Rumors of a rift between Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan have been making headlines for some time now. The couple's recent appearance at Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant's wedding, where they arrived separately, added fuel to the fire. Abhishek's recent liking of an Instagram post about the challenges of divorce further sparked speculation about their marriage. Amidst these rumors, an old interview of Jaya Bachchan, Abhishek's mother, has resurfaced, where she praises her daughter-in-law Aishwarya's qualities.

In the interview on "Koffee with Karan," Jaya Bachchan lauded Aishwarya's humility and ability to listen, saying, "She's a big star, but when we're all together, I've never seen her push herself forward. I like that she stands back, remains quiet, and listens." Jaya praised Aishwarya's down-to-earth nature, saying she has easily gelled with the family and understands their close relationships. Karan Johar, the host, suggested that Aishwarya could help share Jaya's responsibilities, to which Jaya expressed hope that Aishwarya would take on more tasks beyond her existing ones. Shweta Bachchan, Abhishek's sister, jokingly warned her mother not to burden Aishwarya with too much responsibility, saying, "She's standing back and listening."

Aishwarya and Abhishek tied the knot in 2007, in a private ceremony attended only by close friends and family. Abhishek revealed in an interview that they had initially planned a grand celebration but had to scale it down due to his ailing grandmother's health. The couple's marriage was one of the most talked-about in Bollywood, with the media not being invited to the ceremony.

Jaya Bachchan's praise for Aishwarya's qualities has sparked interest amidst the rumors of a rift between the couple. While Abhishek and Aishwarya have not publicly commented on their relationship, their fans are hoping that the couple will work through their issues and continue to be an inspiration to many.
