Netizens Troll Amitabh Bachchan For Not Appreciating Bahu Aishwarya Rai

Now, a Reddit user has uploaded the image that Big B tweeted to promote his grandson Agastya’s upcoming debut movie. The user claimed that Big B never posts any social media post for his bahu, Aishwarya Rai, even after she is at the potentially biggest flicks of her career. The user expressed his feeling of disgust and wrote a note that can be interpreted as:

“Amit Ji couldn’t post for Aish, on her possible biggest films of career. But here posting a picture of Twinkle Khanna and Shweta Nanda so he can connect the dots and hype Agastya’s upcoming film Archies to his 34.5 millions followers. Nana ji ki priorities clear hai.”

The controversy rose to heights after several internet users started a debate over Amitabh’s patriarchal belief system. Users even pointed out the hypocritical behavior of the Bachchan clan for not cheering their doting bahu, Aishwarya Rai.

One user penned, “Bachchans are known to be deeply deeply patriarchal. But I think they’ve all just settled into their own spaces & Aish is her own world, it appears. “It’s very telling”, Another one wrote, “There’s a reason why Aish’s mom unfollowed both Amitabh and Abhishek.”
