Abhishek Bachchan recalls a sweet memory with Aaradhya
In a recent chat with Lilly Singh, Abhishek shared a heartwarming childhood memory of Aaradhya that still makes him smile. “We were watching TV when she was little, and I was being tortured by Peppa Pig. I said, ‘Hey, Aaradhya…’ You know how kids are, they’re like zombies. She looked at me like, ‘What?’ I said: ‘Can you give me a glass of water?’ He said, ‘Why?’ I said: ‘because I asked you to.It’s normal, right? I’m dad, have a glass of water. He got up, went and got me a very sweet glass of water. I said “thank you”, gave him a kiss and sat down.
Abhishek Bachchan shares a parenting lesson for Aaradhya
The actor described how the simple exchange soon took a funny yet insightful turn. “Half an hour later ‘Dad?’ ‘Yes?’ He asked: ‘Can you give me a glass of water?’ And I’m like ‘Go for yourself.’ He said, ‘Why? If you ask me, why can’t I ask you?’ I had no answer to that. And I said, he’s right. I mean, I can’t level up. He is right. If he brings me a glass of water, why can’t I get it for him? And I never thought about it after that. It’s very logical.”
With Abhishek Bachchan on parental equality Aishwarya Rai
Talking more about the parental approach, Bachchan himself and Aishwarya they prefer a balanced approach based on cooperation rather than defined parental roles. “In my house, as parents, we both try to be the best example for Aaradhya instead of telling her what is right and what is wrong. We believe in showing what needs to be done by being ourselves. It’s never been, “OK, I’ll teach him self-defense.” If you’ve seen my wife, she can take care of herself. It has never been divided: “I will teach him self-defense, you will teach him empathy.”“No, it’s not that.”He added: “It’s just about leading a good, responsible life with your own values and morals. Your kids see that, they emulate that, and that’s how you’ve equipped them. So there is no competition in the house as to who should be the man or who should be the woman. When it comes to children, we both believe that you should lead by example, not try to teach them what is right and wrong. Because what is right for us may not be right for them. Generations change. Our world is very different, and our children’s world will be even more different.’
