Salman Khan's Heartfelt Response to Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Abhishek Bachchan's Family Expansion: A Story of Support and Warmth
New Delhi:
The relationship between Salman Khan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan has long been a topic of public fascination. Recently, journalist Heena Kumawat shared a heartwarming anecdote that sheds light on Salman's genuine support for the couple's family life.
In an appearance on Sunita Ahuja's podcast, Heena recalled the time when Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan welcomed their daughter, Aaradhya Bachchan. She described the media frenzy surrounding the event and the pressure on journalists to get Salman's reaction.
Heena revealed her dilemma: "Aishwarya had just given birth to Aaradhya. On the same day or a few days later, Salman was giving interviews as the brand ambassador for a mobile brand. Every news channel wanted Salman's response to the news of Aishwarya and Abhishek becoming parents."
She continued, "As a female journalist, I felt uncomfortable asking the question. I thought it was inappropriate to question Aishwarya's dignity, given that she was already married and Salman had no direct relation with her. But other journalists asked the question, so I decided to take a different approach."
Heena chose to frame her question in a way that highlighted the parallel with Sohail Khan's recent fatherhood. She shared, "Despite the pressure, I decided not to ask the same question. But Sohail Khan had also become a father just a few days earlier. So, I asked Salman, 'How are you feeling after becoming a Chacha?' and Salman's response was both charming and insightful: 'Chacha Nahi, mama bhi bana hoon. (I have not just become a chacha, I'm also a mama now). I wish that they have 11 kids.'"
This anecdote reveals a side of Salman Khan that is often overlooked. It showcases his warm and supportive nature, even when it comes to the families of his former partners. Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Abhishek Bachchan's marriage and the birth of Aaradhya have been celebrated by many, and Salman's response adds a layer of depth to this heartwarming story.
Background:
Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Abhishek Bachchan's love story began on the sets of 'Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam' in 1999. They tied the knot on April 20, 2007, and welcomed their daughter, Aaradhya Bachchan, on November 16, 2011. Abhishek Bachchan has often spoken highly of Aishwarya's parenting skills, crediting her for being a devoted and hands-on mother.
In an interview, Abhishek said, "I have to give the credit for everything entirely to her mother. I have the liberty to go out and make my movies, but Aishwarya does the heavy lifting with Aaradhya. She is amazing. Selfless. I find it amazing."
He further emphasized the impact of fatherhood on his perspective, stating, "Fatherhood has completely changed my outlook on life. Bringing a child into the world changes all your priorities. I am sure every parent would agree."
