‘She is not my daughter, she is my daughter-in-law’ – Jaya Bachchan
Jaya Bachchan said that she never felt the need to be a strict mother-in-law with Aishwarya. He said in a funny but clear manner that Aishwarya’s mother would have already shouldered this responsibility. He said, “There is a difference between a daughter and a daughter-in-law. Sometimes daughters take their parents lightly, but this cannot be done with their in-laws.” Jaya further said that relationships change with time. She told that now she feels more like ‘Bachchan’ than her maternal surname ‘Bhaduri’.
Jaya Bachchan is very strict for her children
Jaya Bachchan also admitted that she has been a very strict mother to her children Abhishek and Shweta. When asked if she is the same with Aishwarya, she candidly said, “Strict? She is not my daughter, she is my daughter-in-law. Why should I be strict with her? I am sure her mother has already done that for her.” This old statement of his is now once again going viral on social media.
Told Aishwarya as my good friend

I don’t do politics behind my back. If she disagrees with me, she also expresses her views openly.” He further said that there is always respect and openness between the two. Jaya also jokingly said that she can be a little more dramatic, whereas Aishwarya has to be more respectful because she is younger than her.
