The Bachchan family, one of the most renowned and influential families in the Indian film industry, is admired by millions for their contributions to Bollywood. However, like any high-profile family, the Bachchans have had their share of controversies and darker moments.
Here are some lesser-known or darker facts about the family that have made headlines:
The “Bachchan Bahu” Controversy
Aishwarya Rai Bachchan’s entry into the Bachchan family was met with public fascination and scrutiny, particularly regarding the “Bachchan Bahu” (daughter-in-law) role. Aishwarya’s relationship with Amitabh Bachchan and Jaya Bachchan was heavily discussed in the media, with reports suggesting tension and competition between Aishwarya and Jaya. Some gossip columns also speculated that Aishwarya faced pressure from the family, particularly in terms of the expectations that come with being married to a powerful family.
The Tension with Jaya Bachchan
In the past, there were media rumors suggesting tension between Aishwarya and her mother-in-law, Jaya Bachchan. These rumors stemmed from the perception that Jaya, being a veteran actress and a strong figure in the family, may have been protective of her son Abhishek. Additionally, media outlets speculated that Jaya and Aishwarya may have clashed over family matters or the balance of power in the household. Aishwarya has, however, always denied any such animosity and maintained that her relationship with Jaya is respectful and loving.
