Abhishek Bachchan recently opened up about his daughter Aaradhya’s upbringing, emphasizing the distinct approach he and his wife, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, have chosen. The couple, celebrated for their enduring love story and their grand wedding in 2007, welcomed Aaradhya a few years later, marking a new chapter in their family life. Abhishek highlighted Aishwarya’s significant role in raising Aaradhya, acknowledging her dedication and selflessness in caregiving.
Abhishek expressed,
I have to give the credit of everything entirely to her mother. I have the liberty, and I go out to make my movies, but Aishwarya does the heavy lifting with Aaradhya. She is amazing. Selfless. I find it amazing. Just mothers in general, I don’t think fathers have the ability to be as giving, maybe we are wired differently, we are more about going out, we have to do something, we have to work, we are goal oriented. And to be able to say, ‘No, this is my baby, and this is my top priority for me,’ I think it’s amazing and it’s a gift. That’s why possibly our go-to people are mothers. So for Aaradhya, yes, absolutely, the entire credit goes to Aishwarya.

Aaradhya’s Life Away from Social Media
In contrast to many children today who are deeply engaged with digital platforms like Instagram and YouTube, Aaradhya Bachchan’s upbringing is notably different. Abhishek shared that she does not have a mobile phone and has deliberately been kept away from social media. This choice reflects the couple’s intention to raise her with a sense of mindfulness and individuality, rather than allowing external pressures or trends to shape her experience.
The actor remarked on this lifestyle choice, saying,
She is not on any social media, doesn’t have a phone also. I think she is brought up to be a very conscientious girl and I think that’s also a testimony to her individually. I don’t want to take away from her what she is personally. She is who she is, and she is turning out to be a wonderful little lady. She is the pride and joy of the family. So yeah, we are blessed. And at the end of the day, it’s that happiness is coming home to a happy and healthy family. That is so important.
