The Bachchan family frequently finds itself in the spotlight. Within Amitabh Bachchan’s family, there is an array of talented individuals. Amitabh Bachchan, a mainstay in Hindi cinema, and his son Abhishek Bachchan, along with daughter-in-law Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, have captivated audiences with their performances. Aishwarya has solidified her position as a global superstar. She is globally renowned for her beauty, intelligence, and acting skills. However, during an earlier discussion, Amitabh shared his thoughts on Aishwarya’s Hollywood aspirations, which led to a disagreement with Abhishek.
Aishwarya has showcased her acting prowess not only in Bollywood but also in Hollywood. Her inaugural Hollywood film was Bride and Prejudice. Released in 2004, this movie was a rendition of Jane Austen’s novel, Pride and Prejudice. Aishwarya’s Hollywood debut became a significant discussion point within Bollywood, even prompting Amitabh Bachchan’s reaction.
In 2004, during an episode of Koffee with Karan, hosted by Karan Johar, Aishwarya Rai was a guest. The show presented a montage that featured various artists’ opinions on Aishwarya’s work in Hollywood; that particular video is still widely viewed. When questioned about whether Aishwarya would achieve success in Hollywood, Amitabh Bachchan commented, “She will advance to a certain extent, but there will be a limit.”
Abhishek Bachchan responded, “Yes, she is exceptionally talented, a remarkable professional, and a wonderful person to collaborate with.” At the time, Abhishek and Aishwarya were not yet married. Zayed Khan commented, “I believe she possesses universal appeal.” Ekta Kapoor remarked, “I’m uncertain, but I hope she does because my initial project was with her, so I’m rooting for her success.”
Shabana Azmi remarked, “I think she has all the required qualities, but it’s ultimately her decision whether she wants to venture there or feels more secure remaining here.” Sushmita Sen stated, “She is being presented as someone who is taking Bollywood to Hollywood, and that’s why I hope it happens.”
