The Foundation of Partnership
Abhishek Bachchan has opened up about his equation with Aishwarya Rai , with whom he has been married for nearly two decades. The couple have acted in several movies and has a daughter named Aaradhya. In a new conversation with Lilly Singh, Abhishek opened up about how there was no competition about their careers, who was more successful between the two, from the very beginning of their bond.
Earning Success Independently
He continued, “When we did finally come together through our courtship, engagement and then our marriage, it was always about a partnership. There has never been a discussion like, ‘I am going to bring the food and you take care of the house.’ It’s not even discussed; it flows very naturally. But that comes from severe ego, for me. I am not somebody who wants to win because someone else laid down and so you walk over. I was raised to believe that you earn your wins. My father did not launch me and has not made a film for me to date. In fact, I produced a film for him. I am glad. Whatever I am today, I can say I have achieved it on my own merit. The reason I say ego is I have never been the kind of person that somebody else has to give up or stop running for me to win that race.”
Maintaining Privacy Over the Years
Abhishek and Aishwarya first met in the early 2000s and went on to collaborate on films such as Dhoom 2 and Guru. They got married in April 2007 and welcomed their daughter, Aaradhya, in 2011. Over the years, the couple has largely maintained privacy around their personal lives, choosing to address rumours only occasionally.
Abhishek Bachchan’s perspective offers a refreshing take on celebrity marriages, emphasizing partnership and individual achievement. His comments provide insight into the couple’s dynamics and their commitment to maintaining a private life amidst public scrutiny.
