Why does Aishwarya Rai look sad all the time? - Page 10

I read a very old interview of hers once. I think I was only 11 then, early 2000s. She didn't seem any interested in entering BW, she sounded like it was something beneath her. It was some woman’s magazine, Femina I think. Can’t remember. I liked Karishma and Kareena as a kid so I was disappointed 😭

I think that is a natural human behavior, when they cant get something, they try to make that thing beneath them, you see people say the same thing about marriage too when in reality they cant get anyone to get married to.. It hurt less ..

Yes. Jaya had said 'she's taking it all in, she is quiet, she listens, she stands behind' when she spoke of Ash in KWK. And Amitabh called her 'domesticated' in many TV interviews.

Amitabh was criticised a lot for using that word for Ash back then. It is kind of sexist to call any human 'domesticated'.

The old couple is orthodox in their expectations from women of their family. In Rendezvous interviews too they admitted Jaya was much stricter with Shweta than she was with Abhishek as a mother.

Most film clans are patriarchal. Pataudis, Akhtars, Azmis, Kajol and Rani's parental families etc are few film families that allow their women to work. Others keep their women away from film industry atleast if not any other field. Kapoors, Bachchans, Chopras, Dutts, Khanna etc none allowed women to work in films. Dimple resumed work only after she began to live separately from Rajesh (who admitted he had turned away producers who would come to offer work to his wife). Karishma and Kareena defied their family simply due to their mother Babita living separately and supporting them to work in films.

Yash Chopra had banned women from his family from entering film sets and studios. Had he been alive, I feel it would have been hard for Rani to even do Mardaani or any YRF film after marriage to Aditya considering how strict Yash Chopra was about not allowing family women on sets of films.

The industry is mostly full of such conservative clans or maybe they are not keen on their women doing films because they feel it is 'not a good place for women' or they want their own daughters, sisters, mothers, DILs etc to behave a certain way.

I think once an actor had also admitted he never saw his mom's films as a kid because he could not see his mom with other men in films. This is mindset of most film clans where star sons also do not seem keen on celebrating legacy of their moms as actresses. I cannot recall which star son gave that interview...but it was a couple of years ago.

As an audience I was never concerned about behind the silver screen drama and watched interviews very rarely. Reading this was quite an eye opener for me.

Now, I can only say that for generations role models in our society have been nothing but hypocrites.

But then may be she did think it was or thought she wasn't cut for it. How can we assume?

Also, the amount of criticism one has to face in the industry, esp regarding looks for women. It can mess up anyone. Not everyone will be happy with it.

Abhishek said recently aishwarya said to him She Will take care of aradhya and he has to work and act. And that s It . I dont think bachchan family interfere that much in Aishwarya carrer and films. Its aishwarya herself who decide in her mature way. And even One of her old friend the ad pralad kakkar said aishwarya Is more conservative than bachchan family in 2007 when abhi Ash married. I believe it

I think so too, she is always talking about family values everywhere in her international interviews. I think she believes in it too.

Also, I think due to her age, the kind of roles she gets must be limited. She was the only good thing about ADHM, she was excellent in Jazba and Sarabjit too. This is good work IMO.

Yes Amitabh is shit as a person.

He is MCP and pervert. Some years ago his old non veg jokes tweets went viral and he was caught liking p*rn linked tweets on Twitter. When screenshots went viral he got his staff to delete his old likes and tweets and claimed his account was hacked.

He is usually condescending towards women. Got flak when he said Gita Gopinath was so pretty that it was hard to believe such a good looking woman could be IMF chief economist.

He was openly tharki in first season of KBC and often used to look for excuses to hold hands or touch young, prettier woman contestants.

And his letter to Navya omitting any reference to female family members when he reminded her of her legacy was crap. He rightfully got backlash and several articles were written on how he omitted mothers and grandmothers from his letter. Ironically he would have been nowhere in acting if his mom Teji had no interest in drama and did not take him along to perform with her on stage and did not use her friendship with Indira Gandhi to get personalised recommendation letter from her asking producers to consider casting Amitabh in films. But he did not mention her or Jaya in his open letter to Navya.

There is nothing wrong with having to make compromises for family or yield to family pressure especially if your career is not doing that good anymore anyway.

I am not holding anything against Ash. It's her in laws who are AHEM AHEM.

Amitabh also does not get along with his younger brother and his family.

It's all about him as sole thekedaar of his dad's legacy. Domineering, overbearing megalomaniac patriarch.

Upay maybe personal beliefs but atleast they can be done without letting anyone know about it unlike Ash who was paraded in public and became a subject of jokes then. It must have been humiliating as Sr Bachchan did not ensure privacy for her during upay, totke he made her do.

As for his real life cases and crimes, he deserved to be jailed given gravity of his offences. Amused how Salman gets more flak than this man. Probably because his cases happened in 80s when there was no media.

Yes Shweta is closer to her father than mother. In all their interviews Bachchan siblings admit Jaya was stricter with Shweta and admonished her more while she gave leeway to Abhishek and had no heart to get angry at him or scold him. Shweta was grounded more than Abhishek as a kid.

Seems like typical desi household where mother is tougher towards daughter who is also first born and hence expected to be more responsible while son is maa da laadla.

Amitabh loves his son a lot but is softer towards Shweta compared to Jaya's behaviour towards Shweta. Typical protective dad.

Oh please Ash is very very rich , she has no requirement to work, plus she became famous for her looks not talent and that can take you only so far, nobody writes roles for her because she is 40+ and can't act. Look at Tabu or hell even Neena Gupta, they have talent plus they want/need to work.

Ash has a 10 year old who is taking it easy and doing only Cannes, as for the Bachchans and her go, it was a mutual association where both used each other, nobody messes with a Bachchan bahu so she was safe and let's face it before that she was ostracized from a lot of films and she never came from a powerful family. Abhishek made a lot of money through endorsement during the couple's first few years of marriage.

I am not a fan of Ash, but all said and done she is a self made woman and just let her be,her life her daughter, her family
