Hyderabad: Bollywood actor Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, in an earlier episode of the popular talk show Koffee With Karan, opened up about her views on marriage, firmly debunking stereotypes often associated with marriage. When host Karan Johar pointed out the current trend of 'crumbling' marriages and the increasing scepticism surrounding the institution, Aishwarya responded with a powerful message on the value she and her husband, Abhishek Bachchan, place on their bond.
"Marriage means keeping the faith," Aishwarya stated confidently. "It's the institution both of us believe in, and that's probably why we felt at home immediately when we came together and got married within a year of it." Aishwarya's statement reflects the strong foundation she and Abhishek have built since their union in 2007.
She also touched upon a common societal cliche about delaying marriage for career progression. "The cliche that I don't agree with is when people say, 'Marriage, not yet, I want to concentrate on my career'... I don't agree with that," she asserted. Aishwarya emphasised that balancing a career and a marriage is not only possible but can be managed well. Karan Johar agreed, acknowledging her successful navigation of both realms.
