Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai once considered to be one of the most-loved couples in Bollywood, are currently in the news due to their separation rumours. While fans of the duo are expecting these reports to be false, let’s go down to the memory lane when Jaya Bachchan showered praises on her Bahu Aishwarya. In one of the old episodes of Koffee With Karan , Jaya spoke about Aishwarya and said, “Amitji, the minute he sees her (Aishwarya), it’s like he’s looking at Shweta coming home.
His eyes light up. She’ll fill the vacuum that Shweta left. We have never been able to adjust that Shweta is not in the family, she is out and she is not a Bachchan.
It’s tough.” Lauding her daughter-in-law, she added, “She is lovely, I love her. She is such a big star herself and she has fitted in so well.
She is a strong lady and she has a lot of dignity.” “I have never ever seen her push herself whenever we are all together. I like that quality of hers to stand behind.
She is quiet. She listens and she is taking it all in. And another beautiful thing is that she has fitted in so well in the family.
She knows who are our good friends,” added the actress. In another interview with Rediff, Jaya said she doesn’t do politics behind Aishwarya’s back and they express each other straightforwardly if there are any disagreements. “She is my buddy.
If I don’t like something about her, I tell it to her face. I don’t do politics behind her back. If she disagrees with me.
