Amitabh Bachchan Celebrates Aishwarya Rai’s Natural Childbirth

A recent resurfacing of an interview with Amitabh Bachchan sheds light on the remarkable strength exhibited by Aishwarya Rai during the birth of their daughter, Aaradhya Bachchan. In the interview, Bachchan recalls how Aishwarya chose to deliver Aaradhya naturally, without the use of painkillers, highlighting her determination and resilience.

During the transformative moment of welcoming Aaradhya, who was born in 2011, Aishwarya insisted on a natural delivery, enduring what Bachchan described as “acute labour for a long time, almost 2-3 hours.” He praised her for her resolve, stating, “She had to struggle, but I commend her… She did not use any epidural or painkiller.”

Aishwarya and Abhishek Bachchan were married in 2007, and their family has remained a focal point of media attention since. Amitabh Bachchan’s comments serve as a reminder of the family’s unity and protectiveness, especially regarding Aishwarya’s choices and experiences.

Defending Family Dignity

Amitabh Bachchan has a history of standing up for the women in his family. In 2010, he publicly condemned a Mumbai tabloid that falsely claimed Aishwarya was unable to conceive. He expressed his outrage in a blog post, stating, “This article is completely false, completely fabricated, unsubstantiated, insensitive and of the lowest quality of journalism there ever was,” as reported by PTI. His passionate defense underscored his belief that Aishwarya is not merely his daughter-in-law but a beloved member of the family deserving of respect.

He emphasized the importance of family dignity, declaring, “I am head of my family. Aishwarya is not my daughter-in-law, she is my daughter, a woman, a lady in my house and home. If anyone will talk derogatorily about her, I will fight for her until my last breath.” This strong stance highlights the values of love and loyalty that the Bachchan family upholds.

Aaradhya Turns 14

Recently, the Bachchan family celebrated Aaradhya’s 14th birthday in a low-key manner. Amitabh Bachchan took to his personal blog to honor her special day, writing, “Blessings on the eve of the little one, Aaradhya… the child in us all grows with time and we wish them the mostest.” His heartfelt message reflects the warmth and affection that defines their family ties.

As Aaradhya continues to grow, the Bachchans remain a prominent and respected family within the Indian film industry. Their journey, marked by love, resilience, and strong family values, continues to inspire many.
