Amitabh Bachchan explained his reason for not publicly praising Aishwarya, Jaya, and Shweta as a sign of respect for women.
Amitabh Bachchan: Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan is known for his calm demeanor, polite language, and measured responses. However, a recent question on social media sparked a significant online discussion. The question was: "You always praise your son, Abhishek Bachchan, but never your daughter-in-law Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, wife Jaya Bachchan, or daughter Shweta Nanda?"
Bachchan's response was not only honest but also showcased the depth of Indian culture and personal beliefs.
Why the Questions about Praising Abhishek?
Recently, Amitabh Bachchan shared pictures on his Instagram account of him meeting fans outside his residence, 'Jalsa'. His caption read, "Yes, I praise Abhishek...so?" A user commented, "Then you should praise your daughter, daughter-in-law, and wife the same way."
Many anticipated Bachchan might ignore the question. However, his response prompted widespread reflection.
The Social Media Debate
Big B's post elicited varied reactions. While some trolled him, calling his fans "paid fans," many found his response "civilized and balanced."
When a user called the fans outside 'Jalsa' "unemployed," Bachchan responded politely, "Then give them jobs? When they stand at the gate, they stand in love."
Pride in Abhishek Bachchan Reiterated
Amitabh Bachchan has always appreciated his son Abhishek's talent and hard work. When a user called Abhishek the "most mature and responsible member of the family," Big B agreed, writing, "He has love, respect, dignity, and care for everyone in his heart."
But Why the Silence on Aishwarya Rai?
Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, an international icon and one of Indian cinema's most celebrated actresses, often seems to lack public praise from Amitabh Bachchan. This has frequently led fans to question why he doesn't publicly appreciate her as much.
Bachchan clarified that he appreciates women "from the heart" but not "publicly," reflecting a personal belief that publicly praising women is less important than respecting them.
A Sharp Rebuttal to Trolls
Another user sarcastically commented that the crowd around Amitabh was comprised of "paid fans." Bachchan retorted, "Prove it! You think small...why don't you bring your own fans by paying them?"
Similarly, when someone labeled the people outside 'Jalsa' as "unemployed," he immediately replied, "Then give them jobs? When they stand at the gate, they stand in love."
These responses once again demonstrated Bachchan's prowess not only as a brilliant actor but also as a highly perceptive figure in the social and digital world.
