It is not that Ash wants Aradhya to be always with her. She is working or where she can not be too clingy but Aradhya is very attached to her mom. I don't think anything is wrong with it. She just turned 12. It is obvious that she does not feel comfortable with the media or big crowd.
Ash has rejected many movies, we don't know how things been for the couple. I think Ash just trying to make the peace with the bachchan by not being too close with anyone but Agastya.
This was before Aradhya was born. I don't even remember Abhishek supporting Ash. I thought they were the power couple but like Jaya mentioned in the Navya podcast that Abhishek always wanted a wife who will be a stay home person.

He may thought Ash would want to stop working in movies and be a stay at home mom. But she never ever complained about anything. Jaya bachchan was sitting with Rani Mukerji recently but i never see her with Ash. Which is okay too, not a big deal. But I do hope Ash will start working in movies, she rejected few movies already.
