Abhishek Bachchan thanks wife Aishwarya Rai Bachchan in his latest interview

Abhishek Bachchan feels “immensely thankful” to Aishwarya for looking after their daughter Aaradhya.

While speaking in an interview with The Hindu, Abhishek Bachchan said, “Even in my household, I’m very lucky I get to go out and make the movies. But I know that Aishwarya is at home with Aaradhya, and I thank her immensely for that. But I don’t think the children think of it that way. They don’t look upon you in third person. They look upon you in the first – you’re the parent, the father or the mother.”

Abhishek never felt his parents were absent during his childhood.

Talking about his childhood, the “I Want To Talk” actor said that he never felt his parents were absent. While his father superstar Amitabh Bachchan was at the peak of his acting career in the 1970s, his mother-actor Jaya Bachchan had taken a backseat from acting after his birth in 1976. He said, “I never thought of it as a kid. My mother had stopped acting in films when I was born because she wanted to spend time with the children. But we never felt the void of dad not being around. I don’t think much is made up of it. At the end of the day, after work, you come home at night.”
