When you keep sacrificing yourself and name it ‘love’, continue giving love and take criticism, loneliness covering others ignorance/their mistakes that’s what happen to your body. She needs to learn about boundaries to become healthy mentally and physically.
Aishwarya has not really sacrificed anything for anyone, including her in-laws. She never truly loved Abhishek. She strategically married into the Bachchan family at a time when her reputation had taken a hit because of multiple highly publicized relationships, and becoming a Bachchan restored a great deal of prestige and respectability to her image.
She married Abhishek in 2007 and benefited immensely from the Bachchan name and influence. By 2011, as she approached 40, she decided to have a child to lay permanent claim to Amitabh and Jaya Bachchan's legacy and wealth.
Abhishek has said that he wanted to have a second child, but Aishwarya seemed far more focused on attempting multiple comeback projects, almost all of which failed to make any real impact.
Despite all the narratives portraying her as some suffering daughter-in-law trapped in a toxic household, she never really gave up her career, nor did she seem seriously invested in integrating fully with the family. Once she had the Bachchan heir, she kept the grandchild away from the father and his side of the family, yet Bachchans are the ones who get blamed for ignoring Aaradhya.
The constant portrayal of her as a helpless victim is hard to take seriously. If anything, she gained far more from the Bachchans than they gained from her. In fact, the Bachchans themselves didn’t really gain anything from Aishwarya Rai rebranding herself into Aishwarya Rai Bachchan.
Why is she still framed as the victim in the long game she clearly played and won?
