The Bachchan's cold shoulder towards Aishwarya Rai - Page 18

Resident misogynist birdies strike again claiming there is no discrimination in asking women not to work in so called shady industry or accusing fans of breaking family.

If industry is so shady then why Amitabh chose wife and DIL from same shady industry? What was point of choosing women already working and then hoping they so not work?

It is a myth that Amitabh did not stop Jaya from working. He did once tell her he would like to see her when he gets back home from work and have her serve him meals.

It is not just kids looking at her and asking if she too was going out.

It is also sad to read in today's times calling women 'weak' if they work or strong if they quit work or say only female is nurturer and male is not.

Chandrachud Singh took break in career and stays home most time for his son post divorce. Is he not a nurturer? Aamir takes break nowadays to be with kids post divorce and does not want Azad to feel bad about divorce. Never seen anyone call them strong for it.

Also why call Shweta a freeloader when her low self esteem is evident and she cannot speak properly in public and was married off too soon and never encouraged to study or explore world on her own? When self esteem is crushed at young age person develops learned helplessness and resigns to fate and learns to live within comfort zone that family made for them. Shweta is probably like that and has no existence without relying on her parents and family.

No comparison to Ash whose mom accompanied her everywhere at award shows, Miss India and other pageants and whose dad and brother also supported her academics and career.

22 pages telling us how Aish is the real life version of Gopi bahu and Jaya is Kokila modi.. Damn even Abhi fits the bill for Ahem.. was the Bachan household inspiration for the show?

Bachchans helping Shweta do something now or living with her now does not mean they were never regessive or misogynist.

Karishma also lives with Kapoors now and family helped her get divorced. It does not mean Kapoors were never misogynist at all nor patriarchal.

Amitabh loves his daughter and cannot leave her to rot either despite having conservative mindset.

Shatrughan Sinha is also misogynist but he let Sonakshi have a career. That does not mean his own statements and behaviour earlier or till date can be ignored to claim he was never sexist.

It was in context to Aishwarya's life with the Bachchans. Nobody is forcing her to do anything. She worked for years after marrying and didn't have a baby until very late. Bachchans used to go to all her film premieres.

Her fans might be mad because she sits at home for years and doesn't do much work but that's not their fault. I hope you guys realize the roles for older women are limited especially ones like Aish who are loved more for their looks than their acting. There are not going to be too many things she can fit into - look at her trio of disasters - Jazba, Sarbjit, Fanney Khan - when she tried to make a comeback after having Aradhya. Now she waits until she gets something that suits her better.

Karishma does not live with the Kapoors. Randhir lives in his own apartment, Babita lives in a separate apartment and Kareena and Saif live separately too. Karishma lives in her own apartment with her kids.

Also she had ADHM which was successful and she walked away with most of the acclaim.

I agree that good roles are far and few between but let's not mince words when it comes to how much she is loved and well received by audiences even today.

Atleast Kapoors let Karishma get divorced and still make appearances in public with her.

Earlier they have not really had women being allowed to work or get divorced legally. Even if women lived separately.

I agree on roles for older women being limited but in general also Bachchans do not post about Ash's films nor invite her in family specials of KBC. Neither does she post about them on her own Insta.

That was what incited this discussion.

Both Amitabh and Abhishek did not post on PS1.

I felt bad for Aish in this video.
I think she said something to Abhi but whatever it’s they need to solve their differences at home not in public. Abhishek is showing faltu ka attitude

What are those crime patrol like special effects 😆

The only thing hilarious about this video is Jaya standing in front of Ash's dad during the photo op blocking him. Rude rude lady.

Hilarious thread as always.

Yearly topic about poor Aishwarya abla naari.. sasural se haari. 😆

Arey aisa nahi, don't you know she's the first woman who experiences problems with her in-laws. 😆 Baki sab toh maze mein hein.

OT: the truth of the matter is neither of the party is innocent. Both Ash and Abhi are opportunists who benefitted with their marriage. She got the Bachhan tag, with it the protection and a standing in industry getting rid of Bhai. He benefitted by not fading into oblivion with his straight duds. She kept him in limelight. She knew what she was getting into when she married him. She was not a poor, disenfranchised woman with no options. Ab ye fans kaiku itna conspiracy theories banake essays likhre, only they know.

Jaya did not quit acting because of Amitabh. Do you guys even listen to any of their interviews? She has said many times she was going to work and it really hurt her to leave her children behind so she stopped. Eventually she worked again in movies like K3G and Kal Ho Na Ho but roles for older women don't exist that much.

It cannot be a coincidence that all women in that family voluntarily choose to sit at home and look after the kids or slow down after marriage. Jaya felt bad about leaving kids at home while going to work, AB did not. Shweta was married off at a young age and had no career . Navya in a recent interview said when guests come over it’s always she who is expected to look after them and not Agastya and she feels bad. Shweta was vehemently against her children joining films but Agastya ended up acting anyways. Do not think Navya will ever have that freedom. How can anyone overlook the misogyny in this family ?
This isn’t the same case as the Pataudi family where Saba chose not to act, Soha did and Kareena is still actively working.

I do not give a rats ass about AB Sr , Shweta and others in the family not promoting Aishwarya though it is fun to diss them because I dislike them all immensely. Aishwarya does not promote anyone ,at least not on SM. Her Instagram account looks like a photo album of her daughter more than anything else. But she does often turn up to support Abhishek irl whether it was his stage performance a couple of months back where she was in the audience only for the time he was performing or his kabaddi matches to support his team. I’m sure AB can do the same for his spouse. You and others can say her fans are making rai ka pahad but for a while now I see a lot of neutral , non fans saying the same.

Sarbjit wasn't a disaster FYI. It did average to above average business. Collected almost as much as Mardaani without any big banner backing it.

No.

Sarabjit was released in 1400 screens and made 26 crores and was declared a flop. Mardaani released in 1250 screens and made 36 crores and was declared a semi-hit.

Sarabjit was produced by T-series which is a very big banner.

Anyway, flop or disaster - either way her acting was awful in it so it's better for her to just wait and find roles that are more suitable for her and her acting style. I think she realized it too and now waits for the right projects even if it means long breaks.

You can't use the women in the family as bait on one hand to prove how awful and evil the Bachchans are and then declare in the next paragraph that you don't care a rats ass about the other women anyway. 😂

Aish is not some abla naari. She is grown-up woman with her own money and career. She left behind abusive Salman so she can leave behind some annoying in-laws too if that's what she wanted. She is living there in that set-up because she wants to. She gets enough out of being a Bachchan too.

Saying Aish doesn't support anyone is not the excuse that you think it is. There's no reason why her Instagram has to be a photo album for Aaradya. If she was promoting everyone in the family and nobody was promoting her, then you have a reason to cry about it. You do not when she also doesn't do anything for anyone. She won't even give her poor sister-in-law Shrima a shout-out to help her get a few more followers. Are the Rais also evil to poor baby Aishwarya? Or she's such a queen that everyone has to keep on doing things for her but she never has to return the favor? Sorry, life doesn't work like that.

And as for Abhishek supporting her, the guy was actually with her and Aaradya when Aish was filming outside Mumbai for PS1. I'm sure she values that kind of actual support than making a fuss on social media.
