Ash is a simple, traditional girl: Amitabh


Sonia Singh

Friday, January 26, 2007: (Mumbai):


Amitabh Bachchan has said that his daughter-in-law to be, Aishwarya Rai, is a lot simpler than is made out.

He said this in an exclusive interview to NDTV's Managing Editor Sonia Singh.

When asked about rumours that Ash may retire into a domestic role following her marriage to Abhishek, the Big B said that that would be a decision for Abhishek and Aishwarya.

Sonia Singh: What's the one thing that you and Jayaji have liked in Aishwarya? What has really impressed you about Aishwarya?
Amitabh Bachchan: First the fact that Abhishek likes her and we haven't really started living under the same roof so we will soon find out but I think she's a lot simpler than what is made out of her. She's a very simple girl, very traditional. She's also very domesticated.

Sonia Singh: There are rumours that say that as soon as she gets married she should retire into domesticity. Is there any set rule? Jayaji had retired at the peak of her career.
Amitabh Bachchan: I don't think Jaya actually retired. She may have stopped working because we were raising a family and she felt she needed to be with Abhishek and Shweta than in front of the camera. It was her own choice but this is something that Ash and Abhishek will have to decide, and I am sure they have discussed it. From our side, it's perfectly fine. I don't seem to have any problem.

When asked if the Gandhi's would be invited to the wedding, Amitabh Bachchan said that they hadn't decided on what kind of marriage it was going to be.

"We haven't yet decided what kind of a marriage it's going to be. Once we decide that, we'll work out on the invitation," he said.
