Abhishek Bachchan on being married to a global star

In a recent conversation with Lilly Singh, Abhishek shared that his understanding of equality in relationships stems from his early years. Recalling how Jaya Bachchan once had a larger fan following than Amitabh Bachchan, he said, “I had that at home as well, to get that out of the way. When my parents got married, my mother was the much bigger star than my father was. So it was not an unnatural thing. I wasn’t brought up to think that you have to be the dominant one; it was always about partnership."
