Abhishek: "Aishwarya Does The Heavy-Lifting At Home" - Page 3

Abhishek might well be sexist, but what exactly is the heavy lifting peeps here are imagining Aish doing?

Hero's fans used to hate on wives before. Aish fans hate on her hubby, whom she seems quite happy with. I mean, what the heck did y'all want for her?

At this point, I'd say that tree is the lucky one.

Wasn’t the tree chopped down soon after?

That’s what happens usually in those ceremonies

When it comes to anything Bachchan this forum is always ready to attack. Sometimes it’s very justified. This time it’s not.

Nothing in Abhishek’s statement suggests that Aish is some stereotypical housewife who cooks, cleans, and takes care of everything while he’s out there enjoying his life. He’s talking about handling their daughter and her coming of age and everything that comes with becoming a teenager. He’s said this before even when Aaradhya was a baby. He said he’s only changed a diaper a few times because Aishwarya is always on top of things and wants to do it all herself. And how many times have we discussed Ash and her daughter here on IF calling her clingy and overprotective? He’s not being patriarchal or implying or suggesting that this is how it should be. The fact that he said she’s giving him the freedom to go out and work actually suggests that she doesn’t have to do this if she didn’t want to.

Even having her parent while he goes to work is backwards. Him describing it as an ideal situation is. Duh I know Bachchan’s have servants to do domestic work. But parenting among other things should be the responsibility of both parents. Heavy lifting at home while I go to work should very backwards to me.

What parenting are we even talking about? Doesn't the kid go to school?

Ok, maybe Aish is the one paying attention to grades and extracurricular and so on. There's never going to be a situation where both are going to split these 50/50 down the middle. I mean it would be nice, but it doesn't work like that in real world.

It depends a whole lot how much parental involvement each person thinks is essential, kids interests and so on.

Aish is clearly a helicopter. Does Abhi need to match her and be a male helicopter?

If Aradhya had been a boy and interested in soccer, do you imagine Aish would've been the one playing with him?

Maybe Aish places importance on grades and Abhi doesn't think grades are important.

Maybe Aish thinks kid should be taken to social functions and Abhi would prefer she stayed home.

Maybe Aish is the disciplinarian. Maybe she worries a lot.

This insistence on everything being tape measured and divided in halves is very very weird. A disinterested parent is a problem. Otherwise, parenting has to be done by interests of kid and personality of parent. In my own childhood, my dad was extremely involved in making sure we read a lot and read diversly. My mom was on top of us for grades. Neither gave a damn about sports. Dad didn't care if we didn't meet any family. Mom would drag us to every family event. He would tell her you go if you want, I'm not going. Yeah, this included his own fam events because he preferred to yell at the news anchor about the news instead of attending some 2nd cousin's wedding. I sure didn't feel any of it was a result of patriarchy. And I would've preferred to yell at the TV with him.

So.....as a newbie, does this forum do other cool things other than worship SRK and bash Men for harmless statements?

It's like everyone is a feminist except when SRKs films release.

OT: It was just a compliment towards his partner....didn't mean anything. Couples do it all the time. Stop the melodrama!!!

Ash has given up her career and lost complete interest. Dunno if she does this voluntarily or bachchans prefer her to lay low so that Abhishek can be in limelight. 😬

Coz when Ash and Abhi are together at an event all everyone’s interested in is Ash. So maybe ash feels the need to stay away so as not to steal the attention. 🤷🏻‍♀️

This seems most likely since even Aaradhya is older now and she will be in school most of the time and have her own stuff. Wonder what Ash does all the time sitting at home. Leave films, ash hardly even attends any functions/premieres/ weddings etc

Aww someone should make Abhiman 2.0 with Abhi and Aish 😭😭

Didn’t have to guess that. Look what she did to her career post marriage and worse after becoming a mother. She barely is doing movies, keeps rejecting everything. And does only ones where directors (like ADHM, Jazbaa, Fanney khan) can work around her mommy duties *rolls eyes*

The only one she seems to have committed fully is PS, and thats only for Mani. Its sad because you can see what she is capable of here

I feel like most women, she feels like if she becomes more successful it would cause ego issues in her husband and would make it difficult for her at home. You could sense that in interviews when they are talking about her superstardom as opposed to her husband, and she will be no he is amazing and the best.. blah blah.

When is he describing it as an ideal situation? He’s being more descriptive than anything.

Why or how did everyone reach the conclusion that Ash doesn’t have a choice in how she’s leading her life? She’s a very overprotective, clingy, helicopter mom and I think that’s just how she is. Nothing about any of their interviews suggests that she’s been forced or pressured to do this. All Abhishek is doing here is giving his wife credit for the mom and partner that she is. Suddenly he’s the bad guy because he said his wife allows him go out there and work 🤔
