Although Jaya Bachchan is well-known for her exceptional acting skills and devoted dedication to her family, she has recently been displaying a more commanding demeanour in public. She frequently scolds the paparazzi for invading her privacy. However, Abhishek Bachchan has revealed that his mother’s personality is quite distinct from this.
Recently, in an interview with a leading entertainment portal, Abhishek was asked about his mother, actress Jaya Bachchan’s viral videos where she is seen frustrated with the paparazzi. To which, Abhishek stated that he hasn’t seen those videos. He also revealed that contrary to the public perception, his mother is genuinely warm and affectionate by nature.
He said, “Contrary to public opinion, my mother is not strict. She’s the one you go running to when you’re hurt as a kid. She’s particular, but my mom…for me, my father means what he does to me. In that father-son dynamic, any son will very reluctantly admit that their hero is their father and they want to be like their father. But your mother is ‘maa’, and I’ve always said that the word ‘maa’ encapsulates pure love.”
Abhishek shared that Amitabh Bachchan’s demanding work kept him away during his childhood, leaving him with long periods of absence. However, Jaya Bachchan ensured that her children never felt the void caused by their father’s absence and consistently stood by them. Abhishek recalled how his father would come back from shooting after they had gone to sleep and leave before they woke up, indicating the extent of their hard work.
In his conclusion, he stated that the only person who could consistently keep him and his sister from feeling empty was their mother, and this was only achievable through true love.
