MUMBAI : Since making their separate entries at Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant's wedding on July 12 at the Jio World Convention Centre in Mumbai, Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan have been in the public eye.
Recently, there has been speculation regarding Abhishek and his relationship after the actor liked a post about the challenges of divorce. Amid all of this excitement, an old interview with Abhishek has come to light, providing insight into his opinions on equality and support in marriage.
Abhishek was questioned throughout the interview about any restrictions he has ever put on his wife. He retorted that only a man lacking confidence or trustworthiness would act in such a way. In addition, Abhishek expressed his irritation at the social norm that demands Aishwarya attend his public events while he, as her spouse, should not.
“I’ve often been asked how it feels to walk the red carpet with your wife at Cannes,” Abhishek told the popular news portal in 2012. “I find this attitude chauvinistic. It means that you are the husband, so how can you walk with her? Do you ever ask Aishwarya why she walks the red carpet with me at the premieres of my films? She attends all my events, but I cannot accompany her. That’s wrong. If my wife supports me, then it’s my duty to support her.”
Abhishek further elaborated on the idea that restraining a partner stems from insecurity and a lack of trust.
“If a man tries to restrain his wife, then there must be two reasons for it. Firstly, he’s insecure. Secondly, he doesn’t trust her. I am a secure person and have complete faith in my wife. And why just wife, if a man tries to restrain his girlfriend, mother, or any girl, then either he’s insecure or he doesn’t trust them. And that’s not how I was brought up.”
Since her marriage in April 2007, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan has attended the Cannes Film Festival on a regular basis, frequently accompanied by Abhishek. In May 2007, they made their Cannes debut together.
