Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and husband Abhishek recently marked nine years of marriage. The actress, who has recently been praised in her last film ‘Sarbjit’ (2016), has spoken about why she finds Abhishek special.

Talking to Filmfare, Aishwarya divulged, “He�۪s special because he�۪s himself. He�۪s a normal guy. When he walks into a room, he carries his lineage and his upbringing. It�۪s all out there in the obvious and yet you know he�۪s a guy in the room you can have a conversation with, you can hang out with, you can have fun with, you can have an intense conversation with. He�۪s someone who�۪ll have a straight face even as he jokes with you. He was born into showbiz and he has a lineage to carry. Despite all that there�۪s nothing showbiz about him. That�۪s the nicest part. He�۪s relatable and engaging as a person. And he�۪s my man, the father of my child.”

When asked about whether she’s a strict mother to the couple’s daughter Aaradhya, Aishwarya comments, “(Laughs) Years later you�۪ll hear from her about that. There�۪s no rule book that you walk around with. Knowingly or unknowingly you give to your child what you�۪ve imbibed and what you�۪ve been inculcated with. That�۪s what goes on from generation to generation. If it means guiding her to the best of my ability, I do. If it involves, giving her a direction, I will most definitely give that. I�۪ve received it so I will give that to her.”

She also spoke about always being judged on her beauty and appearance, “I look at it all with humour. There�۪s an immense regularity to me. I�۪ve held that true from my first day in showbiz. Sometimes Abhishek teases me saying, ��You�۪re still in denial. I don�۪t think you realise you�۪ve been in showbiz and you�۪re married into a showbiz family and that our daughter is the next generation�۪. When there are occasions, which are perceived larger-than-life, it�۪s best to have humour as your companion. The student approach works best; you try and give your best to every occasion, whatever it is. I take to the table as a professional.”

Aishwarya will be seen next in Karan Johar’s ‘Ae Dil Hai Mushkil’ which also stars Ranbir Kapoor and Anushka Sharma.
