Never expected Abhishek to be so patriarchal!

“My surname is sacred to me. I am whatever I am today because of my surname, which was given to me by my grandfather, and my father did a fantastic job of furthering that name, and the dignity associated with it,” he said.

Abhishek said that he has always believed that it is his ‘duty’, as his father’s son, ‘to further that legacy’. Because of this, he feels that he has never felt the need to stand out from his family. “I see my wife teach that to my daughter. We don’t want to put pressure on her, but (she) must be respectful of what her father, her dada ji, her pardada ji have done and achieved, and she must respect that, and never do anything to deplete that.”

Is there anything wrong in what he said?

"We don’t want to put pressure on her, but (she) must be respectful of what her father, her dada ji, her pardada ji have done and achieved, and she must respect that, and never do anything to deplete that.”

What about her mom, dadi, nani, pardadi, parnani and their achievements? None of them matter?

Did he say they are teaching her not to respect them?

Let us stop trying to read in between the lines just for the heck of getting offended. Why are people looking to get offended by every little thing?

Glad he admits his nepo privileges and that thing alone is carrying him forward in life, without it he would be a nobody & nothing. Glad he knows that too

He said Aish is teaching her this things .. he is just repeating what Aish is doing...

Aishu credits her FIL for her husband's wonderful upbringing

What about her MIL who stopped working and stayed at home for her children

What's wrong with what he said?🤔 He's actually being not patriarchal if anything. He in fact says he feels the pressure but doesn't want to put pressure on his daughter.

With re: last name. Amitabh and his daddy are the famous names in that family. Who else is Abhishek going to try and match up to?

No one is offended.

By emphasizing on only a few members of the family, he is just following the same patriarchal tropes that have been followed since the beginning of time.
