Aishwarya Rai Wished To Be Like Jaya Bachchan, Said, ‘If They Are Embarrassed Seeing What I Did…’
In a throwback interview, Aishwarya Rai spoke about her wish to be remembered like Jaya Bachchan.
Gorgeous actress and former Miss World, Aishwarya Rai, has been winning millions of hearts with her charismatic personality. In 2007, she added Bachchan to her surname after marrying Abhishek Bachchan. In 2011, the couple jumped into parenthood and welcomed their daughter, Aaradhya Bachchan.
When Aishwarya Rai expressed her wish to be like Jaya Bachchan
Aishwarya Rai is known for being very choosy when it comes to selecting her roles. The actress, who is hailed for her beauty, has been quite vocal about refraining from exposing herself on camera. Since the beginning of her career in Bollywood, Aishwarya has not taken on projects which demand her to do intimate scenes on-screen.
Now, an old interview of Aishwarya is going viral on Reddit, in which she spoke about her decision to protect her image by not taking up bold roles. Speaking to a leading publication, Aishwarya expressed her desire to be like Jaya Bachchan and Hema Malini. In her words:
“I won’t discard my image with my clothes. I will be happy even I get no work. Certain things have to be private for the man you love, the family you go to as a daughter-in-law and finally, as a mother. If tomorrow, they are embarrassed seeing what I did on screen, I would be ashamed. My stardom will last another 10 years, but my family life will last for the rest of my life. I want to be a Hema Malini or a Jaya Bachchan and be remembered like that.”
Aishwarya Rai’s take on doing bold roles in ‘Ae Dil Hai Mushkil’
Though Aishwarya has often refrained from choosing bold roles, her appearance in Ae Dil Hai Mushkil raised many eyebrows. In the film, her steamy scenes with Ranbir Kapoor became a hot topic of discussion. Later, in an interview with a leading daily, the actress explained why she agreed to do Ae Dil Hai Mushkil and stated that she is close friends with director, Karan Johar and has wanted to work with him for a long time.
When Jaya Bachchan took an indirect dig at Aishwarya Rai’s bold roles in ‘Ae Dil Hai Mushkil’
However, Aishwarya’s mother-in-law, Jaya Bachchan, once seemingly took an indirect dig at the former as she slammed the intimate scenes in movies. During her appearance at the Jio MAMI 18th Mumbai Film Festival, Jaya Bachchan heaped praise on Bimal Roy and the kind of work she has done. Jaya Bachchan also expressed her displeasure over present-day films and stated that filmmaking today is mostly about business, and people no longer care about anything else other than numbers.
In the same interaction, Jaya also said that an open display of love and affection is tagged as ‘smart’ in today’s world. Although she never openly mentioned anything about Aishwarya or ADHM, her take on the explicit scenes in movies was seemingly a sneaky dig at the same time. Jaya could be quoted as saying:
“Earlier, filmmakers created art. Today, it’s a business and all about numbers. Everything is thrown at our face. People have forgotten subtlety. Open display of affection is considered smart… sharam naam ki toh cheez hee nahi hai.”
For the past many months, there have been constant rumours about trouble in Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai’s paradise. The reason is cited to be the actress’s soured relationship with her mother-in-law, Jaya Bachchan.

3 Reasons Why Virat Kohli Is An Ideal Husband
In the tapestry of life, where moments are woven with threads of joy, sorrow, triumphs, and trials, there comes a rare instance when one thread shines brighter than the others, not because of its color or texture, but for the story it tells. This is the story of Virat Kohli, not the cricket maestro whose name echoes in stadiums worldwide, but Virat the man, the husband, whose life off the pitch resonates with a different kind of applause. In a world where the spotlight often blurs the lines between persona and person, Kohli stands as a beacon of normalcy, a reminder that beneath the layers of fame and fortune lies a human heart, beating in rhythm with the ordinary. His journey with Anushka Sharma, captured in fleeting moments like a simple stroll in London, where he holds shopping bags with the same ease he holds a cricket bat, speaks volumes. It’s not just about the act but the sentiment behind it – a silent declaration of partnership, equality, and love. Here, in these unscripted moments, we find Virat Kohli, not the icon, but the ideal husband, a role he plays with as much passion as he does his sport, reminding us all of the beauty in simplicity, the strength in support, and the power of love in its most human form. Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma: Respect and Equality Virat Kohli’s relationship with Anushka Sharma is often cited as a model of respect and equality. In a world where gender roles can still dictate behavior, Kohli has consistently demonstrated that he views his partnership with Anushka as one of equals. Whether it’s publicly supporting her career moves or sharing household responsibilities, his actions speak volumes about his belief in partnership. The recent video of him carrying shopping bags while Anushka crosses the road is just one of many instances where he’s shown that he values her comfort and convenience as much as his own. This mutual respect is a cornerstone of any ideal relationship, making Kohli a role model for many. Support and Encouragement Kohli’s support for Anushka’s career and personal growth is another testament to his ideal husband status. From attending her movie premieres to publicly praising her work, he’s always been her biggest cheerleader. This support extends beyond professional life; Kohli has been vocal about how Anushka’s influence has helped him grow personally and professionally. His acknowledgment of her role in his life, especially in managing his mental health and career, highlights a deep, supportive partnership where both individuals uplift each other. This level of support is rare and deeply admired. Privacy and Protection In an era where every aspect of a celebrity’s life is under scrutiny, Kohli’s efforts to keep his family life private, especially concerning their children, Vamika and Akaay, show a protective side that resonates with the ideal husband archetype. He and Anushka have made conscious decisions to shield their children from the media glare, reflecting a commitment to their family’s well-being over public perception. This protective stance, coupled with his public displays of affection and respect towards Anushka, paints a picture of a man deeply committed to his family’s happiness and security. Virat Kohli’s portrayal as the ideal husband isn’t just about grand gestures; it’s about the consistent, everyday choices he makes that prioritize his relationship with Anushka. His actions reflect a modern understanding of marriage where respect, support, and privacy are paramount. While no relationship is perfect, Kohli’s approach to his marriage sets a benchmark for what many aspire to in their own partnerships. His journey with Anushka, filled with mutual growth, respect, and love, continues to inspire fans and followers worldwide, making him not just a cricketing legend but a figure of admiration in the realm of personal relationships.
