Defying traditional roles

Abhishek recently spoke about his marriage on a podcast with actor and YouTuber Lilly Singh. He highlighted the importance of partnership and mutual respect in their relationship. Abhishek expressed that traditional gender roles never defined their marriage. He mentioned that his 'severe ego' played a role in ensuring that his sense of self was not dependent on making Aishwarya feel less accomplished.

He elaborated, "I have never been the kind of person who believes that somebody else will have to give up or stop running for me to win that race. My wife is also somebody who doesn't think like that either." This approach, he explained, stemmed from his upbringing where his mother was a bigger star than his father at the time of their marriage.

Parenting approach

Abhishek also shared insights into their parenting style. He joked about being a 'lousy teacher,' acknowledging that men often lack the sensitivity women have. He emphasised leading by example for their daughter Aaradhya, saying, "You set an example by doing. In my home, both of us try to be the best example for Aaradhya."

He added humorously, "In that sense, it has never been like I have to teach her self-defence. If you have seen my wife, she can take care of herself." The couple believes in living by morals and values, ensuring there is no competition about who plays which role at home.

Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai were married on April 20, 2007 in a grand ceremony at their Mumbai house.
