Speculation has been rife about turbulence in the marriage of Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, who have been together since 2007. Amid the ongoing buzz, many old interviews and clips of the Bachchan family have gone viral on the internet. One such clip featured Amitabh’s statement from an interview in 2011.
In the conversation, Big B spoke about his decision to distribute his assets equally between his two children—Abhishek and Shweta Bachchan Nanda. As a result, Abhishek’s wife, Aishwarya, would also hold equal rights over his inheritance. Amitabh’s 2024 net worth was reportedly Rs 1,600 crore.
During the 2011 interview with Rediff, the veteran actor stated, “When I die, whatever little I have will be equally divided between my daughter and my son — there is no differentiation. Jaya and I decided on that long time ago. Everybody says that the girl is paraya dhan, she goes to her husband’s house, but in my eyes, she is our daughter; she has the same rights Abhishek has.”

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, a former Miss World and acclaimed actress, has amassed a net worth exceeding Rs 800 crore through her successful film career, lucrative brand endorsements, and strategic investments. She resides in luxurious properties, including Mumbai’s ‘Jalsa’ bungalow and a villa in Dubai’s Sanctuary Falls. Her financial acumen is evident in ventures like a Rs 5 crore investment in a nutrition-based healthcare company and a Rs 1 crore stake in a Bengaluru-based environmental startup. These endeavors, along with her continued presence in high-profile films and endorsements, underscore her status as a global icon. Her last outing was ‘PS II,’ a classic Maniratnam gem, in which she shone with both her beauty and action skills. She also appeared at Paris Fashion Week last year and turned heads with her dangerously gorgeous avatar. At the same time, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan’s public appearances with her daughter Aaradhya Bachchan (who is becoming a young, confident lady with every passing day) always help her garner love from all around.
Amitabh Bachchan, often hailed as the “Shahenshah” of Bollywood, has had an illustrious career spanning over five decades, marked by iconic films and a consistent presence in contemporary cinema. His classic hits include ‘Zanjeer’ (1973), which established him as the “angry young man,” ‘Deewaar’ (1975) that showcased his intense acting prowess, the legendary ‘Sholay’ (1975), and ‘Coolie’ (1983), remembered not only for its success but also for the near-fatal accident he survived on set. The 2000s saw him continue his dominance with films like ‘Mohabbatein,’ where he played a stern disciplinarian. Even today, Bachchan remains a cinematic powerhouse with diverse roles in recent projects like ‘Brahmāstra: Part One – Shiva’ (2022), where he played the wise Guru, and ‘Uunchai’ (2022), a drama exploring friendship. His upcoming ventures include the much-anticipated ‘Kalki 2898 AD,’ a science fiction epic, and ‘Ramayana: Part 1,’ where he is set to portray Jatayu. With these roles and more, Bachchan’s remarkable adaptability and dedication continue to captivate audiences, cementing his legacy as a timeless icon of Indian cinema.
