Amitabh Bachchan says Aishwarya Rai will continue to work

Soon-to-be-Bachchan bahu Bollywood actor Aiswarya Rai will be a working member of the family and need not quit movies like other actors, according to her would-be father-in-law Amitabh Bachchan.

The Big B, in an interaction with 50 young fans on a news channel, was asked if Aishwarya will continue to work in films after marriage with his son Abhishek.

“I don’t see any problem in her wanting to continue her career and wanting to continue acting,” he said in the interaction.

Several Bollywood leading ladies, including Aiswarya Rai’s would-be mother-in-law Jaya Bachchan have put their acting career on the back-burner after marriage.

And in a lighter vein, Bachchan added, “and if she is going to be acting better than Abhishek Bachchan, then it’s their problem. It’s not my problem” and laughed.

About his association with Amar Singh and Samajwadi Party, he said it was personal rather than a political one.

“Friendship… I don’t do politics and whatever my association is with Amar Singhji or Mulayam Singhji, it is on a personal… private level,” he said.
