Most fans laud Ranveer Singh for the most progressive and perfect husband a girl could get, but any moons before Ranveer tied the knot to Deepika Padukone, it was Abhishek Bachchan who set the internet into a collective meltdown with his love for one of the most gorgeous women in the world, Aishwarya Rai.

Shoojit had questioned Abhishek on how would he respond to Aaradhya entering Bollywood to which he quoted, "No. But before I answer that, I would like to give this some context and perspective. The two women who are close to me, my mother and my wife have worked in the industry on their own terms. They’ve never been forced to do anything they didn’t want to do."
"There’s a huge debate on gender parity in the film business and in other industries. I’ve worked in nine films with my wife and in eight of those, she’s got paid more than I have. The highest-paid actor in Piku was Deepika (Padukone). It’s a business and if you are a saleable actor, you get paid accordingly. You can’t be a new actress and demand to be paid the same as Shah Rukh Khan," said Abhishek.
