00:00I like it that she stands behind, she's quiet, she listens.

00:03Living together is a different experience.

00:07What you hate about Aishwarya Rai.

00:09Takes forever to return false messages.

00:30She's lovely, I love her.

00:37You do?

00:38I love, you know I've always loved her.

00:40Yes, I know you have.

00:42And I think, and you would say that she is the perfect choice for the family?

00:45I think so.

00:46I think, I think it's wonderful because she's such a big star herself.

00:52But when we are all together, I have never ever seen her push herself.

00:58Yes.

00:58And I like that quality.

01:00I like it that she stands behind, she's quiet, she listens.

01:05And she's taking it all in.

01:07And another beautiful thing is she's fitted in so well.

01:11Into the family.

01:12Yes, not only into the family, she knows this is family, these are good friends.

01:17And this is how one is supposed to be.

01:20And I think she's doing a wonderful job.

01:22You would say she is the ideal Mrs. Abhishek Bachchan?

01:24I think so.

01:25What do you love about Aishwarya Rai?

01:27That she's a self-made strong woman and a fantastic mother.

01:31What do you hate about Aishwarya Rai?

01:32That she takes forever to return calls, messages.

01:36What do you tolerate about Aishwarya?

01:38Time management.

01:39Aishwarya Rani Preeti, who is the most desirable diva?

01:42If I have to choose one, it'll be Aishwarya.

01:44Amitji, the minute he sees her, it's like looking at Shweta coming home.

01:48Oh really?

01:49His eyes light up.

01:50I mean, I think she'll fill the vacuum that Shweta left.

01:54You were like the go-to person as a sister.

01:57And now there's the wife, who's also a mega star.

01:59Which is great, because it's better to have two hands than just one, Karan.

02:03Correct.

02:03I feel a lot of relief that he has someone he can bounce ideas off and things off.

02:09So suppose, hypothetically, he has an issue with something my father's told him

02:14or my mother's told him.

02:16He may not be able to tell me about it.

02:18And I may come from a biased point of view.

02:19He may be able to speak to his wife about it

02:21without being conscious about something.

02:23Also, she's from his industry.

02:25So there are certain things she will understand.

02:28She will connect.

02:29She will understand his life as an actor.

02:30The hours he keeps.

02:32Just like your parents.

02:33I really feel that Ma has very easily moved into that space of being her confidante in the house.

02:41Where I'm pretty sure when a woman first comes into her husband's house,

02:45she feels a bit out of place, evidently and obviously.

02:49And I think the only person who can truly fill that void is her mother-in-law

02:54because she too knew what it was like to do that.

02:57And I really think Ma's done that.

02:58Being family and living together is a different experience, but the best at it.

03:05It's interesting how similar they as a family, and I'd say I am family, of course,

03:13but if I look at Shweta, Abhishek and Ma and Pa,

03:17it's like mom, dad, my brother and me.

03:20At home.

03:20It's at home.

03:21It's so similar.

03:23Their interpersonal relationship, their everyday, the way they interact,

03:28the way they insist on at least a meal a day together if they're in town.

03:34That's what we did.

03:35We love spending time at home with each other.

03:37This is the way I always was at home.

03:39Probably that's why I didn't see any partying that much

03:40because when you're working, you're happy to be home.

03:47Yeah.

03:48Yeah.

03:49Yeah.

03:50Yeah.

03:51Yeah.

03:52Yeah.
