Salman Khan's Reaction to Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan's Daughter: A Heartwarming Story of Support
New Delhi:
The relationship between Salman Khan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan has always been a topic of public interest. Recently, journalist Heena Kumawat shared a heartwarming anecdote about Salman's reaction when Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan welcomed their daughter, Aaradhya Bachchan.
In an appearance on Sunita Ahuja's podcast, Heena recalled the incident, saying, "Aishwarya had just given birth to Aaradhya. A few days later, Salman was giving interviews as the brand ambassador for a mobile brand. News channels were eager to get his reaction."
Heena, who was assigned to ask Salman the question, initially felt uncomfortable. She explained, "Aishwarya is already married, and Salman has no relation with her. As a female journalist, I thought it was inappropriate to question her dignity. I refused to ask that question."
However, other journalists reportedly did ask the question. Heena chose a different approach. She pointed out that Sohail Khan had also welcomed a child around the same time and framed her question accordingly. "Despite the pressure, I decided not to ask the same question. But Sohail Khan had a baby a few days earlier. So I asked Salman, 'How are you feeling after becoming a Chacha?' He replied, 'Chacha Nahi, mama bhi bana hoon. (I have not just become a Chacha, I'm also a mama now). I wish they have 11 kids.'"
This anecdote highlights Salman's supportive and affectionate nature towards the Bachchan family. It's a reminder that celebrities, like the rest of us, can be deeply touched by the joys and milestones of their loved ones.
Background:
Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Abhishek Bachchan married on April 20, 2007, and welcomed their daughter, Aaradhya Bachchan, on November 16, 2011. Abhishek Bachchan has often praised Aishwarya's dedication as a mother. In an interview, he said, 'All credit to Aishwarya for being a terrific mother. Fatherhood has completely changed my outlook on life. Bringing a child into the world changes all your priorities. I am sure every parent would agree.'
