Aishwarya Rai Is 'Ideal Mrs Bachchan': Jaya Bachchan's Throwback Statement Goes Viral

A clip from an old episode of Koffee With Karan is going viral again. The viral video shows veteran actress Jaya Bachchan opened up about her bond with daughter in law Aishwarya Rai, expressing deep admiration and affection.

"I Love Her, Always Have"

When host Karan Johar asked about Aishwarya Rai, Jaya warmly responded, "She is lovely. I love her, and you know I have always loved her." She praised Aishwarya Rai not just for being a superstar, but for her grace and humility within the family.

Jaya appreciated that despite Aishwarya Rai's fame, she never imposes herself. "It's wonderful that she's such a big star but doesn't push herself. She fits beautifully in the family and understands relationships," she said.

A Bond Built on Respect and Understanding

Jaya further spoke about Aishwarya Rai 's thoughtful nature, saying, "She stands quietly, observes, and understands people. She knows who her real friends are and behaves accordingly." When asked if Aishwarya Rai is the ideal wife for Abhishek, Jaya confidently replied, "Yes, absolutely."

Abhishek Bachchan on the Two Women in His Life

Back in 2015, Abhishek Bachchan shared a lighter side of their bond in a DNA interview. He joked that his mother and wife often "gang up" against him and speak in Bengali- a language both of them are fluent in. "They keep rattling on in Bengali and I'm left out," he laughed.

Jaya's Loving Welcome Before the Wedding

Another heartwarming clip often revisited by fans is from the 2007 Filmfare Awards, just before Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai 's wedding. While accepting a Lifetime Achievement Award, Jaya said, "I am going to become a mother-in-law again, to a lovely girl with wonderful values."
