When Aishwarya Rai Bachchan Replied To A Question About Abhishek Bachchan Being 'Overshadowed' By A Famous Wife: 'He Is Very Well Established And Has Carved A Niche For Himself'
Throwback to the time when Aishwarya Rai Bachchan spoke in defence of Abhishek Bachchan
Abhishek Bachchan turns a year older today. Fans of the actor are leaving no stone unturned to show birthday love on him. The actor is busy working on his special day and also gave a glimpse of it on Instagram. Married to actor and former Miss World Aishwarya Rai, he often gets asked about having a "famous wife", and a "famous father", Amitabh Bachchan. Back in the past, Aishwarya came in defense of the actor and stated that 'the truth needs to be said'.
During an interview with BBC, Abhishek was asked if it bothers him being overshadowed by having a very famous father and a very famous wife. Abhishek replied, "No, not at all."
Aishwarya added, "I think it's unfair that this question is posed and imposed on him at each point in time because that isn't it at all. His body of work, the kind of variety of roles, he is very, very well established and has carved a niche for himself."

"But the reason I interrupted is because I found myself for the longest time being asked that, 'you have been a model and you have been a Miss World, so do you find yourself only getting roles where you be this beautiful woman.' So it's the same way. It's this perception that stands larger than reality. And the fact is that we all are doing very good work. I am sorry to interrupt," she added.
When the interviewer claimed she was being "protective" of her husband, she replied, "No, it's the truth. The trust must be said."
Despite being a star kid, Abhishek has successfully carved a niche for himself in the industry. He made his acting debut with J.P. Dutta's Refugee. Later on, he went on to star in many films such as Sarkar, Zameen, Guru and more.
The actor is currently shooting for his film Ghoomar. He shared a picture of the mahurat shot for Ghoomar and wrote, "Can't ask for a better birthday present! Birthdays are best spent, working. Ghoomer. Now spinning!"
