^^ Nailed it with force.
I feel exactly the same, Hadey. There is this unsaid, very polite coercion wherein everyone of them has to submit to this pseudo-sanskaari & pretentious aura. It's lovely to be cultured, Humble, nice etc & we see that in Jr-- But Sr just comes off as some refined robot. I wouldn't say ARB was authentic per se, with Salman, but there was a heck-tonne of Fire & smokey passion between the two & she seems to miss that with Jr. But in some of her more candid moments, she seems to be far more relaxed around him. Pre- Salman & definitely during it & later, she was extremely uptight & very very guarded which is completely natural since she was held hostage by that Psychopath & later, her career was nearly ruined before good sense prevailed & she decided to move onto pastures which allowed her far bigger visibility-- In any case, Passion is awesome yet over-rated in the long run, it's friendship & safety that matters for a calm & good family life. She seems to have that with Jr, even now when he looks like all he wants to do is run away. Far, faaar away! He just isn't a regular Bachchan & thank God for that. All said & done, Jaya brought SBN & Jr up, impeccably, seems to have made sure none of their fathers antics & extramarital conduct touched them. But the pressure is mostly Big B & Ash's personality fits RIGHT IN. She isn't out of place, in the least, personality-wise.
