Abhishek: "Aishwarya Does The Heavy-Lifting At Home" - Page 5

So Aish decides not to do more films, and it's automatically because she didn't want to outshine her hubby?

Could it have been because, I don't know, she's a frigging helicopter parent hovering over daughter every minute of the day?

Or is parenting also now evidence of internalized patriarchy?

I swear, the world has gone nuts.

Women have to take responsibility for their own decisions. Feminism is not just equal rights. Equal responsibility is also part of it.

Funny thing is Aish doesn't seem to have any issue being held responsible for what she decides to do with her life.

Bacchans have a proper staff of servants..if anyone thinks Aishwarya is the one cooking and cleaning dishes god you gotta be kidding me and Aish seems like a helicopter mom and almost obsessed with Aru…for all you know she voluntarily doesn’t want Abhi to help either

so she's not cooking on the choola and manjoing bartan?

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.

It is evident that motherhood has been a blessing for Ash. She seems happy and content. If she chooses to stay at home with the kid, full props to her. As a former Miss World and someone touted as the most beautiful woman of the world, it is refreshing to see she is not clutching on to her beauty and being desperate & insecure.

This forum always laughed at Ash and her acting and now that she is focusing on her home, people arent happy either! Amusing

There is no shame in being a traditional woman and raise kids esp when she has earned millions of $$$ already during her prime and can afford tk sit at hime the rest of her life. She is not an ordinary housewife who is financially dependent on husband. If given a chance, many working women would love to have the opportunity to tend to kids and families quitting their jobs.

The new age feminists need to take a chill and stop terming everything as domestic abuse and patriarchal dominance when the women in question are uber rich and powerful than most of the women of the world.

I feel Ash is not letting the poor guy get involved at all...I mean when it comes to parenting ,she gives me the vibe of people who want to do everything by themselves and are not satisfied otherwise.

I don’t understand this logic. If Aish wants to be a mother or even a housewife and is happy doing it how’s that our business?? Why can’t she do what she wants and what makes her happy without being judged for it or other’s feelings sorry for her. I have seen this notion of up lifting women but only if they are doing what some perceive to be acceptable for some “feminists” Why put down any woman who choose their families over careers. What sorta of feminism is judging and mocking women because they are happier being a stay at home mom?? I have seen people ridiculing women who choose to stay home, cook and clean and look after their kids while the husband provides and pay the bills. If this is what works for a person who are we to judge their decisions and feel sorry for them or worse mock them. Are they not adults who are more than capable making their own decisions. Why are we acting like we know what’s best for another adult better than themselves?? That’s very disrespectful and insulting to the said person in this case Aisha. Feminism is not what makes you happy or seeing every woman with a brief case every morning.

I agree with you somewhat.

I do believe that feminism is about women's right to choose what they want for themselves.

If they want to be a homemaker and stay-at-home wife, it is their choice, and we should respect that.

If they want to have a successful career, balance work and family or have no kids/no family, it is their choice, and we should respect that.

The problem for me is two-fold

One is when we have double standards for men and women. Men also deserve the right to choose to be homemakers and stay-at-home husbands, and as a society, we need to be more respectful of that.

The bigger problem is when husbands like Abhishek make statements like they do. "I do not do the heavy lifting at home. That is entirely done by my wife. She allows me to go and do my work. The point is, do not try and deal with it. I do not think the new generation has a sense of hierarchy."

Even if this is what makes Ash happy, and she does it of her own volition, it reeks of entitlement. He comes off as someone who expects that from his wife and believes that it is the order of how it should be. The bold is especially grating. Men like this embolden and encourage other men to expect the same of their wives.

This is why as a feminist, I will support homemakers but not tradwives. Being a stay-at-home wife and mom because it is what you want is one thing. Stating that stay-at-home wife and mom is the natural order that all couples should adhere to is problematic. And while Ash may not say it herself, it's still a problem that Abhishek says it so frequently.

And this has happened multiple times. One or two times I would dismiss it as misspeaking. But Abhishek is not a bumbling idiot who can never say the right things. He is intentionally saying things as he believes them and feels that society should adhere to them.

Does Aish had gym at home ? doing any movie r wat ?
