Aaradhya becomes less and less natural... and Aish shows her around like a rare jewel...(I can be wrong with that feeling but this are the vibes I get)

I find this post almost comically inaccurate. Aaradhya is a growing girl. This is the age all girls want to be perceived as young women and start wearing makeup, more jewelry, and dressing in more grown-up clothes. This is natural in every culture or country for young girls. I know you've mentioned having kids before and I wonder if that includes any daughters or if you have any young girls in your life, because surely you would recognize this then. Or at least remember from your own childhood past.

And keep in mind that these are Bollywood kids. They have been born and bred in this industry. They will lead very different lives from the rest of us and what we perceive as normal. Many people say Aish wants to launch her daughter in the south as an actress. It makes sense that she would be starting early on to help develop Aaradhya's reputation and network her. People say Sridevi did the same with her own daughters (which is why it's laughable that some claim Janhvi helped kill her mother because Sridevi wouldn't let her act).

I feel you have a blindspot when it comes to Aish. Yes, I admit that I have one too but I've never seen you pick on any actress as much as you do Aish. Even Twinkle who you posted quite a few negative posts about in the past, you've kept your comments directed at her acting and how you feel she isn't a good actress. But with Aish, you always make very personal remarks about her character and personality and now even her mothering. First insuinating that she's responsible for breaking up SRK/Salman's friendship, that she provoked Salman into hitting her and he's not at fault, that she's an abusive mother, and now this.

I don't want to put you on the spot but your comments about the Aish/Aaradhya relationship and how you feel it's unhealthy make me wonder if you're not projecting your own experiences. To give an unrelated example, I had a friend who was a woman but hated women. The reason is that she had an awful mother, grandmother, stepmother, and stepsisters. Every woman in her life saw her as a rival and bullied her. She had no good maternal figures so she had a very low opinion of mothers in general. In contrast, she felt men were better people because her father and stepbrothers did not actively bully her. The key is that they never helped her either but because they didn't go out of their way to hurt her, she decided this still makes them a step above. She doesn't recognize that they never shielded her from the abuse of her maternal figures and stepsisters and this makes them complicit and even cowardly. Instead she feels they were too weak because of the women in their lives and the women are too blame, not the men.

And I see this in how in every situation, she blames the woman. Even if the man is obviously to blame, she will somehow pardon him and explain his terrible behavior by claiming it was a woman who provoked him into acting this way so she sympathizes with him more. If his wife had been nicer and more attentive or had focused more on him than her own profession, he would not have done this or that. This is the same girl who would post stats about how women earning more than their husbands is dangerous to men because it hurts their egos and causes them to be prone to suicide. In other words ladies, if you love your husbands, make sure you don't earn more money than them...this was her advice. She's a very extreme example but I bring her up here to point out how intergenerational trauma is very much a thing and if you've been shaped by that all your life and never had any other experience, that's all you see.

If Aaradhya would go to school Aish couldn't have her by her side...

She is the daughter and granddaughter of two of the biggest superstars. The Bachchan name alone means she will never have to want for anything in her life, let alone need schooling. And why do people assume Aaradhya is not being tutored on the side to keep up with her studies? Do people expect her teachers and tutors will be dragged along to every event too?

Also I think it's interesting that Alia posted that Raha is the first time in her life that she doesn't feel alone. Have we ever considered that the same is true for Aish, at least in her married life? That maybe Aaradhya also feels alone and disconnected from her paternal family who seem to have disowned her and her mother. That she needs someone to hang onto as much, if not more than Aish. And if you're such a big star's daughter, how many friends your age will you actually have who can understand and sympathize? There aren't many options left besides her mother.

Wow, this is her second award I believe for playing Nandini in PS: II.

When I watched the films, I have tbh that I didn't understand much of the plot or intricate history and feuds. But Aish's part was easy enough to understand that she was betrayed in her youth by her lover and turned to a path in life where she could achieve power and high station so she could enact revenge on the same family who destroyed her own. I'm glad she's getting her due for such a meaty and well-played role.

ARB and Maniratnam on stage...

Dear, there is a reason why I prefer to write about this subject through pm... I'll come back to you when having read your post with time to read it properly (just now a quick acknowledgement to let you know that I won't ignore you...family matters more at the moment...always ).

I guess the forum doesn't need these low-brow sexual innuendos...reported

Just to make it clear: the member you mention made clear that he doesn't want to be adressed by me...I'm one of those who can respect this...he is a nonentity to me, now
