Throwback: When Abhishek Bachchan spoke about being 'Torn' between Aishwarya Rai and Jaya Bachchan

Amid the persistent divorce rumors surrounding Bollywood power couple Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, an old interview has resurfaced, stirring public attention once again. In this viral video, Abhishek candidly discussed the challenges of balancing the relationships between his mother, veteran actress Jaya Bachchan, and his wife, international icon Aishwarya Rai. The clip has reignited speculations about the couple's personal life, even as they continue to make public appearances together as a family.
The video in question is from an earlier interview where Abhishek humorously opened up about being caught between two strong women in his life—his mother, an acclaimed actress with a legacy of her own, and his wife, a global superstar and former Miss World.He jokingly revealed that navigating these relationships can sometimes be tricky, but praised both women for their understanding and closeness.
As the video gained traction online, it further fueled ongoing rumors of marital discord between Abhishek and Aishwarya. While some social media users dismissed the rumors as baseless gossip, others expressed curiosity about the couple's relationship status. Despite the speculation, neither Abhishek nor Aishwarya has addressed the rumors publicly, and they continue to be seen attending family events together, projecting a united front.
In the viral video, when Abhishek was asked by Karan Joharon his talk show, whether he ever felt conflicted between his wife, sister Shweta Bachchan Nanda, and his mother, he gracefully responded: “I think credit has to be given entirely to the girls. I have very little to do with it. What also works is that Maa and Aishwarya are very close. They talk about everything. When a woman first comes to her husband’s house, she feels a bit out of place, evidently and obviously. I think the only person who can truly fill that void is her mother-in-law.”
This light-hearted yet insightful moment from Abhishek Bachchan sheds light on the dynamics within the Bachchan family, while also highlighting the challenges of managing personal relationships under the constant scrutiny of public life.
