00:00Let's put one thing straight.

00:02Pa is Pa. The only boss in our house is our mother.

00:05I've showed them to you.

00:06See, he's still alive. He's the favourite child. I told you.

00:09And what happened when you told her?

00:11I got a screaming.

00:12Who are you most scared of? Your wife or your mother?

00:14My mother.

00:15Wife.

00:21You're quite sure about it that the favourite for Jaya aunty is Abhishek.

00:25Oh yeah.

00:26Undoubtedly.

00:27It's Abhishek.

00:27And has that been a problem?

00:29Obviously.

00:30When you say the favourite, give me an example about the favouritism.

00:33How does it work?

00:34Her eyes light up when he walks into the room.

00:37It's very bugging.

00:39It's very bugging?

00:40Yeah. The reaction she has to Shahrukh in Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gum

00:45is exactly what she has for Abhishek.

00:47So you identify with that.

00:48Minus the Aarti ka thali, but everything else.

00:50You think she senses Abhishek's arrival?

00:51Yes. She senses his moods.

00:54She says, today he'll come home and he's going to be like this.

00:57I just mark my words and I'm like, really?

00:59And he is like that.

01:00He is the mother's favourite, but clearly you're the father's favourite.

01:03Absolutely. Now ask me.

01:04Now I'm asking.

01:05Yeah. Absolutely.

01:07Nothing else matters to her.

01:09Just her?

01:09Yeah.

01:10Her opinion.

01:11Everything.

01:12All the ladies in our house are very good mimics.

01:16And you mean your mother as well?

01:17Yeah. She's legendary.

01:19When you talk about Aunty Jaya and her love for the paparazzi.

01:22Abhishek, there are hysterical videos online

01:26of her firing, screaming, shouting at the paparazzi.

01:30It's my guilty pleasure.

01:31And it's my guilty pleasure.

01:33I love it.

01:33Is it your guilty pleasure?

01:35I'm going to tell her.

01:36I've told her.

01:37I've shown them to her.

01:38He's still alive. He's the favourite child. I told you.

01:40And what happened when you told her?

01:42I got a screaming.

01:44You guys don't know anything else.

01:46You make fun of me all the time.

01:48I'm claustrophobic.

01:49I can't handle it when people surround me like this.

01:53Who are you?

01:54Are you from India?

01:55The one big change that happened in the family life

01:58is when you married Aishwarya.

01:59You know, it was like another superstar in the house.

02:01Now, how have you managed to strike the balance

02:04between emotion, pragmatism, family,

02:06vis-a-vis another star in the house?

02:07I feel whenever there's in a family unit,

02:10whenever there's a new person,

02:11whether it's a daughter-in-law or even a child,

02:14roles do get reshuffled.

02:16So, like, a lot of...

02:17No, what I'm asking is, like,

02:18you were, like, the go-to person as a sister.

02:21You know, and now there's the wife, who's also a mega star.

02:23Which is great, because it's better to have two hands

02:26than just one, Karan.

02:27I feel a lot of relief that he has someone

02:30he can bounce ideas off and things off.

02:33So, suppose he, hypothetically,

02:36he has an issue with something my father's told him

02:38or my mother's told him.

02:40He may not be able to tell me about it.

02:41And I may come from a biased point of view.

02:43He may be able to speak to his wife about it

02:45without being conscious about something.

02:47Also, she's from his industry.

02:49So, there are certain things she will understand,

02:52she will connect, she will understand his life as an actor,

02:54the hours he keeps.

02:56Just like your parents.

02:57Exactly.

02:58But let's put one thing straight.

03:01Pa's father, the only boss in our house, is our mother.

03:04What secret would you reveal of Abhishek's?

03:06That he was a thumb sucker and, I think, also a bed wetter.

03:09A thumb sucker and a bed wetter.

03:11Oh, a lot like my son.

03:13I know, you suck the thumb.

03:15That's worse!

03:16I used to suck these two fingers.

03:17That's worse!

03:18It's cute.

03:18Alright, what do you love about Aishwarya Rai?

03:20That she's a self-made, strong woman and a fantastic mother.

03:24What do you hate about Aishwarya Rai?

03:26That she takes forever to return calls, messages.

03:30What do you tolerate about Aishwarya Rai?

03:31Time management.

03:33What do you love about Aishwarya Rai?

03:34That she loves me.

03:35Oops.

03:36Okay, what do you hate about her?

03:37I think the way she packs.

03:40And what do you tolerate about her?

03:41The way she packs.

03:42And Jaya Bachchan, the same three.

03:44What do I love about her?

03:45That she's my mother. It's a bond.

03:47And that's what I love.

03:49What do I hate about mom?

03:51I think she's a bit too picky.

03:53Okay.

03:53And what do I tolerate about her?

03:56I think her fetish that everything has to be placed correctly.

03:59One thing you would like to change about your relationship with your wife?

04:01If you had to.

04:04Not much, actually.

04:05I think it's pretty much what I always...

04:07What you envisage it to be.

04:08Yeah.

04:09Alright, we have...

04:10That he is not thinking twice before saying things about mom.

04:14But when it comes to his wife, he's really thinking hard.

04:17Who are you most scared of, your wife or your mother?

04:19My mother.

04:20Wife.
