glaring void in the family that will never be filled.”

Thanking his admirers for being a constant support as they try and recover from the loss, the family added that Rajput, “truly loved and cherished every single one of his fans.”

The actor, who made the storybook transition from Patna boy to television and then the starry lights of the Hindi film industry, was the youngest of five siblings and is survived by his father and four sisters. His mother had passed away in 2002 when he was a young teen.

To honour his memory and legacy, the family has decided to set up Sushant Singh Rajput Foundation (SSRF) that will support young talents in cinema, science and sports.

His childhood home in Rajiv Nagar, Patna, will be turned into a memorial, where all his personal memorabilia and belongings, that include thousands of books, his Meade 14’’ LX-600 telescope, flight-simulator, will be on display for his fans and admirers.

The actor’s family, who used to fondly call him Gulshan, will also maintain his social media accounts as legacy accounts to keep his memories alive.

Rajput started his acting career with television after dropping out from Delhi Technological University in the early 2000s. He was one of the few talents to have made a successful transition to movies.

The actor made his Bollywood debut in 2013 with Kai Po Che!. In past seven years, he had featured in a number of hits including blockbusters Neeraj Pandey’s MS Dhoni: The Untold Story and Chhichhore by Nitesh Tiwari.

Tiwari’s 2019 hit was Rajput’s last theatrical release.

On Thursday, it was announced that Dil Bechara, which is the actor’s last movie he shot for, will premiere on Disney + Hotstar on July 24.

Mumbai, Jan 13: On the ongoing protests against new Citizenship Law, Bollywood actor Zeeshan Ayub said that everyone has been exposed and the common man has understood everything and the right-wing people cannot make a fool out of them by giving vague statements.

Talking to ANI, Zeeshan said, "Law is supposed to give the citizenship but the way in which the criteria have been changed is the trouble here."

Disagreeing to the continuous statements put forward by the BJP government that CAA is not a hindrance to the citizenship, the actor further said, Things are clear now, people have now understood the facts, the people and the intention behind are now exposed,.. they can't make a fool out of common people any more."

Zeeshan said it actually the other way round, those people are the ones who are misleading the general public by fluctuating their own statements. "Home minister said something, the next day something else is being said in the Ram leela..people are getting confused., the 'Ranjahanna' actor added.

He further said, "Earlier it was Hindu-Muslim propaganda, but that didn't work, so now you are making it a case between two political parties.. basically you are changing your own statements." When asked about his take on the ongoing JNU Violence, the actor said the members of the alleged political party itself have come out and explained their part in the case and yet no action has been taken.

The actor finally said that people should develop a sense of humanity.
