A time will surely come where their daughter will want more quiet time for herself. What will Aish do then?

She will accompany her daughter to dates .

There’s nothing wrong with therapy and it does not mean the person is inflicted with a mental illness such as depression or anxiety etc. Therapy a lot of times is just a tool to help you navigate your own feelings and live the best life for yourself. If I were Aishwarya and/or Abhishek I would have already gotten Aaradhya into counseling just based on the fact that she’s Bachchan and is living a very public life as a child.

...I think Aradhya is, highly overexposed to the media as a pre-early teen. She absolutely doesn't need, neither should she be walking red carpets with her (absolutely everywhere). And get judged on her looks or health by creeps. I dunno who takes majority of the parental decisions. But, they both are shitty fot allowing so much media exposure of a child. It's neither healthy nor safe

bold: It's what I'm thinking, too.

They still live near enough to feud like high school bullies lol. And, I don't think either of Abhishek-Aish are fully victimised in this situation. A lot of financial and social capital is tied in the family and the Sanskari beta bahu image helped both of them. Abhishek seems highly parentified, and Aish has her own regressive traits.

It's a recipe for disaster when you go to Letterman to wax poetic about joint families and then have a very public feud with your extended family (be it your own brother or in-laws). Same goes for Abhishek. Dude you do not need be the public front of your parent's shitty marriage. Get therapy. Deal with your own marriage

I don't think Aish is as put together as she usually comes off as. The way she takes A2 everywhere looks like some kind of seperation anxiety. Yes ,quite unhealthy for a preteen and if some ugly seperation drama is going to unfold between the Bachchans and Rai this will be used against her.

As for the health issue, yes there were the predictable reactions from losers who got a kick out of mocking a child but there were others who expressed genuine concern. Aaradhya definitely had some problem with her legs ,she struggled to walk . ( It's possible Aishwarya was taking her abroad for treatment ) . Now while it's up to her parents whether to discuss it or not, dragging her around before the media and exposing her to mockery and then not speaking about it is a bad idea. That's where Aish didn't walk the talk It was an opportunity for a famous celeb couple to come out and say " Hey let's stop stigmatising anatomical problems in kids , our daughter has a severe case of bracket legs ( or whatever that was ) and we are giving her the best treatment ; if you know a child like this be kind and be respectful instead of laughing at them " . And if they were too uncomfortable addressing it they should have protected her from the media glare.

When was Aaradhya struggling to walk? I don’t remember ever seeing such a video. I think it’s just a rumor people started because for as long as it was physically possible Aishwarya used to carry her everywhere. There were also rumors at one point that she’s autistic, for no other reason other than how much Aishwarya seems be holding onto her and the kid in return seems very clingy to mom.

Aishwarya’s apparent attachment might just be because Aaradhya is an only child so this is the only opportunity for Aishwarya to do and experience all the things a mother would typically experience more than once. I’m just hoping that all this clinging doesn’t hinder Aaradhya becoming an independent woman.

As Savita suggested, I hope Aish deals with any, if at all, emotional trepidation on her own and with a therapist. Making a literal child the emotional support of your 50 y/o self is just cruel and unfair to the child. Parentified children suffer the most and I won't wish it on anyone..

Re : any potential illness or disability Aradhya might or might not have is perfectly fine. I find it particularly sick how a child's hypothetical disability was used by grown ass adults to unleash all their ableism. It is infuriating that Abhi-Aish expose her to the paps despite this. Let her live and be proud of her own self. My mom is very very caring to the point that she worries a lot about my wellbeing as an adultand even I'd find Aish exhausting.

this Abhi aish drama is to just to drum up publicity for abhishek's films

There are plenty of videos where she waddles ,and leans on one parent for support quite literally. You could tell there was a problem. These videos are usually posted by concern trolling tabloids who act like they're angry to see people being nasty when they're actually inviting the same nasty folks to make more such comments.

It's one thing to feel defensive and stubborn when people say your child has a 'problem' but another to carry on parading her before cameras without any concern for her privacy. Anyway hopefully the divorce drama would make them seek the much needed professional help to sort all this out. Aaradhya is only 13, she could still have a few more years as a 'child' away from the media BS until she's old enough to decide whether or not she wants to be a celebrity as well.

They, Aishwarya and Abhishek, opened themselves up for all these speculations when they chose to appear as two separate cliques on the red carpet.

Aishwarya is choosing to take her daughter every single place that she goes to and allowing those departures and arrivals to be photographed.

Aishwarya also chose to share her daughter’s birthday pictures without her father or a single Bachchan in attendance.

This is exactly what I don't get. If you're never going to divorce, then at least put in some minor effort in looking together at public functions once or twice a year. All you have to do is appear on the red carpet together for 5 minutes. And be nice and put up pics of Aradhya with the whole family if you're putting up birthday pics anyway. Same from the Bachchan side - it's easy to cover up differences if you put up a basic birthday post for Aradhya or occasionally put up a tweet to wish well for Aish's movie the way you do for Abhishek 500 times.

Nobody would have speculated anything in the first place if this was being done. It barely takes any effort.

Both sides are passive aggressively playing out their problems in the media when it's totally unnecessary.

Now obviously this does not stand if they really are looking into divorcing and it's just taking time to get things sorted out.
