Yes in that context you are right.
They bash everyone and make lot of presumptions and assumptions.
I think Abhi and Ash have done lot of ads, Cannes, Oprah, Miss World etc type appearances together when they were younger. They need not be together all time. Senior Bachchans have also been at Cannes with Ash or taken her at political rallies in 2007-08 or announced a college in her name or Jaya spoke for her in RS when she was summoned by ED.
What more should they do?
If they had always appeared together then they are accused of nepotism, parivar waad, vansh waad or Ash using Bachchan fame or Bachchans using Ash fame.
If they do not always appear together or speak for each other then they are accused of having rift and either Ash is a bad bahu or Bachchans are oppressor in laws.
Where should one go then? Amitabh had promoted Robot and Jodha Akbar.
He and Ash did Kalyan ads earlier.
But he gets worst speculations against him when he works with her or speaks of her or hugs her. He was trolled for hugging Ash and welcoming her at airport post Abhi Ash wedding, trolled for speaking about her delivery, trolled for carrying Aaradhya out of hospital. So much so that trolls claimed Ash married Abhishek for Amitabh or Amitabh is Aaradhya's real father or Abhishek is impotent.
Why will Amitabh and Ash not keep some distance then?
Why the same old tripe of beti aur bahu mein fark hota hai, blood is thicker than water? Or project hate for Jaya on Ash wondering how Ash tolerates her?
Or hate it if Bachchans appear a lot with Shweta or her kids at talk shows or events? Do relations with daughter get severed once she gets married or once son also gets married? I find sexist thinking in comments of trolls who make it nanad vs bhabhi or bash Shweta for being close to maayka.
What is wrong if Shweta and her kids get support of her maayka? No one bats an eyelid for Ash being close to her mom.
I think if, especially if, Shweta has been having issues with her in laws or is separated then it is natural for parents and brother to support her or worry for her.
I have not seen Ash promote films of her husband, FIL, MIL or work of her sisters in law or brother or nieces and nephews at all. But no one speculates or calls her a selfish or bad woman or a snob for it.
Rather Ash fans often cross limits and say no one knew Amitabh abroad before Ash married into his family and that Bachchans benefitted from her and not other way round, which is laughable given the ignorance of Amitabh's fame beyond borders and how many govts of different nations have honoured him and how he was first Indian star to do world tours, had sold out shows at Wembley even before Ash began walking on her own.
I do think Ash fans need to give it a rest. And not speculate much.
Agastya or Navya need promotions compared to Ash who is a super established icon herself. They are newbies.
It is petty to feel envious of even posts on a nana promoting his grandkids.
They ignore Amitabh has written many blogs on Aaradhya too, referring to her as the 'little one'.
He's allocated equal shares of his property to all kids and grandkids and openly announced it on blogs. What else do people want?
Though I think Pataudis are better at PR management as Sharmila, Kareena and Sara appear together and Taimur, Jeh, Ibrahim and Sara, Saif also appear together in front of media, so people think they are a happy family. Compared to Bachchans who do not appear together much since last few years.
